Hungry for some modern melodic death metal with ridiculously catchy pop influences? Well, your dinner has just been served. This steaming nine-course setting is called “Origin” and it is honoringly brought into the table by the renowned Finnish heavy metal band Omnium Gatherum. Omnium Gatherum – OG for close friends – has been offering remarkable pieces of melodic death metal for already twenty- five shining years. While storming through these ferocious decades, Omnium Gatherum has convinced worldwide legions of heavy metal lovers by releasing unstoppable musical onslaughts and touring relentlessly all over the world.

“Any sort of popularity hasn’t come overnight for OG, and rising to that “next level” has sometimes taken a considerably long time, but one thing has been set in stone: progress has been inevitable. In other words: a lot of great things have happened along the way but the journey hasn’t been the easiest one”, says longtime singer Jukka Pelkonen.

… And recent times are no exception. Contrary to what you might think, we are not talking about a global scourge that gripped the entire world about a year and a half ago.

“Although most of the things around “Origin” have been really good – we have never had so much time to compose and sharpen the material for instance –, there have been some serious roadblocks as well. This, of course, has not come as a big surprise as OG was not born under the happiest stars”, laughs guitarist extraordinaire and the band founder Markus Vanhala.

“Above all, our dear fans should know that since the previous studio effort “The Burning Cold” (2018), half of the band’s line- up has changed. I would say quite surprisingly as we haven’t really had any major problems, at least to my knowledge.”

“This internal turmoil lifted dark clouds into the band’s vast sky and everything was falling apart… well, for a few hours at least. After that, as many times before, we decided to turn these difficulties into something better!”
