Omnium Gatherum release 'Walking Ghost Phase' from upcoming album • GRIMM Gent

As a last single before their new album, “May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way”, drops November 7^th Finnish melodic death metal stalwarts OMNIUM GATHERUM are releasing the 80s infused “Walking Ghost Phase” that comes with a visualizer video which can be watched here: https://youtu.be/AlXl1PT2X1Q

Jukka Pelkonen (vocals) about the song:

“’Walking Ghost Phase’ is about addiction in its many forms. It is about dullness defeating passion yet the addiction creating a fixation. It is a zombie-like state where one is forced to go through the destructive pattern repeatedly. Self-deception is one of the key topics in this song. How addiction lures one into thinking there is nothing wrong and then it consumes you. The title is a real term used when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster happened in the 80’s. There were workers exposed to heavy radiation who obviously got sick from it. After a while they seemed to be cured, but that was only a deception. Soon afterwards they just collapsed and passed away. That is why I linked the ‘Walking Ghost Phase’-state to the idea of addiction.”

Markus Vanhala (guitars) further comments:

“Here’s the third OG single down the road – called ‘Walking Ghost Phase’. This one represents the simpler, straight-forward banger side of the upcoming album, it is getting your heads banging and fists pumping. Really looking forward to playing this one live as it has a feel of an upcoming classic live anthem – luckily we have A LOT of shows coming up. Also fear not, there’s also gonna be some a bit more proggy or advanced stuff on the album. May the bridges we burn light the way!”
