Presenting epic power metal with a twist of Greek Mythology, Montreal, Canada's Walk With Titans will be releasing their debut album "Olympian Dystopia" on May 26th, 2023 via Rockshots Records.

Efficient, epic, well executed, heavy, and mythical, this is what power metal fans will discover from 50 minutes of Walk With Titans' first full-length "Olympian Dystopia" brought forth by Nikko Cyr (drums), Nick Maugy (rhythm guitar), Louis Jacques (lead guitar) (ex-Blackguard), Lydz Grondin (bass), and Jonathan Vézina (vocals & orchestrations).
Guitarist Louis Jacques adds:
"It's a power metal album without compromising the epic side. I think listeners will realize that and enjoy it. We made this album during the pandemic and it kept us sane, we hope fans will find the same joy in listening to it as we had to make it! We bring some ancient Greek Myths to the forefront like Eurydice and Herakles, while others are more subtle like 'Edge of Time', which is Khronos representing time eating us all. Other tracks on the record we made as an analogy for societal issues.''
Walk With Titans is recommended for fans of Angra, Stratovarius, and Rhapsody of Fire.
