Winter's Gate was stunning. New DT doesn't impress me. Grey Heavens was aight. Vessels went in a completely different direction. It's alright, but it's not the Be'lakor we know and love.
Agree, not quite your vintage yet my friend ( my 24yr old daughter thinks I need to grow up)but not far off and metal just gets better. I'm from Australia and in my completely biased opinion (haha) Be'lakor are kings. Give them a listen, you wont be disappointed.
Having said that, apart from Be'lakor, Finnish melodeath is the best. Everything Tuomas Soukkonen from Before the Dawn, RoutaSielu, Black Sun Aeon, Dawn of Solace (fkn wow) to Wolfheart, Wintersun, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, ENSIFERUM!!!! ( ok showing my age there).
Sure. - Wolves in the Throne Room. One of the most well known Atmospheric BM bands aside from Agalloch. - Windfaerer. Solar onwards. Latest split reminds me of Agalloch. - Panopticon. My favourite is On the Subject of Mortality, but others tend to like Autumn Eternal/Roads to the North more. - Falls of Rauros. General consensus is that The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood is the best album, but check out "March of the Valorous Bane" from Into The Archaic as well. - Obsequiae. "Medieval Black Metal". Aria of Vernal Tombs is stunning and my preferred album. - Alda. Doesn't matter what you pick, it's all great, but I think Tahoma is the fan favourite. - Ahamkara. Embers of the Stars was pretty solid. - Nechochwen. Heart of Akamon was one of last year's most lauded releases. Other amazing atmospheric bm projects include Ovnev, Echoes of the Moon, Mavradoxa, Torrid Husk, and so many besides. Just check bandcamp for similar releases. As for labels, Bindrune, Nordvis, Voidhanger, Avantgarde, Northern Silence should do you good.
Saw them live a little while ago and I was astonished by how good they were! I absolutely love the way they utilize tapping to create an almost sci fi melodic sound. Probably one of the more unique melodeath bands I've seen
Uprising Upheaval Ticking with the time A greater of realities Of equality Better to be A way better to be No constant state of crisis True chaos is a belief Of true order For once no frontiers For some just frontiers To choose is to see Set the darkness on fire The greates of realities Is here! Better to feel A way better feeling In a midst of crisis True order lives with chaos
OMG this band is unreal. Never heard of them until I saw them open for Dark Tranquility and Sonata Arctica in Silver Springs, Maryland back in July. And after recently listening to all of Grey Heavens and New World Shadows, its clear these guys are for real. Wow. Have only been this blown away by a band in the past 20 years twice before....back when I discovered Dark Tranquility in 2004 and then Nightwish in 2011. This band is special.
+Nella Jessika (marsupihvi) Seriously though. His friggin facial features and black hair make him look like a typical Finn and there is nothing wrong with that at all. :D inb4 most Finns have blonde hair (I'm American btw)
My dad's from FInland and he always points out stuff like that, so I'm quite familiar with that stereotypical look: When I went to see Amon Amarth two years ago, they had Dark Tranquillity and Omnium Gatherum as openers. So I knew DT, but this other band was unfamiliar to me. I looked at their singer though and I thought instantly "those guys are from Finland". I looked it up later and I was right :D

