8 / 10
➤ "... absolute pearl ... key appeal: I just couldn't resist the charm of the cover artwork ... refreshingly different ... somewhere between Angel Witch and Agent Steel the debut album of the Germans entertains non-stop ... they actually always find their way into my ear ... remarkably creative riffs and solos ..."
(Hellfire)
➤ "In the spirit of the 80s, this German Metal sensation creates a sonic universe that combines nostalgia and freshness in a stunning potpourri ... epic! ... masterpiece ... impressive time travel ... the driving riffs, the booming bass and the characteristic twin leads are all there ... truly 'old school to the bone' ... a compact but powerful experience that will surely make hearts beat faster ..."
(Metaller DE)
➤ "... this thing makes fun (and thirsty) from front to back with its hearty eighties mix of Omen, Maiden, Running Wild and Grave Digger ..."
(Rock Hard DE)

(Metal Gods TV)
7 / 10
➤ "... add to the twin-leads a good deal of oldschool flair, inspired by the traditions of Heavy Metal of the 80s ... a brew that you can hardly escape as a Metal fan ... straightforward and with a lot of power in music and voice ... OLYMP are a band that more than embody their way of life ... "
(KOBZR)
3 / 5

(All Around Metal)
➤ "… very nice sounding rhythm section on drums and bass, somewhat in style of the first two Iron Maiden albums … nicely arranged … with interesting guitar leads … a bit of speed metal shredding … occasionally melodic … well-played solos … warm but aggressive vocals … performed by OLYMP in 80's Heavy Metal style …"
(Monarch Magazine)
➤ "… very heavy riffage synonymous with the iconic NWOBHM sound … sometimes bordering on the savage style to come out of the Thrash Metal genre … OLYMP offer four songs of rumbling traditional Heavy Metal."
(Frenzy Fire)
➤ "… Old School Metal … with zero frills … full of quality Teutonic riffage and semi-shouty vocals … Ozzy era Sabbath meets early Mercyful Fate …"
(Headshot Music)
➤ "Raw, almost primal … the sound of German metallers OLYMP is as intriguing as it is rousing certainly … Teutonic Heavy Metal breeding … hungrily driving riffery … traditional 80´s styled …"
(The RingMaster Review)
➤ "Nostalgic … based on guitar work, featuring great riffs and really cool solos, including the wide and unrestricted use of twin guitars … all songs are good …"
