Karhula, Finland (1996 – present)

Omnium Gatherum is a progressive melodic death metal band founded in Karhula, Finland in 1996. It has many directions and styles, some of them clearly visible while others more unseen. Namely working and keeping it all together under the monicker of melodic life-and-death metal, bastardized by various influences from a whole lot of genres and sub-genres (thrash, black, power, heavy, punk, progressive,neoclassical:especially on a debut album Spirits and August Lights… ), with a lyrical concept not very often seen in the world of metal - that is, academically twisted old school tell-a-tale folk singer attitude with a small amount of mystic poetry hidden somewhere between the lines.

Note: Gatherum Castle is the seat of the Duke of Omnium in the ‘Palliser’ series of novels by Anthony Trollope.

    Their two previous albums have been nice surprises by being awesome. Spirits and August Light had its moments but nevertheless it's a pretty mediocre album. From what I recall, The Fall Went Right Through Here was the only good song on Years in Waste. I've never listened too much to Stuck Here on Snake's Way 'cause it sounds so boring and awful. In fact I had already lost hope of OG ever making a good album, and then they released The Redshift. I was stunned. This year they continued this victory march with New World Shadows. I hope they keep up the good work.
