The first two-thirds of The Burning Cold deliver all that a fan of the band could want. Big riffs, big moods, epic-sized moments and enough aggression and heaviness to keep the death in the melo-death. “Rest in Your Heart” is the most “modern” song, sounding a lot like “Skyline” from Grey Heavens, but rather than feeling like forced innovation, it makes sense here and manages to stick the landing. Some of the guitars and keyboards on “The Fearless Entity” would be right at home on the latest Night Flight Orchestra album as they bear a distinct 80s flavor, and there are even some traces of Scar Symmetry in the writing. It’s the album’s final act that leaves me a bit less enthused, with “Planet Scale” providing anthemic riffing but failing to fully grab me, and closer “Cold” delivering moody sadboy fare but in a slightly less enthralling way. At 51-plus minutes, chopping one or both of these cuts would have elevated the overall package considerably, but the final product is still a major return to form.
The band took pains to dial-up the urgency this time out, which makes for a more dynamic and engaging listen than the last platter. Markus Vanhala and Joonas Koto bring the thunder with vibrant riffing and all manner of slick harmonies and soaring solos. Keyboardist Aapo Koivisto adds the extra layer of melody, but doesn’t often attempt to upstage or overwhelm the guitars or turn things into a cheddar-fest or disco club. Jukka Pelkonen does his utmost to keep things heavy at all times with his tooth-rattling roars. There are a few scattered clean vocals (unsure who provides them), and they add something to the mix making me wish there were more of them, but I love Jukka’s vocals and he does a fine job.
After a few weeks spinning The Burning Cold, it’s clear Omnium Gatherum still have what it takes to deliver a crushing melo-death platter. This is a superior album to Grey Heavens and sees the band back in the fight to rule the genre, hopefully for a long time to come. Fans of melo-death, take note and act accordingly.