@@whycantihaveanumber00000 - white skin, dark hair > he looks brazilian to me!!! . LOL!!!
+RedgraveGilver Check out Be'lakor. Personally, I like them even more but this is quite good aswell. If you haven't, even tho they're not melodeath, check out Wintersun aswell. They're amazing.
+Marko Dumenčić just discovered Be'lakor a couple weeks ago. they're as if you took some good moves from pretty much every single Swedish band there is, and combined them all into one. sweet stuff. still nothing tops Soilwork and Dark Tranquillity in my book though.
I just love this band and I think the vocals are great! They could go commercial and sing clean and stuff but they choose to keep the darker factor of the growls. I'll be buying this without a doubt!
+William Johansson True. Almost every fucking metal band now a days choose growling over actual singing. It's a shame because metal used to be a genre with soaring vocals. Then again my preference has always been a mix of both cleans and harsh.
SPPV Maybe you should clean your eyes and read again? I didn't say classic metal bands mixed cleans and harsh. If you have read my second sentence, I said that metal originally had soaring vocals referring to NWBHM. All I said that my preference style of vocals is a mix of clean and harsh but I'm fine with just doing cleans or just doing harsh either. Thing is, most new metal band who does harsh vocals now a days are mediocre at best. There many bands who do harsh and cleans at the same time to great results such as Opeth(Before Heritage), Edge of Sanity, Between The Buried and Me, Ne Obliviscaris and I can go on.
estos sujetos son increíbles su estilo y melodías se ajustan de tal manera que da un sonido dulce , brutal y melancólico . su música ....son de los mejores que e encontrado en el death metal melódico
I just heard this song for the first time today and I listened to it 6 times in a row. Not even a huge fan of the genre, but good lord this song is incredible.
+metalcollection1 Whispered is also releasing an album this year so the competition is hard :D But I agree, I will be surprised if it isn't for me. Anyway, what a time to be alive -[ ]-
+miqvPL Also In Mourning, Be'lakor, Dark Tranquillity(maybe), Mors Pricipium est(maybe) and some other good bands which i can't remember right now edit: Allegaeon and In Vain are also working on a new album
määp Oh yeah, Be'lakor, Allegaeon and OG are in my most awaited albums list. There's also Amon Amarth in March and I think new band Words of Farewell (worth checking out) is also releasing some new material
metalcollection1 Yeah i forgot Amon Amarth. Not sure if i've heard Words of Farewell. I recommend listening to In Mourning in case you haven't done that yet, they're probably more Opeth sounding than OG, but their debut is one of the best Progressive death metal albums i've heard.
ok, this guys were suggested on an Insomnium video. Now I understand and I'm happy because I've just discovered Omnium Gatherum. This is so refreshing.
It's what most Finns think, besides mental rally driving. And putins ruSSians think they have any saying here. Lol no, and rip Chaicowski, one of the few good russians.
Amon Amarth got me started into the world of viking metal, then found dark tranquility, heaven shall burn, then I found insomnium, Omnium Gatherum after that, I came across many many more bands if I had to list them all it would take me a while but all of them are just works of art in their own right.
Djentlee That is because this is nothing. Neither heavy nor death stuff. I don't like too much this mixture of tucky keys, for example. But if you like, it's up to you.
What? I'm just hearing about this band and now I'm learning that Markus from Insomnium is in this too!? I feel like I'm about to undergo a Raiders of the Lost Ark face melt montage.
These guys just seem to keep getting better with every album. They find a way to make their music even more and more huge, they deserve to get much more notoriety.
Omnium Gatherum! Still killling it! Come to Austin please!!!!!!!! One of the handful of bands to see live on my bucket list. Itd be harder for me to travel to Europe but damn that would be badass!
Jon Stark Saw them open for Sonata Arctica 2 nights ago and was pleasantly surprised by them. I'm not normally a fan of death metal because I prefer clean vocals but the melodic guitars made me really like them. Plus, their stage presence was top notch.
I met the guitarist Marcus V in front of a gig, he shook my hand, and I told him how wonderful his playing is to me.
Melodic. Death. Metal.
+hitz-art M.G.W. it's more shut-the-fuck-up
+FuzzyCholo And damn good metal at that.
Music don't need labels.
+Nicolas Dias actually it does if you need to categorize it and a fast way to describe it.
+hitz-art M.G.W. you make me wanna shake my booty in an inappropriate manner
In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Insomnium, Be'lakor and Omnium Gatherun. What an amazing year to be a Melodeath fan !
Looks like it's going to be
1. Winter's Gate
2. Grey Heavens
3. Atoma
More like 1) Atoma, 2)Winter's Gate and 3)vessel
Winter's Gate was stunning.
New DT doesn't impress me.
Grey Heavens was aight.
Vessels went in a completely different direction. It's alright, but it's not the Be'lakor we know and love.
MusicMakesYouBraver but did you listen the whole Atoma album ?
No, because it's not out in its entirety yet, until early November. From what I've heard so far it's not amazing.
That's a riff that'll cure cancer
Haha good one!
Time to test it on Covid19!
53 and metal only gets better.
OG is one of the finest metal bands on earth.
Cheers from the USA. Finnish metal rules the planet.
Finnish melodeath, definitely. But the US has some amazing atmospheric black metal projects.

MusicMakesYouBraver Can you recommend some atmospheric black bands from the US ? I know and love agalloch.
Sure.
- Wolves in the Throne Room. One of the most well known Atmospheric BM bands aside from Agalloch.
- Windfaerer. Solar onwards. Latest split reminds me of Agalloch.
- Panopticon. My favourite is On the Subject of Mortality, but others tend to like Autumn Eternal/Roads to the North more.

