Now before you all think, "Oh god, not another melodeath fan who thinks that every new melodeath record is the greatest one there ever was and will be... much like the city of Qarth" I ask that you all hear me out as I truly believe that this album is exceptional and enough time has passed that, if I once was, I am no longer caught up in the hype that typically follows the release of every melodeath album.

I've been listening to Omnium Gatherum for a while and I like their stuff. Surely there's enough energy in their music to keep you going and the band seem to know what they're doing with their music, but let's face it; they're missing something, besides originality of course. Beyond follows the same formula as New World Shadows and it certainly seems compelling for the ears, but terrible for the brain. The inconsistency is far too great for the musicianship or the performance to maintain a proper balance. The album has some decent moments and the catchy melodies are brilliant and dynamic but in the end, they all sound bland and uninspiring. What you're left with is a bunch of good songs with little to offer and a couple of fillers by the time you reach the hour mark. Even the bonus track "Subdivisions" comes out as a song that's a little hard to digest, although it could've made Rush proud. Read more ›› |

I doubt it will be out before New Year's, they're just demoing some stuff right now. Pretty much a two-year cycle here.

The samples sounds promising, and as I thought and hoped for: In the veins of New World Shadows.

This is going to be a fantastic release, the samples sound great. New World Shadows was also a brilliant album. Going in my top 10 of 2013 easily.

Made my top 1 for 2013. Pre-ordered the day I heard 'The Unknowing' for the first time.

Posts: 1122 Written by JÄY on 21.02.2013 at 23:43 What? I don't even... When it comes to Nightwalkers at least, it's my favourite song on the album. White Palace is a lot moodier, goes as far as reminding me of Enslaved's latest. Still very good though.

Posts: 1567 Written by Risto on 21.02.2013 at 23:49 A lot more people will probably share your opinion..... I like OG straight-forward stuff more than the slow and drawn out songs. I find myself forgetting I'm even listening to music and when the song ends i realize i didnt even really hear it :/

I've listened to the crap quality leak enough to realise that my favourite track's 'Formidable' but 'Nightwalkers' is up there with it. 'White Palace' takes a bit to get going but when it does at about the halfway stage it's absolutely majestic.

I like it. Band knows what the fuck they are doing. Along with Fractal Gates, melodeth has received a shot in the arm...

Wow what a huge surprise! Favorite track is Formidable so far. Very reminiscent of Noumena to me, but might just be the vocal style. And definitely different than New World Shadows as far as melody progression. Love it!

As I expected, an excellent release. Definitely the best album I've heard this year so far.
