Omnium Gatherum want you to meet ‘The Last Hero’

One of Finland-s most active metal exports, Omnium Gatherum, are thrilled to present “The Last Hero,” their latest single and video that is also the first from their upcoming album, May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way, which is due for release later this year.

The video was directed by their long-time partner Jari Heino with additional footage filmed by Brendan McGowan.

Guitarist Markus Vanhala says, 

“‘The Last Hero’ gives a great preview of the new album, promising more force and groove than the previous one. It’s a powerful OG anthem about an old-school street hero who never gives up and who keeps on fighting for the sake of fighting. This relentless attitude, while admirable, also means missing out on seeing and solving situations beyond the immediate fight. It’s a theme that is easily reflected in our modern lives.”

Vocalist Jukka Pelkonen shares, 

“‘The Last Hero’ is a fast-paced, straightforward, melodic, and aggressive song with a catchy chorus. It’s a powerful track that really packs a punch. Lyrically, it tells the story of a person who, for better or worse, never gives up.”

These dedicated road dogs recently finalized a successful Australian tour alongside Insomnium and already have their next European tour scheduled for February and March of 2026. Support will come from U.S. progressive death metal outfit Fallujah and Swedish melodic death metal band In Mourning.
