Biography

Kotka, Finland (1996 – present)

Omnium Gatherum is a six-piece band from Kotka, Finland. Founded in the autumn of 1996. Although the band mainly follows the path of melodic death metal genre, the music created by the band, especially the later albums, has strong influences from the sub-genre.

After releasing four demos, they were signed to Rage of Achilles, The debut full-length album “Spirits And August Light” was released in April 2003 via Rage Of Achilles and gave the band some well-deserved attention within the underground metal community and the press. The album showed another side to the light: despite the clear and catchy melodies and the stable rhythm all along the way it had a lifelike taste of dirtiness to it, with desperate love and uninvited hate searching for an outlet, like something you didn’t want to see happen but it did nonetheless.

Next in line to be was the band signing to a metal giant label Nuclear Blast in the autumn of 2004 to release the second album “Years In Waste”. More technical, more progressive, more sophisticated but at the same time colder and moving away from the listener was the new recipe that was completed with themes from the wasted youth, depression and soul-loss, shamanistic metaphors leading the two-fold way back in time while the moon shone stranger than ever. It is always darkest right before the morning.

In spring 2006 an era came to an end in OG and the long-time singer Antti Filppu was replaced by Jukka Pelkonen aka J.

    It's funny how I didn't much care for Beyond when it first came out, aside from The Sonic Sign... but apparently it has really grown on me, 'cause I seem to love it now. Especially The Unknowing and Nightwalkers... two tracks that somehow kinda went unnoticed for me, at first. Must've been the mood I was in.

    Also, "The Redshift" is by far my favorite album of theirs.

    New World Shadows is rather good. Maybe i was listening it in wrong mood and didn't get into it 'cause I feel it's deeper than it seems to be.

    Yea, the recent record by In Mourning is plain stellar, and they changed the logo to use the font Insomnium uses :D Maybe OG and Be'lakor should do the same... why pretending, guys :D

    Beyond is the first I've heard from these guys, and I'm pretty blown away. BTW you can't talk about brilliant MDM without mentioning In Mourning. Weight of Oceans is godlike

    Absolutely amazing. Melodic Death Metal at it's finest. I love how they merge the harsh vocals with these outstandingly beautiful melodies. They developed their own truly unique sound. I really hope I'll get to see them live someday.
