Great Dude! If you want to hear their older stuff, "the unknowing" is in my opinion the MUST. An awesome video with even more awesome music. Thanks for the channel and greetings from Finland.

'The Unknowing' recommendation strongly seconded. It's pretty unique song in my books. Seen these guys live through the years in small clubs and on festival stages. Damn I love them. The energy is unreal. Vanhala, though, is a living legend.

That song almost made me cry a few times. It is a massive spiritual experience for me.

OG is just one of the reasons why Finland has been one of the happiest countries in the world for a long time & since 2018 four years (2018 - 2021) in a row.

My favorites by Omnium Gatherum are "Frontiers", with which I discovered them, and "Gods Go First".

Gods Go First is one of their faster songs and my favorite. It's also got a tasteful yet kickass guitar solo in it.

"is this band, like, another legendary melodeath band from, like, finland, that i just was not aware of?" yes. yes, they are. especially surprising that you never heard of them since, as you noticed, they share a guitarist with insomnium, who you know already. and yeah, they have some awesome uplifting sounding harmonics in their music. great band.

Finally, one of my 3 favorite bands from Finland. The other two are Wolfheart and Kalmah. This song is what I like in melodeath - growls, sing-screams, nice lead guitar, tempo changes. Definitely going to check the whole album.

Hey! What do you say about Sunless Rise? Most peaple think Sunless Rise from Finland ))) But... not))

This reaction made me so happy! ❤ This is my favorite band! Many people say they don't like the singer's voice but I love it! And the melodies...Perfect! I call their music "the music of my soul". Very comforting. To me Markus Vanhala is the God of melodic death metal.

German and folk. :D Mors Principium Est is also awesome Finnish melodeath band if anyone's interested in the genre. Their guitars and drums are tiiight as hell. Personal recommendation: Cleansing Rain.

how can you not know such cool groups?:( I once listened to their albums to the holes, their sound cannot be confused with anyone :) thanks

Everytime I hear a bass that heavy, I know it's Finnish or Swedish. They know best🤘

Loved it. Omnium Gatherum is one of my favorite bands alongside Insomnium.

Check out Wolfheart!!! Finnish death metal, low growls, heavy drums and guitars. Amazing musicianship, acoustic parts and wild solos. Toumas is the vocalist, drummer and also plays guitar and piano. Been around a few years. Listen and watch The Hunt. Great video inside the studio. Tons of gear.

I got as exited as you discovering omnium gatherum after listening to insomnium alot and seeing how many albums they had. Be the Sky is a strong recomend. Song that builds up to explode in the end

As far as recommendations go: "Skyline" is I think their most Well known song. I kinda hate that song though because the lyrics just don't make any sense. Like, at all. I'd recommend "New Dynamic" which is also super popular. I was supposed to see them in a few months with Insomnium but seems like that's not gonna happen. But being a melo death nerd, those two in one night is kind of a bucketlist thing for me.

I love the American metal fans opening up for the European stuff. The world is full of creative content we have never heard of, and now we have the internet to reach our most distant future friends.

definitely underrated band and they put on a KILLER live show, the energy is unreal. For some reason I could never get into their studio releases, but every time I see them I become a bigger fan! Cannot wait for them to come back to the states.

so happy to see these guys get a little more attention! 🤘

Oh hell yes, you gave Omnium Gatherum a shot! 🥳 I also recommended a few months ago..

nice touch using "while we sleep" in the outro of your video.

About time! I'd been waiting for an Omnium Gatherum reaction. Great video and looking forward to the new album. "Gods Go First" could be a good video to check out. Keep up the good work, great channel. Greetings from Chile.

It's fun to see when your guesses go way off, and just after few bars you know that it's not what you were expecting. Hehe. Thx for this react Tank, stay safe and healthy. Hopefully i see you in your next live, missed last one.

Omnium Gatherum were the last band I saw before we got locked down for COVID down here in Sydney Australia. Easily one of the best live bands I've seen. I had a really nice moment when Markus went out of his way to give me a fist bump after the gig! I missed his first fist bump as we couldn't reach but he stepped down stage to so we can :) Oh the perils of being a short guy myself... The melodeath scene in Sydney isn't as big as other metal subgenres so it was awesome to see the band appreciating their fans as we do for them going out of their way to tour down here. Also loving your reactions Tank. You seem like a fun bloke to hang for gigs with all your energy!

Bloodred Hourglass dropped a new video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/gm1_pLehqbSdZLQ.html

Dude, It's awesome how you pick everything out in your reaction videos! Markus is an original founder of Omnium Gatherum, and he later joined Insomnium after Ville Vänni had to leave the band to pursue his life saving duties of being a surgeon in South Africa.

So glad you found these guys. Their last album was fantastic and they've been incredibly solid for the last decade. Saw them live in 2018 and they were incredible. I love that you said uplifting because I feel the same way about them.

