May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way (Vinyl) - By: Omnium Gatherum - Model Number: 19802961661

Description

Formed in 1996 in the coastal town of Karhula, Omnium Gatherum has long stood at the crossroads of traditional heavy metal, Gothenburg-style melodic death, and progressive finesse “ earning the tongue-in-cheek label Adult-Oriented Death Metal.

On "May the Bridges We Burn Light the Way", founding guitarist and chief songwriter Markus Vanhala (also in Insomnium, Cemetery Skyline) sought to capture the band™s full scope: catchy hooks, searing solos, thunderous rhythms, inventive keys, and vocals that shift between aggression and melody with ease.

The music was captured in various Finnish studios “ some in repurposed industrial spaces with a haunted stillness. Meanwhile, Jukka Pelkonen™s vocal sessions were tracked in Sweden with Bj¶rn ˜Speed™ Strid (Soilwork), who co-produced the vocals and lent his voice to the powerful gang shouts. For the gearheads, the vocal tracks were cut on the legendary SSL console used on Queen's "Innuendo", adding a touch of rock history to the powerful performance. And to round out the album's production, the band once again turned to Jens Bogren and Tony Lindgren from Sweden's renowned Fascination Street Studios for mixing and mastering. Running under 45 minutes, the record hits hard and moves fast “ zero filler, maximum impact.