Melodic death metal is the greatest thing ever
Jesus is probably one of the biggest metal fans.
He even has the hair for it.
Holy crap, those guys can write a catchy hook like it's nobody's business.
That chorus is just unreal.
Insomnium's little brother... I love you both, more than everything
Saw them live a little while ago and I was astonished by how good they were! I absolutely love the way they utilize tapping to create an almost sci fi melodic sound. Probably one of the more unique melodeath bands I've seen
3:10 you can hear this melody only in heaven, i promise you!
Insomnium Be'lakor Omnium Gatherum. It is going to be a great year for melodeath fans!
DT as well, and Shylmagoghnar, and from what I hear, Mors Principium Est.
Also Wolfheart! These guys truly kick ass.
MPE \../
Talha Sulayıcı you forgot dark tranquility.
I didn't really like Of Breath And Bone but other than that Be'lakor is a pretty solid band.
Uprising
Upheaval
Ticking with the time
A greater of realities
Of equality
Better to be
A way better to be
No constant state of crisis
True chaos is a belief
Of true order
For once no frontiers
For some just frontiers
To choose is to see
Set the darkness on fire
The greates of realities
Is here!
Better to feel
A way better feeling
In a midst of crisis
True order lives with chaos
Watched them live 5 days ago. This band is severely underrated...
Hail Omnium Gatherum \m/ !!!!!!!
This isn't a band, it's a spell.
Haber escuchado esta canción en vivo ha sido lo mejor de la vida ❤

we always come back here to Century Media
and to Omnium Gatherum...
shes the one we' ve been growing up following
2019/ 2020
This guys has been on high point since the red shift. They are the best melodeath band right now in my opinion. Can't wait for the album!
+RedgraveGilver Check out Be'lakor. Personally, I like them even more but this is quite good aswell. If you haven't, even tho they're not melodeath, check out Wintersun aswell. They're amazing.

+Marko Dumenčić just discovered Be'lakor a couple weeks ago. they're as if you took some good moves from pretty much every single Swedish band there is, and combined them all into one. sweet stuff.
still nothing tops Soilwork and Dark Tranquillity in my book though.
+RedgraveGilver check out Insomnium as well *_* :) they are pretty tight but yeah definitly a fan of OG :)
I think you guys should check out Wolfheart
I just love this band and I think the vocals are great! They could go commercial and sing clean and stuff but they choose to keep the darker factor of the growls. I'll be buying this without a doubt!
To be honest, growling is what's "commercial" nowadays.

+RedgraveGilver Not to mention Insomium, Be'lakor, Shylmagoghnar, Rotting Christ, A Diadem of Dead Stars and Midnight Odyssey.
This is the real representation of melodic death metal music!
Finland is dominating the Melo-Death scene. Mors Principium Est, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum. All top notch bands.
and before the dawn (rip)
@@TheDeathexen Try Wolfheart ;)
And Kalmah, Bloodred Hourglass, and CoB of course :)
Most especially Omnium Gatherum, right?
Don't forget about Sentenced
Jukka has the most amazing growls 😍
Absolutely beautiful, exactly what I hoped for in a new OG album. Incredible melodic guitars, powerful vocals and flowing melodies
Okay, Omnium Gatherum. You got me with this track.
I'm crying at how good this is; I knew OG would never disappoint me.
I'm gonna go pre-order the album now.
Lily the chorus puts a lump in my throat every time. It's beyond perfect and the ending? Oh my goodness!
@@danielfairweather9229 The ending touches my spirit every time...every time i remember this gorgeous track i think of the ending

I recommend listening to In Mourning in case you haven't done that yet, they're probably more Opeth sounding than OG, but their debut is one of the best Progressive death metal albums i've heard.
määp I know most of the melodeath scene, even some lesser known bands. There's also new Scar Symmetry album coming this year :)
Holy shit! This song legitimately had my jaw dropping
One of the best tunes for the past times.Brilliant sound.
ok, this guys were suggested on an Insomnium video.
Now I understand and I'm happy because I've just discovered Omnium Gatherum.
This is so refreshing.
They have the same guitarist. Personally prefer Insomnium's lyrics and vox but Omnium's riffage.
OG riffgage is built different.
The first one of their songs I've ever heard and I've become an instant fan.
Perfect Melodeath. Omnium Gatherum has definitely mastered the Melodeath genre.
So is ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY shredding in history.
May it be.
Brutal and Melodic!
Nelson Oyarzun I'm ashamed to be a new born finn.. :(
Yes,Melodic death metal is the perfect fusion of melodic and brutality
And pathetic, and boring :)
@@konstantinshalnov6288 Like you!