Fantastic man, I've been checking out tons of your reactions and they always make so happy! Best stuff ever no doubt about it. So cool that you recognized Markus from Insomnium in this video, cheers dude :D

Damn, discovering a new band like this is such a blessing for the ear. I'm glad you dig them, they're for sure one of the more recognizable melodeath acts overall, i personally love Nightwalkers from their album Beyond.

Mors Principium Est is the next natural step for more Finnish melo death. Also, if you want a bit moodier stuff, there's also a new slngle from Dawn Of Solace

Hi there ! Another Great Reaction !!! :) Omnium Gatherum is one of my favorite band , so i'm really glad you finally listen to this band. Omnium Gatherum as so much great song but i'll recommand you yo listen to "The Unknowing" from the "Beyond" Album . So intense and melancolic at the same time. Thx for the channel and Greetings from France

So as you pointed out, Markus is in the band, as well as Insomnium. Quite often you will find fans calling the pair Insomnium Gatherum, as they tour together quite a bit (go figure). I got to see Omnium Gatherum a few years back with an absolutely incredible lineup of Omnium, Moonspell, Dark Tranquility, and Amorphis. So to see you doing your thing on Omnium makes me so happy, and Finland definitely does not have the ability to do anything wrong in metal. As for a previous song? Gods Go First and the whole Burning Cold album. Great video as always, bud!

Great reaction as usual... Some of my favs from these guys worth checking out are... "The Unknowing", "New World Shadows", "Son's Thoughts", "Greeneyes", "Over the Battlefield", and about a dozen others...

I‘m pretty sure that Markus drove his own car in the video. He knows alot about cars… and how to shred the guitar. My hero! Thank you for showing us your true emotions in each reaction- you‘re so natural and enthusiastic. Love it!!

Before The Dawn - The final storm. I bet you love IT.

Very cool ...... man a another great band that I found here 1st....

I already pre-ordered the album. Based on this song I'm expecting it to be awesome!

Yeah dude. Omnium gatherum hit differently. Them, insomnium, be’lakor the absolute kings of melo death

The great thing about discovering Omnium Gatherum is, they have an extensive discography going way back, full of epic uplifting choruses, and its safe to say they are probably recording a new one as we speak (even though they are doing a tour very soon) they are one of the most hard working metal bands around, and i had the pleasure of meeting them (and a good chat with Markus) after a gig in Sydney 2 years ago, a great bunch of dudes! Even tho i have been familiar with them for a few years now, my first reaction when hearing this song, was very similar to yours 😁

Been a fan of these guys since before 2007s stuck here on snakes way. Absolutely my fav band! Just amazing live too, which really made me respect them that much more!

Dude. Omnium Gatherum is so fucking good. One of my favorite melodeath bands for sure. Definitely check out some of their older stuff. They have a good relationship with Insomnium (as you saw with the guitarist). But yeah they're pretty big in the melodeath scene. I was kinda surprised when I heard you say you had never heard them before at the beginning of this video. You're in for a treat when you check out more of their stuff.

Glad to see you checking out this awesome band! Omniun Gatherum + Isomnium is perfect combo (just like Wintersun + Whispered)! By the way you should really check out Whispered (genre: black metal, melodic death metal + folk metal with traditional japanese instruments and samurai theme. Good songs from them sakura omen, strike and jikininki). Some people call Whispered samurai version of Wintersun :D.

Oh dang! Almost forgot about this band. Ill be sure to see what they´ve been up to the last 10 years after this! While im thinking about it, i think i´ve seen these guys live at Sabaton Open Air. Not sure thought, i might have been a tad drunk.

Hi Tank. Awesome to see that you're still reacting to some legendary finnish metal bands, even though I thought it was pretty much the end after Nightwish wednesdays ended (I really miss those, still so much Nightwish stuff you could/should have reacted to..). Omnium Gatherum is one of my top 10 bands too, this new single is awesome! Almost as good as Frontiers, my favorite song from them so far. Please react to it, you won't be disappointed. :)

React to more of their songs! They are so awesome!

Sick effin guitarsound!!

Thxs for reacting to this epic band Tank!! 😎🤘🍻 I have a "request" for you to react maybe or just for your listening pleasure. There's a band from Finland called Mors Subita, they are a really overlooked metal band, they are a hidden gem that I'm 200% will be on your playlists. I remember how shocked you were when discovering Orbit Culture, this band may or not be Orbit Culture good, but I swear you will dug it. If you don't react to them it's, I just want to share them with you as a little payback of all the good times I've had with your channel. If you may want to react to them "As humanity weeps" it's a banger and one of their most famous songs. I discovered thanks to A&P Reacts (they love them and are friends with them 😉) . Keep it up your channel always always rocks!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

Great video as always Tank. I’m gonna suggest Majestica - Metal United. It's a fun song with some great guitar solos. Lead singer/guitarist is Tommy Johansson from Sabaton. It's a good time. Until next vid. ✌️🏽

Well, you’re in for a treat with this band. I’ve been following them since their very first album, and they’re one of my favorites. And, in my opinion, one of the classiest, most inspired melodeath bands out there, and I’m so glad that they are finally getting some recognition. And like you said at some point, the have a very uplifting vibe to them, which is a fresh change from a lot of metal bands. That being said, this particular song left me with a bit of a « meh » aftertaste. It’s a good song, but they can do so much better. It feels a bit « classic Omnium » to me, not as adventurous as what they usually produce. But I think it’s a great way to start, since it’s really representative of their style. Honestly, go ahead and listen to their whole discography, there isn’t a single bad album. I would recommend maybe starting with « The Redshift » album, which is in the middle of their discography, and to me is a perfect sum up of what they can do.

