Omnium Gatherum

Finnish melodic death metal bands might have found a new haven at Crucible. Swallow the Sun played the venue in December, and now Omnium Gatherum — which emphasizes the “melodic” in its music — will descend on Madison in support of 2021’s Origin. That album has been hailed as a “melodic death metal version of Def Leppard’s classic Hysteria” and it serves as a prime example of how the genre has matured in recent years. Also on the bill: Extreme metal from Colorado’s Allegaeon and Pennsylvania’s Black Crown Initiate, as well as “raw-school street metal for the people” from Madison’s own Tubal Cain.

18+ show, doors at 7, show at 8. $22 ($18 adv.).

media release: Finland's Omnium Gatherum formed in 1996 and emerged from a vibrant European metal scene with a series of acclaimed demos. With a sound that blended the raging brutality of Scandinavian death metal with a rich sense of melody and harmony, the bands debut album Spirits & August Light was released in 2003 via UK imprint Rage Of Achilles, and received ecstatic reviews in numerous metal mags across Europe. The Finns ploughed forward for the next few years, releasing a series of critically lauded albums that further explored guitarist Markus Vanhalas unique sonic and compositional world.

Omnium Gatherum released The Burning Cold in 2021. Metal has never been afraid to ask big questions, but rarely has a band invested such sincerity and thoughtful power into their music. The Burning Cold dares to be all things to all people: it's a dark, heavy and vivid adventure through the trouble human psyche and the turbulent world around us, but it's also an exhilarating and big-hearted celebration of the rejuvenative power of gloriously bombastic heavy music.

Omnium Gatherum have  announced their Origin North American Tour 2022. The band will be hitting the road for their headline tour with support from Allegaeon and Century Media labelmates Black Crown Initiate.

“HELLO THERE METAL PEOPLE! We have amazing news for all of you. OG will be hitting the road again, in North America.

The tour will kick off in New York on February 26th and will go on across the continent until March 27th. We will be joined by two great bands, ALLEGAEON and BLACK CROWN INITIATE! See ya on the road,” states OMNIUM GATHERUM about the tour announcement.
