I know, very few albums deserve the rating you can see on the left, but trust me, I could only think of two or three more that would. Omnium Gatherum have showed me another dimension of metal music that is both strange and awesome. New World Shadows cannot be compared to other bands or albums. Of course I could name a few out of the melodic death and gothenburg genre, but even if I would, one could not even think of how this record sounds like. People have to listen to it, there is no other way to explain the music, since it is that complex and original. Hailing from Finland, Omnium Gatherum created their final breakthrough with New World Shadows, a nine-song album that runs for about 52 minutes.

Rating: 8 One of the very few melodeath bands I still enjoy listening to. While the album isn't close to being a masterpiece, it's still worth spending 50 minutes to listen to.

Rating: 9 A pretty great album and certainly better than most melodeath you hear nowadays

  I've heard this a number of times throughout last year but every time I put it on it still leaves me cold.
Listening to it now hasn't changed that, still can't get into it, it just sounds like it's missing something.. though I don't know what.

Rating: 10 It's their best album since 'Spirits and August Light'. It's been over a year and I'm still listening to 'NWS' fairly regularly.

Rating: 10 I sought something that could match Insomnium's "One For Sorrow" and I found it in this album. A masterpiece.
