EToS were one of my beloved melodic, atmospheric death metal bands back in the early 00s. Especially, after the amazing & their best (to date) album, “A Virgin and a Whore”, I was pretty sure that these guys were going to be huge. Unluckily, fate chose otherwise and they broke-up after a couple of years. Still, that album didn’t get the exposure and the publicity it deserved. I keep coming back to this CD even to this day and I still enjoy it as the first time. Superb work by any means.

I’ve been looking for something new. Not just a new band that sounds like some other band that I can name off the top of my head, something that is truly its own genre. Needless to say, I think “Kore” by the Italian group Dperd is just that. Their simple, yet epic sound makes for some very intriguing atmospheres and soundscapes that seem to send you on a journey through your mind.
I decided to check out this album, when I heard and read quite a few amazing things about it. Some people like to exaggerate by their nature, others for they’ve got something to gain and a few cuz’ the first two say so! That’s how the story goes on and on.
In any case, Omnium Gatherum are more than 15 years around so they do serve that melodic death metal genre in their way. Of course, all these bands that came right after the mid-90s all wanted to become Amorphis No2. The band they came closest to was/is Insomnium. Definitely, the common thing among those bands is that they are all coming from Finland. It’s something in the weather… I f I may!
