Dutch doom/death metal Oltas return with a brand new single »The Pain Inside«; release tour kicks off tomorrow!

Kollum, Netherlands based doom/death metal Oltas return with a brand new single »The Pain Inside«, which was just released today.

Listen to »The Pain Inside« on Spotify and other streaming platforms!

Says the band: “This track has been in our live set for a while now but has never been recorded before.

It will serve as an endpiece for the first 8 years of Oltas… With the appearance of Feike and Willemijn a new Oltas is born and we are exploring new musical doom territory…

Lyrically this one is all about the pain and struggles we all feel from time to time…

The release is followed by a short release tour.”

Oltas live:
6/11 Deinze, Muziekcafé Elpee (BE) w/ Dodentocht

Arcane Awakening Tour w/ Dethscend & Growing Horns
7/11 Antwerp, Antwerp Music City (BE)
8/11 Amsterdam, The Cave (NL)
9/11 Lille, High Voltage Bar (FR)

Unorthodox doom…

As we dethrone our own inner tyrants, the good in the world can rise. In this way we contribute to a collective change of consciousness from the inside. Our music reflects the Frisian landscape which we grew up in. It is vast, wide open and diverse. Lyrically, personal motivations and stories are revealed. But also a critical look at our existence and the role of us humans in it…
