In early 2010 vocalist Ian E.Highhill posted on myspace saying.
Olympos Mons will play their last gig on 30.1.2010 in Ekenäs, a nearby town
to their hometown Hanko. The reason for the split up is part personal problems
and part due to some band members lack of interest in committing themselves
enough to the band.
Still, some of us like myself will continue in other projects so watch
out for us you have not seen the last of us yet!
Some further biographic information from their website (http://www.olymposmons.com/):
"It was neither the alcohol nor their similar band backgrounds which brought the guitarist Jari Sundström and singer Ian E. Highhill together on a concert evening in a small town in Finland in 2002. It was the passion for melodic, symphonic metal music and one which led the two experienced musicians to the important decision of founding a band with the name of OLYMPOS MONS (the highest mountain on Mars and the largest volcano in our own solar system). It was a decision which would make waves in the world of heavy metal. Thanks to their yearlong activities in various bands they certainly had the right stuff. Jari Sundström feels just as much at home in the world of classical music as he does in rock and metal, has been composing songs for many years and his aggressive style of playing guitar has made him a popular figure on the local scene. For his part, Ian E. Highhill has a voice of exceptional range and is known both as a composer and as the author of dark, romantic lyrics."

Olympos Mons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wicked ways of love
Let me drown in
The ocean of your heart
I fade away into the darkness of
Your evil mind woman
I'm begging for mercy save my poor soul
Can't bear this much longer I'm losing control
Cleopatra oh mighty queen
Ruler of the Nile
Your faithful servants will follow you
Mile after mile
She is the bringer of sorrow
She is the goddess of pain
She knows there will be no tomorrow
She's feeding us black lies again
She's insane
Let me drink the filthy
Poison of your blood
Let me swim in the magic
Halo of your soul
The rain and wind, blast and blow,
The sun and moon
Obeys you woman
I'm begging you save me I'm out of control
Surrounded by evil it's taking it's toll
Cleopatra oh mighty queen
Ruler of the Nile
Your faithful servants will follow you
Mile after mile
She is the bringer of sorrow
She is the goddess of pain
She knows there will be no tomorrow
She's feeding us black lies again
She's insane
Untouched by cloud or shade of night
She's standing tall, fair and bright
Praise her name
Ignore her shame
She is the bringer
of pain and sorrow, and the goddess of death. The singer of the song is begging Cleopatra, the mighty queen and ruler of the Nile, to save his soul from the wicked ways of love. He wants to drown in the ocean of her heart, and fade away into the darkness of her evil mind. The singer seems to be in love with Cleopatra but also terrified by her, as he is losing control and surrounded by evil. He is desperate for her mercy and protection.
The chorus asserts Cleopatra's power and influence over her faithful servants who will follow her mile after mile. The lyrics vividly describe her as the bringer of sorrow and the goddess of pain, who feeds people black lies and is insane. She is also portrayed as all-powerful, commanding the rain, wind, sun, and moon to obey her. The song ends with a plea to praise her name and ignore her shame, suggesting that even though she is feared and dangerous, she is still worthy of admiration and respect.
