about
Evil Saints have released their vicious follow-up single ‘Olga’, an 80’s Thrash Metal meets Black Metal inspired tune that is sure to ruin your new pants.
Full of heavy riffs and erupting vocals, ‘Olga’ defies the sounds of metal and will leave the listeners gobsmacked and speechless. With powerful and heavy drums connected with intense basslines and mind-blowing lyrics, this song is sure to put a kink in every headbanger’s neck.
A classic revenge story inspired by St. Olga of Kiev, Evil Saints channeled their desire to experiment in the occult whilst tapping into the metal roots from a midwest upbringing, resulting in unique guitar work and dark forsaken lyricism.
Written in 2019, while renting a practice studio next to a black metal/death metal band, the spell-binding song was shelved for a year before finding the right circumstances to finish and release it.
Recorded by the band itself, the song takes inspiration from bands such as Deafheaven, Behemoth, Slayer, Prong, and Ghost, and mixes in Evil Saints admirations and passions for horror, dark surrealism, and the rough history of the dark ages.
With the band gearing up to release a Self-Titled 5-song EP on September 27, ‘Olga’ is the perfect single to get you fired up for the chaos that lies ahead.
lyrics
Olga
Shrill the sound
One by one, to ground
Split in two, the crown
Fire raining down
Cast the stone
As the grave atones
break a million bones
Suffocating moans.
Olga
Taunt the cries
Before death arrives
Village to its knees
“Does the honor please?”
Send for more
Burn the bathhouse doors
And the pain still holds
Vengeance burning cold
Olga
Three sparrows
One for each torn soul
Burning sky comes home
As she takes the throne.
In the end
Blood is still, opaque
Greater hate, you take
For the hate, you make
Blackened death metal riffs and Lovecraftian horror go hand-in-hand on the Seattle brutalists' ferocious eight-track epic. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 6, 2023
