That sounds beautiful.

[@auroraviola]

This song is a masterpiece, so emotional, powerful and deep, reminds me of struggle for life of every living being and their strength to keep going on, as well as our beautiful and abused planet keeps going round the Sun. We are nothing without Nature! This is Metal Force: my essence, the light in my darkest hours, the strenght to carry on.

[@ryanm5317]

Lyrics: Hey brother Make way for patience Or there is a chance To breath through frustration PIck it up Fill it up Not splashing a single drop There is a lot of peace, Tranquility On the calm surface of the heart Hey sister Have you been the drama? It becomes more severe Every time you fall from grace A strain of history Heavy on the shoulders And the world It moves forever on And after the mourning Morning has gone It is time again To journey towards home The perpetual flame is ever waiting For the one who sees All that is done At last no reason, a sensation, To slay anymore The silent hounds are all asleep And the world it moves forever on Here On the calm surface of the heart

[@iang-lb7nx]

No the vocals dont go with the music I'm afraid. Out of place on this type of song.

[@molekyyli]

@@iang-lb7nx I guess it depends on one's preferences. I absolutely love the combination... I personally wouldn't like it nowhere as much as I do if it had clean vocals instead of growls.

[@NavsangeetSingh]

Man, this song almost makes me cry because of how good it is. No wait, there is only one word to describe it: Beautiful.

[@AlPacinoLeBoss]

[@lionrock3]

Man, Markus Vanhala is the master mind of these sweet riffs and melodies. Jukka is making OmG more unique with his amazing vocal, but all are doing great job

[@alessandrogallotti5508]

Less than one year. So long lasted the most intense relationship of my 45-years life. This song smells of that foregone love. Hate you, Roby. Love you still, Roby.

[@AlejandroRamos-dz5xb]

this agressive genre with this beyond-hapiness mood is something only you guys could have done. may your souls, imprinted on these frequencies, resonate across the echoes of eternity. thank you for making humankind closer to divinity, at least for 6 minutes and 21 seconds.

[@jfedorcak]

Listening to Omnium Gatherum for the first time. My first thought was "this is very beautiful and the vocals are something different from other harsh vocals i have heard so far, I like that very much" and was surprised by the comments about not liking the vocals and so on.

[@tpvlyrm261]

They should at least give an example of what style of vocals they think would be better I reckon.

[@jackjerenore5736]

you've obviously been listening to some freaky shit ahhaa

[@iang-lb7nx]

Tucker dude, I've listened to metal since I was 13, I'm now 39. Morbid Angel is the first band that got me into metal. I've no problem with growls. You're blinded by your personal beliefs. Just because it's metal it doesn't have to growl to show its metal. Fact is the vocals don't suit most of their songs im afraid.

[@sixgunsymphony]

Ten years ago we made this video with band. Shooting in sunshine, rain and storm (and studio). Still one of my own favorites. Good memories!

[@Silver.Leaves]

Do you happen to know why Olli moved from his stunning nature/light/shadow watercolour-like art away to something really weird on two recent OG records? I guess as per band's request? I wish he returned back to what he makes best, this video and Beyond/The Unknowing artworks showcasing that.

@@tapioaulu7939 Thank you very much, the question been puzzling me for years! The video is amazing work that just doesn't get old, my friends.

[@BetrayingLight]

Without his epic vocals this wouldn't be an Omnium Gatherum song. Jukka is the very trademark of Omnium's sound. I myself love the vocals, they are so powerful and emotional and really fits the song. But to each his own taste.

[@eljas_11]

This song has got me through some tough times over the years! Will always be one of my favorites. Thank you Omnium Gatherum! 🤘❤

[@MartyTruckster]

Many people ask me why i love Melodic Death Metal... Here is the answer...

[@Bionephilim]

ese grupo es una mierda al lado de behemoth...

[@MartyTruckster]

Para empezar son géneros completamente diferentes

[@MartyTruckster]

In Flames is my favorite band, I've got tattooed their band logo

[@MichaelKeelphotography]

Vocals, band etc. Are top notch. These guys are the best thing in this genre of music these days. Keeping that soulful melodic 90's sound with an updated feel. They're open minded, in their musical tastes, and it really shows in the craftsmanship of their songs. The haters obviously didn't grow up during this time, the time of creativity. Metal songs can have melody, sensitivity, and brutality together.

[@dustmouse]

Just saw these dudes last night in Denver. They did not disappoint. Absolutely crushed this song live.

[@daysofwinter1]

Your opinion of Exmortus?

[@dustmouse]

daysofwinter1 I thought they were awesome. Great energy.

[@AWorldWithoutWar]

daysofwinter1 I saw the same show but in Portland. I thought exmortus was a lot of fun. I loved his high pitch wail. Im not usually a thrash fan but all three bands put on an awesome show.

[@vladmira]

Was at that show! They killed it! DT and Exmortus kicked ass too!

[@priest6891]

how can you call that a music. thats not music this is a ritual that touchs souls. i fell depressed and happy at the same time. good job...

[@MrLeios]

Strange how a song can change my feelings different eveytime i hear it. One day it makes me feel really good and just enjoying the nature outside. The next day i feel like screaming and guitars brings tears to my eyes. That defines what a masterpiece is for me!

You just articulated how I feel about music sometimes, thank you. Particularly this song too like you said.

For me, they dont need to get another singer, sure his technique is not the best, but sometimes you just need to be unique, you dont need to be the best at what you are doing, being unique makes you good aswell, and I fucking love the uniqueness of his voice. So deep, so calm... to me it fits with the song, but theres not a truth when it comes to music, you either like it or you dont.

[@makeoman33]

So why do these guys stand out as brilliant lights against a bland backdrop of shadows? True, the vocals are an acquired taste, but the thing I love about this band is that they aren't afraid to use the MAJOR SCALE. This is musically rich. The heavy guitar and vocals juxtaposed by the happy sound of the major scale, along with the awesome riffs and synth in the background just give it this awesome, triumphant, epic feel to it. The key changes are awesome as well. These guys are geniuses.

[@KingDevil444]

I actually think the deep growls of the vocalists and the melodic feel of the music are an amazing mix. And for people saying Melodic Death Metal shouldn't have such low growls: many Melodic Death Metal bands do actually use those low vocals. For example, just look at Kalmah and Amon Amarth, two of the biggest Melodic Death Metal bands out there at the moment. Both have low vocals. But of course as everything in music it's subjective, although I personally love the combination haha :)
