Nice to see that OmG are staying true to their roots. We don't need pop rock like In Flames make now a days, we need more of the same so that we can collect and save all these epic songs.
+Rekumalacono while i agree with the fact that Omnium were/are/and will stay true to their roots, i can't deny it does sound like Only for the Weak during the verses.
i've started listening to melodic death metal much more recently, because i get to have brutal vocals, lyrics that aren't vicious like most death metal, and the music itself is enjoyable like your hard rock and heavy metal, yet much more hardcore.

OG is the only MDM band that keeps moving forward in such a narrow genre without trading off. Great. Great guys! Keep it up! Cant wait till the new record and european tour!
"Grey Heavens" est un très bon album qui s'apprécie sans grande difficulté. Certains diront que la bande à Markus stagne depuis quelques temps maintenant et qu'elle n'a plus rien à proposer de concret. Mais je dirais qu'Omnium Gatherum a cette faculté de ne pas s'égarer et de rester fidèle à lui-même, en améliorant constamment son son : il renouvelle ses mélodies, propose des atmosphères qui apportent un coup de frais et nous embarque dans un autre monde sans avoir à utiliser des gadgets en tout genre. Une belle offrande, donc, pour ce début d'année.
Wait what? How? I was listening to this to try to determine if I wanna get the album but like... you're saying the album version is different from this??? Because I'm not digging this. But the opening song RIPS SO HARD. Might be the heaviest track I've heard from them so far.
I believe no one's noticed that the main "chug" riff is borrowed from Amon Amarth's Victorius March. No matter, because both songs rule! Awesome keyboard part, too.
+Morfeus Dan Swanö don't make sound from thin air. As I know he mastered this song (and perhaps the album). Don't know about the mixing (doupt it as it's more beneficial to do it in Finland or some other studio. But anyway. The sound is from the band. And I don's deny it sounds a bit In Flames. Although that is a praise (as old In Flames).
Lyrics ....lol I can't tolerate your sadness Cause it's me you're drowning I won't allow any happiness 'Cause every time you laugh, I feel so guilty "I blame the needs that you feed 'Cause selfish eyes would not see" Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak No need for sympathy, the misery that is me No need for sympathy, it's only for the weak On bleeding knees I accept my fate I've lost the ability to paint the clouds 'cause it's me you're draining I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day 'Cause every time you run, I fall behind "Far away is a place where I hide The truth that have to be locked away" And so I hear my voice again The tale of the bitter man, here I am Shake the silence and hear what it says The tranquil pride that become the
+Lorcan Ward Well, it won't be released until next year, so that doesn't count ;) The new Amorphis and Soilwork albums are well worth listening to though!
This track is out of this world. Everyone compares it to "Only for the Weak" by In Flames but it's way better than this latter. The atmosphere and the refrain are sublimely melancholic. Btw the "Only for the Weak" title would have perfectly fitted on this track instead of the In Flames' one.
Decent melo-death track, but doesn't have the same epic and progressive sound that songs on their past two albums had e.g. "Luoto", "Formiddable", "White Palace", "Everfields", "Deep Cold". Hopefully other tracks on the album have this sound, as I feel these aspects (also the use of reverb guitar) set Omnium Gatherum apart from the multitude of other melo-death bands
Really slow song, but still very Omnium Gatherum. Love it! Had no idea they had a new album in the works and found out in the middle of night at work! :D
Repeating a few riff are boring, they take a sweet riff and repeating it over and over again, and yes i agree with Winterwolf Panzerkampf it's so much like "Only For The Weak"!
Yeah, after a masterpiece Beyond album that had wonderful majestic stellar guitar-leads and the flight of thoughts, structures we got a new OG song: a friggin one-fifth quinte primitive most generic riff and 'happy groove" lead melody! Great fucken job, OG!
+MrSatanislav We need some songs like that as well. I simply loved the last two albums, they are special to me. But let's not be hasty, I kinda like this one but I do hope the rest of the album is more in the alley of the last two albums. This one would be great at concerts imo.
Bit slow and the beat is too uniform. Needs more of the unique atmosphere and stellar melodies that Beyond provided. Honestly this sounds a bit like they covered a pop song.
***** I get where you're coming from, Only For The Weak does have a similar rhythm and key progression, but it is more diverse and just much, much better than this song, which fails to stay in my head for more than 2 minutes.
Great song, I especially like Nyan cat's guest performance at 3:05
lmfao
+Jelle Houweling Haha you're right!
+Jelle Houweling Another Jelle spotted !
Fuck you man! There goes all the atmospheric feelings I was getting from that part of the song. :P
came back to report that I have finally experienced this song live and it was FANTASTIC
This gets better and better the more you listen to it.
This sounds more like In Flames than In Flames have ever sounded in the last 15 years.
+Sairaj R. Kamath also the intro sounds like cob. this song is like mix of all good stuff :)
Has In Flames ever sounded this good? :D
They sounded even better than this.
