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 to the table by renowned Finnish metal outfit, OMNIUM GATHERUM. The Finnish melodic death metal masters just release their new single “Paragon” today. The track is off their new upcoming album “Origin”, which will be released worldwide on November 5th via Century Media Records. Watch the video for “Paragon” below.
OMNIUM GATHERUM have been offering remarkable pieces of melodic death metal for already twenty-five shining years. While storming through these ferocious decades, they have convinced worldwide legions of heavy metal lovers by releasing unstoppable musical onslaughts and touring relentlessly all over the world. “Origin” was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios.
“Basically “Paragon” is about overcoming obstacles and hard situations. Anything that comes to the way may be intense and malign, but it will not shatter the diamond of resolve, that is the paragon,” states OMNIUM GATHERUM vocalist Jukka Pelkonen.
Markus Vanhala (guitars, clean vocals) adds: “…that leads us to the near past times of the band. Not only some virus but also weird lineup changes made our last year really difficult. But Finnish perseverance means that hard times and crisis are made to take on as a challenge, overcome them and refine yourself better. So here we are, back on track stronger than ever! That’s why there’s a minimum amount of Finnish melancholy & darkness, but maximum amount of awesomeness & good times in this video. Never surrender!”
“Origin” will be available as Ltd. CD Digipak, Gatefold LP and as digital album. All physical formats can be pre-ordered HERE.
