Omnium Gatherum release new music video for ‘Reckoning’

OMNIUM GATHERUM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Reckoning, is taken from the Finnish melodic death metal band’s upcoming new album, Origin, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, guitarist/clean vocalist Markus Vanhala says, Reckoning is a certain powersong or an uplifting song which we needed to rise from the depths of a past year, and it was the last song we wrote for the new album. Adult oriented death metal at its finest glory, that dark and shiny place where DEF LEPPARD and death metal meets. DEATH LEPPARD, maybe? The music video saved a warm memory from a very hot summer day in my hometown of Kotka, where we played at the rocks of the beautiful island of Rankki. Lying on the rocks zipping cold beer and driving with the boats at the sea. Kotka isn’t that far from Miami, except geographically, haha.”

Vocalist Jukka Pelkonen adds, “this song is clearly and absolutely about a situation where someone is really trying to mess things up and goes about doing it in secrecy. ‘A Story’ about an individual who is so messed up that he/she turns against the people who really matter. This is a certain way to ruin, yet the one doing so denies all responsibility ‘avoiding only the truth’…”

Origin is set for release on November 5th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
