Following Olympus: THE CREATORS OF YOUR MOST PERFECT ILLUSION

Following Olympus from the Ruhr area (Ruhrpott) – a band whose music defies categorisation. Their songs blend gripping lyrics and catchy rock melodies into an electrifying sound that skilfully weaves together gritty indie‑rock, pre‑grunge, noise‑pop and punk elements. Since releasing their debut EP "Dionys" in 2020, the quartet have been steadily attracting attention. At their very first live appearance – the preliminary round of the SPH Music Masters 2022 – they captured the audience’s hearts and took first place. A runner‑up spot in the regional final earned them a ticket to the semi‑finals. Their footprint on the local scene has grown ever since, with a string of high‑energy shows throughout 2023, including a set at "Recklinghausen leuchtet". In December 2023 they dropped the single "Fly Away", which immediately resonated with fans. April 2025 marked two milestones: the band released their first official music video – for "Fly Away" – and unveiled "Goliath", the first single from their forthcoming EP. A raw demo of "Goliath" had already appeared on their previous EP, but the new studio version reveals how far their sound has evolved. The remaining songs on the new EP are currently in the final production phase and promise to demonstrate the creative diversity and musical maturity of the band. Following Olympus continue to sculpt their distinctive style — an unmistakable musical experience that is bound to sweep you away!