It sounds like In Flames because the riffs in this song are blatant ripoffs of Only for the Weak.
by far the best comment I've read this entire year
Skyline for the Weak
Hell yea/..... we ride Supras here
Kkkk
only for the Skyline ; )
only for a weak in flames.. skyline for a weak..
Great "happy" melodic death song. This band doesn't stop to mature since their first album which was great already.
officially the most hummable riff ever
This sound is perfect.....great work!!!
Nice to see that OmG are staying true to their roots. We don't need pop rock like In Flames make now a days, we need more of the same so that we can collect and save all these epic songs.
+Rekumalacono So true \m/
+Rekumalacono Funny you should say that considering this song is VERY similar to Only for the weak by In Flames
***** I disagree completely.
+Rekumalacono while i agree with the fact that Omnium were/are/and will stay true to their roots, i can't deny it does sound like Only for the Weak during the verses.
+Rekumalacono You must be tone deaf. It reeks of "Only For The Weak" by In Flames. It's undeniable.
i've started listening to melodic death metal much more recently, because i get to have brutal vocals, lyrics that aren't vicious like most death metal, and the music itself is enjoyable like your hard rock and heavy metal, yet much more hardcore.
Feb. 2016 .... feels like forever .... But I'm sure it will worth the wait!
+Tiborka666 getting there
Flare around the head
Or a part of the dead
A living seeing being
Full of variety
Heard the news to day
No more excuses
No path or a way
No futile words to say
Like a vision
Burns the skyline
No smoke no flames
In the skyline
Part of the shadow
Love is with dear light
Then they cease to be
And one is free
This is so beautiful, these guys are absolutely ingenious!!!!! Can`t wait for the album to come out!!!
Can a death metal song get anymore catchy than this? Brilliant! Guaranteed Omnium Gatherum for sure, yes! A must-buy-one.
At last got their song! Markus Vanhala u magic man! Always keeping everyone's mind puzzling through his guitar! Amazing track! :-)
Great tribute to In Flames!
Seeing these guys live in May. Stoked af!
I need this album like right now.
AMAZING AS ALWAYS!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM
The one time I leave the country and they freakin go and have a concert one block away from where I live. Whyyy
Lettace feelsbadman
If you don't like after first listen, keep listening it'll eventually happen for you. OGs music has some serious layers.
I heard live of this awesomeness in Kotka maritime festival 2015...It's SUUUUUUUuuuuuuper...!
Obra maestra. 03:41 suena mágico. GRACIAS, OMNIUM GATHERUM!
The guitar is on fleek
Awesome, cant wait for the album!!
Finally...something new from OG! Way cool..and well worth the wait! \m/
OG you guys always know how to rock it i love it that's why you are one of my favorite band looking forward for the new album
from the two songs that are released already, I can see this album becoming a classic
Sounds like old heavenly old school meldodic death... love the sounds
A powerful song.
Yes, it's like "only for the weak" , but it is a different song... and he is damn good ! \m/
OG is the only MDM band that keeps moving forward in such a narrow genre without trading off. Great. Great guys! Keep it up! Cant wait till the new record and european tour!
Андрей Полевой Not the only, actually. I suggest you to listen to Be'lakor too.
***** yeah, those australian guys are also awesome!
This track just made my week.
god i love this song
this is REALLY good.

this sounds like In Flames - Only For The Weak song... even the break on 3:40
but, still it's great song :)
Hell of a song, got to see this live few weeks after hearing it on here.
it reminds me so much «In Flames' only for the weak» so much!
I wonder if Dan Swano also did some vocals in one of the tracks on this albums :D Either way looking forward!
Yeah!!!! Psyched about the new album! I hope it can meet the bar set by New World Shadows. \m/
got to see them yesterday with insomnium great show. Mike bear and Nick cordle did a great job filling in
great song!
The intro/verse riff reminds me a lot of "only for the weak"
That's because it's a blatant rip off.
@@thenewfire no.
@@BetrayingLight Yep. Barely different.
I don't see Chicago on that tour... Please come,,,
Powerful guitar riffs!
it reminds me so much In Flames' «only for the weak» so much!
Esperando con ansia su nuevo álbum. El mejor grupo de melodic death metal, sin duda alguna.
Sounds comletely different than veresion on full album. Btw.. I love this song. These guitars are ...glorious. Thank you OG. Greets from Poland.
Wait what? How? I was listening to this to try to determine if I wanna get the album but like... you're saying the album version is different from this???
Because I'm not digging this. But the opening song RIPS SO HARD. Might be the heaviest track I've heard from them so far.
I'm loving it !
catchy as always ! you guys know how to put emotions on yourr songs. :3
Great song, great band, thank you.
I believe no one's noticed that the main "chug" riff is borrowed from Amon Amarth's Victorius March. No matter, because both songs rule! Awesome keyboard part, too.
saw them at the Agora ballroom last month. they blew me away!
03:04 sounds like kittens with red collars 'round their necks :D can't wait.
