The homage to a certain NWOBHM era band is carried by the Greek metallers Stray Gods in their sophomore release. From opening track 'Out of Nowhere' is apparent that the production's quality is better than last time, as the sounds are crispier and brighter. This is probably one of the main reasons why Olympus sounds closer to Maiden's post 00s era rather than the older days, a different characteristic from the debut. Compositions are once again firm and powerful with lots of energy. One main drawback of this album is the absence of hooky choruses however, as riffs remain tight and vocals are sturdily hitting high notes, the album remains solid throughout. Recommendations: "The Other Side of the Mirror", "Olympus", "Abel & Cain".

On par with other Greek Gods in the traditional heavy metal genre like Warrior Path, for example. The lyrics are excellent and the music is fun with plenty of hooks. None of the ideas are necessary original and there's lots of Queensryche influence (for instance, 'On the Other Side of the Mirror' is a dead ringer for 'Eyes of a Stranger', but there's everything you want from a band like this in this album.
