Sadistic bastards that we are, we published three different glowing reviews of Beyond, the forthcoming album by Finland’s Omnium Gatherum, months before the album’s scheduled release dates (Feb 25 in Europe and Mar 5 in the U.S.). We had no music we could share with you then, but Omnium Gatherum eventually started streaming one of the album’s numerous stand-out tracks, “New Dynamic” (which you can hear at this location). And as of this morning Metal Hammer premiered an official video for a second one — “The Unknowing”.
In addition, the same song is now available on iTunes.
The imagery in this new video was an inspired choice as accompaniment for the music. Along with close-up film of the band performing the song, it depicts the majesty, power, and sublime beauty of a sunlit coastal sea from dawn until dusk. And that pretty much captures the spirit of the song — majestic, powerful, beautiful. It’s one of many tracks from the album that I’ve already put on our list of candidates for our list of 2013’s most infectious extreme metal songs.
Check out the video after the jump, and give thanks to Olli-Pekka Lappalainen, who directed and edited the video, and to director of photography, Tapio Aulu.

I love you for bringing this band to my attention, but I kind of hate you for tormenting me with it in December when I can’t get it until March.
Do me a favor and write something up again when this actually comes out in March in the US? Because I’ll have forgotten about it by then.
Okie dokie. I’ll just have to find someone to remind me to remind you. Maybe you could remind me to remind you?
Imagine the album art and release date screen printed on the front of Phro’s underwear.
You’re not going to forget now, are you?
Oh, God, neither am I. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD….
What makes you think Phro even wears underwear?
I thought the Baby Metal Tshirt pic made it pretty clear that he does not.
21. of March, cannot fukken wait to headbang to Beyond in the front row again!
