Sat 3/30 @ 8PM
Everyone in the local metal scene knows singer Chris Emig aka Cleveland’s Metal Queen. She made a splash in the area music scene with her band Cellbound for seven years before moving on to form Olathia in late 2014, a band that deftly combined melody with power, presided over by Emig’s commanding presence and electrifying vocals.
Olathia’s first recording, the seven-song EP Hunters, came out in the spring of 2015, revealing music that was still intensely heavy but with a strong groove flowing underneath hypnotic melodies. After some personnel changes, the group released Snake Charmer in 2019, Madness Reigns in 2022, and The Forest Witch in 2023, showing the band’s continued commitment to cathartic thrash.
Join Olathia, along with Assault, Voices of the Damned and Tundra for an evening of cathartic heavy metal at the Winchester Music Tavern. Get tickets here.
