Am I Too Old? I think each and everyone has asked themselves this question. Can I do it? Is it too late for me to start? Can I really achieve something at my age? Is there something or someone for me? Or should I just give up? Can I really handle the pressure?
The song Am I Too Old aims for center of this feeling. As the story unveils the questions remains. Sometimes you just have to dare to do it, whatever you need, want or feel like no matter your age or abilities. Because if you don’t, you will not ever know if you could. Sometimes its the journey that is the goal of it all. Am I Too Old? The outside answer is No! But the demon behind you will always whisper yes. Let us help you handle the demons Pressure and answer the questions for you! You can do whatever you want!
The Band
Who are Pressure I hear you ask? Well, if you had to tag them with a genre the one that fits best is a ‘melodic rock’ but they are so much more than that. Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden and with vocalist Olof Jönsson you can always guarantee soaring, athletic and committed vocals. Together with a twin guitar sound coming from songwriter and lead guitarist Simon “Siirpo” Forsell and Emil Salling. The addition of Olli Violet is a a definite asset to the band. We at Pressure have welcomed the beautiful and mesmerizing, succumbing and metal voice of Olli Violet from the Republic of Belarus to the band and the Pressure family.
Have you seen the dark mistress of the Shadows? The one who commands the darkness with her burning eyes and enchanting voice?
Olli Violet – the Shadowess of Pressure is our beautiful and strong female vocalist! With her fantastic talent and spellbinding voice, she brings soul and a dimension that are unmatched in the metal scene! And the future of Pressure has forever changed.
Their work often focuses and embraces the pressures felt from everyday existence. Their lyrics ably demonstrating that there are two sides to every story – the good and the bad. Every song has a double meaning and they truly see music as a tool to handle the different pressures thrown at us from the modern world.
The band began their journey together in 2018, and since then they’ve worked tirelessly developing their sound and live performance, their aim? To make memories with their fans and to an epic musical soundtrack.
A quote that can summarize their lyrics is:
“How can you tell a story about life if you haven’t dared to live life to its fullest!
Pressure is all about every story, every moment, every Pressure!

What The Media Say
“The story begins with a quiet, cinematic atmosphere that quickly morphs into that signature duel guitar attack, but instead of punching, they plead. It’s a stellar combination of vulnerability and classic rock power. The vocal harmonies echo power metal,”- Caleb Straus, First Angel Media (Oct 10, 2021)
“There’s plenty of classic rock crunch. It’s a bright and punchy mix that feels like melting snow in painfully bright sunshine. There’s beauty, tragedy, and some emotionally driven intensity throughout the song’s peaks and valleys. The complexity and layering of vocal harmonies are specifically impressive here, and do much to promise great things from this still fairly-fresh vocal combo.”- Caleb Straus, First Angel Media (Oct 11, 2021)
“Pressure takes it to a whole new level with their new vocalist! If you liked them before, you are gonna love em now! If you never heard them before, you are gonna hear them now!”- Ceo – Zach Moonshine, Metaldevastation PR (Oct 10, 2021)
“The song itself is brilliant and the addition of Olli Violet as a second singer is a stroke of genius on the part of Pressure, as she brings a touch of class to the band. Her vocals on this track is brilliant, as they a perfect counter to Olof’s slightly harsher vocals.”- Ell Yong, Project Metal Music (Oct 10, 2021)
“The Stockholm-based powerhouse PRESSURE is set to drop their hard-hitting rock ballad, AM I TOO OLD, which tears through the self-doubt that starts to manifest in our mortal coil when youth has been lost. In true rock opera style, PRESSURE touches on raw issues veraciously while letting the atmosphere consume you in the intensity of the emotion.”- Amelia Vandergast, A and R Factory (Oct 10, 2021)

“A mellow classy guitar lick flows effortlessly through the intro as haunting dark vocals bring this track to life.”- Darren McNtyre, Jace Media – Am I Too Old (Oct 07, 2021)