6sentient HAH! SO true! :)
+6sentient haha i wasnt the only who thought of cats when i heard it then
InFlamnium Gatherum?
No, Dan Swanö
+Morfeus
Dan Swanö don't make sound from thin air.
As I know he mastered this song (and perhaps the album).
Don't know about the mixing (doupt it as it's more beneficial to do it in Finland or some other studio.
But anyway. The sound is from the band. And I don's deny it sounds a bit In Flames. Although that is a praise (as old In Flames).
This voice is better.
Kskskk
Holy shit, it’s already 6 years... can’t believe...
This song is amazing !
Lyrics ....lol
I can't tolerate your sadness
Cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any happiness
'Cause every time you laugh, I feel so guilty
"I blame the needs that you feed
'Cause selfish eyes would not see"
Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beautiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave
Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
No need for sympathy, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate
I've lost the ability to paint the clouds
'cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day
'Cause every time you run, I fall behind
"Far away is a place where I hide
The truth that have to be locked away"
And so I hear my voice again
The tale of the bitter man, here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says
The tranquil pride that become the
sounds like old in flames i love it
This has been a bad year for new releases but this is awesome! Really looking forward to the album.
Lorcan Ward you should cover some of their songs ! :D
Lorcan Ward Check out Suphur Aeon's Gateway to the Antisphere (death metal) or Alkaloid - Malkuth Grimoire (extreme progressive).
+Lorcan Ward Well, it won't be released until next year, so that doesn't count ;)
The new Amorphis and Soilwork albums are well worth listening to though!

Sounds a bit like Only for the weak by In Flames
Winterwolf Panzerkampf It's better and more melodic death metal than Only For The Weak.
***** No its Not
Winterwolf Panzerkampf Exactly. The main riff sounds very similar, down to the variations. It's almost a homage.
Winterwolf Panzerkampf id have to listen to them back to back the vocals are so different it throws me off
Winterwolf Panzerkampf oh yea the guitar riff is very similar just a little less distortion?
Fucking awesome! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
that bridge... that solo
Great Song
cant wait
Great song.
I wasn't expecting that
This reminds me of Nightingale's last album a bit. Unsurprising that Dan Swano's involved. I'm digging it.
i fucking love this song! so glad i found it
Really slow song, but still very Omnium Gatherum. Love it! Had no idea they had a new album in the works and found out in the middle of night at work! :D
Love OG but would really love some heavier ones to go with the beautiful melodies that I know will be on the next release.
can´t wait!!!
remembers me so much to early In Flames!! sounds so fucking beatiful!!!
Repeating a few riff are boring, they take a sweet riff and repeating it over and over again, and yes i agree with Winterwolf Panzerkampf it's so much like "Only For The Weak"!
The iTunes link is only a preorder, is that right? "Avaible here" suggests, you know, avaible ;)
OG rule dammit! Reminds me of the goold old flames! Awesome!
awesome!!!!
Thou shall not deny thy influence, In Flames we trust! :))
In flames homage there
Espero un proximo " New World Shadows III " con todas mis fuerzas :D
Fucking hell I love the riffs
omni is the happiest melodeath band i know
Балдею с этой композиции
like a dream.
Vocal kick ass ! Muzak too... 👍🏼😎
あぁ＾～たまらねぇぜ
You know, when this song 1st popped up on my Pandora playlist, based on the sound alone; I was 98% sure it was Amon Amarth...
The best song! !! !I got him on the phone and ring ;)
Mahtava biisi!
Yeah, after a masterpiece Beyond album that had wonderful majestic stellar guitar-leads and the flight of thoughts, structures we got a new OG song: a friggin one-fifth quinte primitive most generic riff and 'happy groove" lead melody! Great fucken job, OG!
+MrSatanislav We need some songs like that as well. I simply loved the last two albums, they are special to me. But let's not be hasty, I kinda like this one but I do hope the rest of the album is more in the alley of the last two albums. This one would be great at concerts imo.
+MrSatanislav so bitter... appreciate the good dude.
there is no good or great band (ok the and has more than one album), who has not at least one really bad song or even album.
where i can find the lyrics ?
Oh fuck yeah.... Can't wait, cant wait can't wait!!!!!
I love their music, so fucking much
lyrics please?
sooooo good dammmmm......\m/\m/
Now I know where Parkway Drive got their inspiration for "Glitch" from. The riff in the beginning of both songs sounds...similar. :)
you guys should tour up with in flames
In The Skyline!!!!!
Bit slow and the beat is too uniform. Needs more of the unique atmosphere and stellar melodies that Beyond provided. Honestly this sounds a bit like they covered a pop song.
***** I get where you're coming from, Only For The Weak does have a similar rhythm and key progression, but it is more diverse and just much, much better than this song, which fails to stay in my head for more than 2 minutes.
+McShine the main melody is still really good.
+McShine I find this to be one of the best songs on the album... which is a brilliant masterpiece just like their previous 2 albums
Dude you're so right. The riff sounds like "Blue" by Eiffel65 to me.
Not bad!
