Olympus Mons
Olympus Mons is a great, prog-rock band from Pittsburgh (my town). Named after the largest mountain on Mars, Olympus Mons, the band, is as deep and mysterious as its namesake. This is a great band. The vocals are recorded in the background, giving the band the sound of mystery and suspense, as if they are sharing a secret with you alone. The band has not recorded for a while, which is a shame. If you listen to their music (and they are top-notch musicians), you know that they need to get in the studio and back on stage. They have a sound similar to Queensryche, but really, they are so different, it is impossible to categorize. All I know, they are tremendous and need to be listened to them. Share them with your friends, but make it a secret conspiracy.
