成军于1996年的OMNIUM GATHERUM堪称芬兰旋死的旗帜乐队，作为芬兰旋律死亡金属中最具前卫气质的军团，OG在迄今为止二十年的职业生涯中展示的是一场包罗万象的金属盛宴。其作品可以说是集合了北欧式旋律死亡金属的方方面面，你既可以听到哥德堡之声气质的早期作品，同时其中后期作品也令一众前卫乐迷大呼精彩。从凶猛爆裂的处子作品《Spirits And August Light》到转型过渡的探索之作《Stuck Here on Snakes Way》，OG一步步走向旋律死亡金属的一线阵容，而凭借经典的转型之作《The Redshift》，OG更是一跃成为北欧旋律死亡金属的标杆象征。其后两张史诗级别的极端金属杰作《New World Shadows》与《Beyond》更是完整地建立起OG自己的旋死谱系，而与乐界前辈Nile以及Grave这样大牌乐队的巡演历练也使得OG的气场更为强大。二十年来，OG以丝毫不输给哥德堡之声的凶猛与代表芬兰独特气质的美妙旋律重新定义了旋律死亡金属在不断变化之中的实质精髓。2016年的最新专辑《Grey Heavens》的意义不仅仅是接受所有旋律死亡金属乐迷的顶礼膜拜，更以浓缩了这一风格全部精华的方式集结着所有乐迷。无论是回忆它的黄金岁月，还是期盼它未来的无穷前景，聆听他们都代表了对这一风格的热爱。

同样深受哥德堡之声影响的另一支芬兰旋死强团MORS PRINCIPIUM EST也一直在中国有着有口皆碑的影响力，尤其是在那些“伪旋死”堂而皇之大行其道的时候，MPE在资深旋死乐迷中的备受赞扬便显得更为可贵。成军于1999年的MPE从一开始就显露出与绝大多数芬兰乐队所不同的气质，他们更偏向于邻国瑞典的哥德堡之声，同时也更具有Thrash式的凶猛鞭击力度。从首张专辑《Inhumanity》中凶残音浪背后的黑金属气息到强调芬兰式朦胧感的《Unborn》，MPE的探索一直令人十分惊讶，而扬名立万的经典作品《Liberation = Termination》则表明他们已经将旋死泛滥时代绝大多数克隆乐队远远抛在了身后。最新专辑《Dawn of the 5th Era》的大气恢弘证明他们的实力不仅已然稳坐正统旋死的一线地位，同时也令乐迷对其再度超越自我态度给予最大程度的敬意。

2016年的盛夏，赫尔辛基音乐节开启OG与MPE首度联合降临中国，举办声势浩大的三城巡演，在旋律死亡金属诞生二十多年后的今天，在老乐团纷纷淡出而新式风格层出不穷的今天，芬兰军团OG与MPE将用最纯正的旋律死亡音浪带来那个辉煌年代最强烈的声音！

OMNIUM GATHERUM + MORS PRINCIPIUM EST

OMNIUM GATHERUM

From the northern regions of the globe, from Finland, comes Omnium Gatherum a melodic death group of crazy six known for its fierce live shows and the fresh ingenious sound. Brutal,aggressive, highly melodic and catchy but still maintaining the sophisticated originality the band is known for!

Omnium Gatherum is pushing their music ever forward to challenge the marking trend and still respect the heritage of the genre - to mix something new into the maintaining feeling of quality melodic death metal. The thing about Omnium Gatherum is that whilst making albums and touring around the world the guys have kept the pack together and keep on delivering outstanding live performances to audiences around the world. OG is its members and more - there is a real feeling of a family and unity within the group that is why the band is so alive.This is truly like a natural phenomenon which keeps on growing.

The just released new album 'Grey Heavens' has blown both fans and critics away. Charted to 2nd position in national album chart of their home country Finland, awarded 'album of the month' for example in Metal Hammer and in many other medias and getting maximum rates in reviews around the world, means the album is getting more and more known throughout the metal scene. There is no stopping the moving train and OG just started touring the world again to promote this masterpiece. With the previous "Beyond" album world tour the band conquered 3 continents and played approximately 150 gigs in support for the album. More is more.

20 years and 7 albums under their belt the band have finally slowly but surely risen to the top of the game in melodic death metal.

We love the ride and welcome everyone to join us!

MORS PRINCIPIUM EST

“Dawn Of The Fifth Era” is the fifth output of Melodic Death Metal band MORS PRINCIPIUM EST around vocalist Ville Viljanen.

Taking a look at the career of MORS PRINCIPIUM EST so far shows that the band easily attracted attention with each album. Already in the days of their debut “Inhumanity” (2003) critics were full of praise for the Finns, who still sounded fresh and made no secret of where their roots were. Comparisons to At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or even the fellow-countrymen Children Of Bodom were common, but MORS PRINCIPIUM EST have never been characterized as just a mere clone of the above mentioned. Even when the follow-up albums “The Unborn” (2005) and “Liberation=Termination” (2007) were released, the names of  the scene pioneers were always at hand, but rather to show that this upcoming band is on a par with them. This positive response from the press helped to build a loyal fan base and establish the band internationally.

Since 2007 the band had to deal with several line-up changes, which almost lead to their disbanding and were the reason for the long hiatus. Over the following years they tried out different musicians and combinations, clearly intending to not let things end this way. In 2011 they found Andy Gillion from United Kingdom and Andhe Chandler from New Zealand as their new guitarists (selected from over 200 applicants). With this new line-up they recorded their previous album "... and Death said live”(2012).

However, another line-up change happened: Andhe Chandler left the band and Kevin Verlay came in as their new guitarist.

Now, in 2014 the band returns extremely impressive: brute and tremendous riffs meet beautiful melodies, which were recorded, mixed and mastered at well-known Panic Room Studios in Sweden (Scar Symmetry, Solution.45, Watain).