Insomnium Gatherum is no joke lol really tho they even made a shirt with that name for a tour. Amazing band unknowing is my favorite. you still need to check out SOJOURNER - The Deluge

I'm a huuuuuuge fan of Finnish Melo Death Specifically and I'm probably one of those who wanted you to check them out.

Pls check out Equilibrium: Blut im Auge. Its an "old" Song from 2008 but very great and one of the best German Bands

Would love to see some In Mourning love great band

Metal and drag racing muscle cars...beautiful.

Such a great band. Crazy you haven’t stumbled upon them yet, especially because they share members with Insomnium. New World Shadows is my personal favorite from them, followed by Beyond.

They had some pretty unique melodys in their songs, but all of these don't have that much views: Deathwhite, Drudgery, Everfields (all older songs)! But in my opinion greater and more intense Finish Melodic Death Metal is: Mors Principium Est! Their album The Unborn [2005] blew my mind and opened my vision for this kind of music!

If you want a nice shot of Beautiful Finnish Melodeath, give "Beyond" from O.G. a spin. From it you can find videos on youtube for "The Unknowing" and "Formidable".

Funny enough, those are the weakest songs on the album. They have weird habbit of making MVs for the weakest songs on the album, hard to say why but it's always the case.

Amazing Melod-Death, I love the whole Album. Sometimes even Atmospheric and almost calming if that makes any sense :D May I suggest the Song/Video to the Song Falleg by Nawather? Super cool Oriental Metal 🙌

under your first wintersun video i suggested Insomnium, omnium gatherum and cypecore. you definitely should check them out (i dont know about any new stuff of them, but you have the streams now ). Cypecore is german melodic death metal band i absolutely love

Wow, what a beautiful song, it actually made me cry. Sounds like a song that metal heads would hear when they die and go to Valhalla.

On Insomnium live stream late last year Markus "van Hala" Vanhala played Evh signature guitars, instead his usual Jackson Vs, hence the nickname from fans. Some say hes underrated, but seems like he is starting to get deserved recognition. Anyway, on OG, waiting on a new album from older material on my taste are faster songs like Frontiers and Gods Go First, and as slower almost ballad like The Unknowing with outstanding riff.

They're a great band live. I highly recommend going next time they're stateside.

Awesome stuff. You really need to listen to some Orden Organ. Especially given your current rabbit hole of German bands. Pretty sure you would enjoy "FEVER". :)

I really think you'd like Living in Me by Omnium Gatherum, my favorite song

Great band!!!

Tank, I'd like to recommend a band called The Offering with their song Ultraviolence. That's like listening to many subgenres of metal at once with the vocalist having like no limits regarding singing styles.

Yep! Another Legend of a band, formed in 1996! Have followed them from The first demo! 🙂 NOW Tank it's time for some Marianas Rest! Same Country, same Town, same freakin' keyboard player! 😁

"This has some Insomnium influence for sure" oh.. thats why..

OG! go guys!

definitely recommend doing a throwback and checking out something from their album "Stuck Here on Snake Way" - which definitely SEEMS like a Dragonball Z refrence, tho the album as a whole doesn't seem to come across that way. classic melodic death metal. Probably like, "The Third Flame" or "Into Sea". If you can get a version w/ The Snake and the Way + Into Sea (tracks 1 and 2), that'd be best

i just love Reckoning

Whole New world Shadows and Beyond are phenomenal as albums go form OG.

Crazy I’ve been listening to this band since “Spirits…”

Ok Tank, it's time. Taken from Seven Spires website: "Seven Spires is an American metal quartet specializing in melancholic tales and tenebrous grandeur. Part bittersweet melodic metal anthems, part apocalyptic melodic death and black metal, and part Romantic Classical poets, they are storytellers who draw from across the traditional spectrum of metal and beyond to weave tragedies of demons, death, love, and the peculiarities of human condition. The band met while studying at the world renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, so we need not spend much time going on about their musical capabilities, but needless to say, the band’s musicianship is in keeping with the metal tradition of tireless work to be the best at your craft. The band’s sophomore album, “Emerald Seas", released in February 2020, was a highly emotional, dark, and theatrical listening experience. The band, as with their debut, collaborated with Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica, etc), who mixed and mastered the album." They were planning a tour last year that got cancelled after the first show with Omnium Gatherum and Insomnium. Thier most recent album (16 songs long and continues the story of the previous 2 albums) just released today.
