Metal Anarchy

Omnium Gatherum have released a new song titled “Moongold.” The track was recorded during the “May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way” sessions.

Frontman Jukka Pelkonen commented:

“‘Moongold’ follows the overall style of the album. It’s fast and full of energy, and while the song is somewhat stripped down, its layers start to reveal themselves after a few listens. ‘Moongold’ is one of my favorites from these sessions, and I really hope it will make its way into our setlist in the future – after all, this song was written specifically with live performance in mind.”

Guitarist Markus Vanhala added:

“‘Moongold’ was originally released as an ‘Eastern wonder,’ meaning a Japan-exclusive around the time the album came out. In the end, we decided to leave it off the album itself, as it didn’t quite fit the overall flow and we wanted the record to be a short, sharp burst of aggression. That said, the song stands very strong on its own as a melodic death metal anthem and is pure OG – perhaps a slightly more old-school version. And now, here it is, served to you and to your loved one, for these moonlit afternoons The calendar is full – just the way it suits us, and there’s more to come. It fits a band whose core is that of an honest, sweaty live machine.”
