Omnium Gatherum’s The Last Hero single heralds May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way album later this year

One of Finland’s most active world-touring bands, Omnium Gatherum, today released their first single The Last Hero from their upcoming album. May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way will be released later this year.

The Last Hero is accompanied by a now-released video shot with director Jari Heino. The video also features behind-the-scenes footage, shot by Brendam McGowan.

“’The Last Hero’ gives a great glimpse into the upcoming album, which promises to be more powerful and groove-filled. This song is the story of an old-school street hero who never gives up and keeps fighting for the sake of fighting. That unyielding attitude is admirable, but at the same time it can also prevent you from seeing and solving situations outside of the fight itself. This is a theme that can also be easily seen in many people’s real lives,” says Markus Vanhala.

Omnium Gatherum, who toured Australia with Insomnium in the spring, have already announced a European tour for next year, named after their upcoming album. They will be touring Europe with Fallujah from the US and In Mourning, the messengers of melodic death metal from Sweden.