Great Song!
Respect from Thailand 🇹🇭 .....
👉 Finland 🇫🇮 king of Melodic death metal
Got to see these guys with Dark Tranquility, and Amorphis a couple years back. Epic
just totally in love... crazy in love with this band... and especially with this singer !!
Amon Amarth got me started into the world of viking metal, then found dark tranquility, heaven shall burn, then I found insomnium, Omnium Gatherum after that, I came across many many more bands if I had to list them all it would take me a while but all of them are just works of art in their own right.
How people can dislike this song just makes me question everything honestly lol
Djentlee That is because this is nothing. Neither heavy nor death stuff. I don't like too much this mixture of tucky keys, for example. But if you like, it's up to you.
Video is lame way below their musical talent... We made one like that for my high-school band :)
Rake your fish better.
PURA MAGIA. Increíbles melodías. 4:21....momento épico. GRACIAS, OMNIUM GATHERUM, POR EXISTIR!
At this point, the drummer is really going on something special, to end it in an amazing way.
Toda la canción es épica....
It's sad tath original South Americans were barbegued literally, for some fat king.
In Europe, in SA.
No easy scape goat.
This band is so underrated!
Melodies for days, awesome memorable riffs, heavy, and great songwriting sense abilities! Pretty close to perfect.
It's been a while since a song has taken me on such an emotional ride. It was able to sound both familiar and strange at the same time.
Off to see them in concert tonight a big thank you guys for coming to New Zealand cheers!!!!!
Sounds amazing, so hyped!
What? I'm just hearing about this band and now I'm learning that Markus from Insomnium is in this too!? I feel like I'm about to undergo a Raiders of the Lost Ark face melt montage.
Ever wondered why they tour together so much?
It's more like Markus from this is in Insomnium too :P
They should just combine into a supergroup called Insomnium Gatherum lol
Shadows of the dying sun and Winters Gate albums are not too far from it :P
He founded this band in 1996, loooong before joining Insomnium.
Eargasm.....how can you make this song so brutal but also elegant at the same time????
These guys just seem to keep getting better with every album. They find a way to make their music even more and more huge, they deserve to get much more notoriety.
Loooove this! Can't wait for the new one!
Grey Heavens is amazing album!
Thumbs up a thousand times. Bravo omnium gatherum, you his never cease to amaze me!
I remember back in the day when these guys sent me a friend request on myspace.
I was looking for some melodic stuff and then that riff hit and my head exploded
such a great band and great athmospehere in all their songs!
That feeling when music sounds good and shivers crawling around the whole body.
Cant wait to see u guys with Sonata Arctica this year!! Hail from Pittsburgh!
Just saw them with sonata last night in Hartford they were great! Got to meet the singer afterwards by the merch table really cool guy!
I got to see that tour :) it was fucking amazing!
Nicholas Storey both bands were amazing!
I'm hearing this song for the first time after I just listened to Son's Thoughts. Damn, their production quality has come a long way.
Esta banda desde que la empece a escuchar nunca decepciona, cada vez mejor...
The Masters Of Melodies
Awesome! The leads and the vocal just go along very nice.These guys are genius.
This is Amazing, beautifully guitar work nobody can play like omnium gathrum
0670kitty go listen to Allegaeon
theBloodwolf13 allegaeon is pretty good as well thanks for sharing this
OMFG!! can't wait!!
Mindblown! I'm so glad I've discovered metal. I feel blessed to be a part of metal community \m/
I met the singer last Wednesday! So polite and welcoming!
Really feels like a return to their first album! Great song!!
De lo mejor que eh escuchado en mi vida, genial banda
this is the best music in the whole world
Honestly since I discovered them, almost everything else I listen now sounds very average all of a sudden.
Hold the horses,
at least a little.
---I am delighted! Thank you for your amazing work!
its amazing, i feel great when i
hear a music like that.
Vaya temazo impresionante de esta gran banda,cuanto mas lo oyes mas alucinante es.
