Official video for the song "Soul Journeys":


Hailing from Finland, OMNIUM GATHERUM is a band playing fierce death metal with breathtaking melodies, progressive originality and a discreet sense for superior folk brought together in an over-all dark mood. It’s all about intensity and a morbid atmosphere. This is what makes NEW WORLD SHADOWS, bands fifth album (first for LIFEFORCE RECORDS), so unique and impressing. OMNIUM GATHERUM are offering songs for people looking for something different that still is catchy. The moods and emotions swirling in the midst of the cauldron are the result of a challenging dramaturgy based on thinking outside the box
and reflected creativity beyond learnt structures.

Formed in 1996, OMNIUM GATHERUM have released four albums and one EP for well established labels such as Nuclear Blast, Candlelight and Rage Of Achilles. With their previous two albums – Stuck Here on Snake’s Way (2007) and The Redshift (2008) – the Fins even have entered the official Finnish top-30 album charts, followed by extensive touring all across Europe alongside Dark Tranquillity, Swallow The Sun, Entombed and Insomnium. On their fifth album OMNIUM GATHERUM are following their identifiable path being melodic but brutal with contrasts ranging from sorrow to joy and from hope to despair. NEW WORLD SHADOWS is an epic and massive attack of the ever flowing stream of Finnish melodic death metal played straight from the souls of the black!

Still love this band. The singer(last 3 albums) was in the band Elenium before O.G. People should check them out too.

 

[Death Aflame]

Cool. Hopefully this record is at least as good as The Redshift. I doubt they will ever reach the heights of their debut but I do still enjoy their 80s pop influenced melodeath.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The Redshift rocks, their best since the debut.

 

[celestialelixir]

The Redshift has been their best so far. Hopefully Dan's touch will make this album really great
Can't wait

"Finnish melodic death metal played straight from the souls of the black!"


lawl.

Good band though, racist, but good

 

[ArneZ]

Last album was fucking ace, good to see that I wasn't the only one enjoying it! Looking highly forward to this one. These guys knows how to put on some incredible melodic stuff.



Highly underrated band.

 

[ramses]

Yes they are....

 

[Death Aflame]

So, has this leaked yet? Reviews have been going up recently so I figure it's only a matter of time.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Wraahaha.Cool.

 

[Physicx]

Good band though, racist, but good

theyre racist?

anyways, redshift was great. will be looking forward to this

 

[Dusty Bones]

Good band though, racist, but good

Racist? Since when? This must be a troll but here goes anyway...

Nobody in the band has racist opinions or attitudes. Personally I'm STRONGLY AGAINST racism, fascism, inequality, segregation and all kinds of discrimination in general, you name it. That's why I really don't like reading stuff like this about our band. Check the facts before spreading your bullshit.

A bit more on-topic: New stuff coming soon online, stay tuned!

[Death Aflame]

New video and song!

I really like the clean vocals (done by Dan Swano), it adds another dimension of expression to OmG's already impressive palette.

 

[ramses]

They have yet to dissapoint me...

 

[Death Aflame]

I know. The Finns are keeping melodeath alive almost single-handedly.

I hope they tour North America in support of this album.

 

[Luoto]

I'm probably going to see them in February with myGRAIN. Should be a good show!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Good band though, racist, but good

You're a goddamned retard.

 

[Dusty Bones]

Hmm... I was about to post the new video here but Death Aflame beat me to it. Guess I'll just have to link this teaser of three short clips:


Amazon has also short samples of the songs:

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I'm pretty pumped for this album, honestly.

 

[The Bringer]

I'm pumped that's for sure. I saw them at Dark River Festival in August for the first time and it was a pretty stellar performance. Found out they'll be coming round my neck of the woods in March and I instantly popped on Spirits and August Light. Perfect album. Absolute beauty.

This new album is shaping up to be pretty damn good too. Can't wait for it to come out. Will eat up all the merch they have at the gig to show my support.
