Omnium Gatherum Drops "Walking Ghost Phase" Video
As a last single before their new album, "May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way," drops November 7th Finnish melodic death metal stalwarts Omnium Gatherum are releasing the 80s infused "Walking Ghost Phase" that comes with a visualizer video which can be watched below.
Jukka Pelkonen (vocals) about the song: "'Walking Ghost Phase' is about addiction in its many forms. It is about dullness defeating passion yet the addiction creating a fixation. It is a zombie-like state where one is forced to go through the destructive pattern repeatedly. Self-deception is one of the key topics in this song. How addiction lures one into thinking there is nothing wrong and then it consumes you. The title is a real term used when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster happened in the 80's. There were workers exposed to heavy radiation who obviously got sick from it. After a while they seemed to be cured, but that was only a deception. Soon afterwards they just collapsed and passed away. That is why I linked the ’Walking Ghost Phase‘-state to the idea of addiction."
Markus Vanhala (guitars) further comments: "Here‘s the third OG single down the road - called 'Walking Ghost Phase.' This one represents the simpler, straight-forward banger side of the upcoming album, it is getting your heads banging and fists pumping. Really looking forward to playing this one live as it has a feel of an upcoming classic live anthem - luckily we have A LOT of shows coming up. Also fear not, there‘s also gonna be some a bit more proggy or advanced stuff on the album. May the bridges we burn light the way!" More...

Omnium Gatherum Posts New Video Online
Omnium Gatherum releases their newest visual offering for the song “Lovelorn”. This anthem can be seen below. The video (produced once again by Janne Tamminen -xarena.tv/music) was made with game-engine software Unreal Engine 5.
Jukka Pelkonen (vocals) comments: "With Lovelorn one tale ends and another one begins. Despite we the fact that we will be touring to bring you guys music we love to be experienced live, our brains and spirits are summoning fresh meat from the highs and depths of the OG realm. New musical adventures await us all and we will be taking all of you on a high-speed ride to the streets fierce and unknown!"
Markus Vanhala (guitars and clean vocals) adds: "'Lovelorn' is Gothic flirtatious death metal ballad, which closes the Slasher EP cycle being the last nail in this releases coffin before the autumnal burials. By an accident and giving a bit more emotional or atmospheric side of OG, it's a great pathway to the soon starting European tour where we are heading together with Paradise Lost, Primordial and Harakiri For The Sky - festival tour called 'Ultima Ratio', which we of course are looking forward to see all of you our great people. The video is filmed, edited, and visualized by our friend Janne Tamminen / Xarena from California. This time the project was quite special, as all band members weren't even on the same continent, let alone nobody played at the same time. Back to the future and back indeed with Mr. Tamminen with his tricks and traps!" More...
