Omnium Gatherum celebrates next month’s tour in Japan and In China with “New Dynamic” live video

Omnium Gatherum celebrates next month’s tour in Japan and
In China with “New Dynamic” live video.

A new album is in the works, a special tour in Europe is also coming
in the beginning of the year with Insomnium.

Omnium Gatherum, one of the export powerhouses of Finnish metal, will go on tour to Japan and China next month, and the mood is being raised with a new video. The live video for the “New Dynamic” was shot in the band’s hometown, Kotka, at the Dark River Festival last year, and the clean live recording of the video is the best way to pay tribute to the band’s playing skills. The video was made by Coldstore Productions and directed by Jari Heino.

The band, who released their “Slasher” EP through Century Media last year, has taken a break from gigs for this summer’s festivals, focusing on working on the material for their next studio album. The upcoming tour in Japan and China is therefore also a special source of joy for the band, especially since the first gig in Tokyo was already sold out some time ago.

“Asia is calling again and OG is answering! There’s going to be full metal coverage in 13 cities, and it’s great to be back in the Far East again after a few years off,” the -[OG]- crew states.

Eluveitie – Joliet, IL 03/11/2023 at The Forge

Eluveitie returned to the greater Chicagoland area playing The Forge in Joliet, IL. Although I consider myself a big fan of Eluveitie I missed their last few visits to Chicagoland due to prior engagements. Because of this, this was my first time seeing the band with their new lineup. I didn’t know what to expect, but I very much enjoyed their performance. Although Lead Vocalist Chriegel Glanzmann’s was absent due to a family emergency the band opted to perform, and perform they did. Fabienne Erni lead the band with powerful vocals that stole the show and delivered one hell of a performance for her own birthday show. She was assisted on vocals by the very talented Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires and Jukka Pelkonen from Omnium Gatherum who equally split up the parts by taking turns on stage from song to song and then coming together and both singing on the band’s final song of the evening, “Inis Mona” Not to focus only the vocals though as the whole band performed amazingly and gave the packed venue a phenomenal experience that many will not forget anytime soon.
