OMEGA INFINITY are an International cosmic black metal band of  epic proportions. . In 2020, OMEGA INFINITY flew us to the stars with their unique debut "SOLAR SPECTRE". 

Here in 2023, ITP V.023 has OMEGA INFINITY'S new release "THE ANTICURRENT", stock full of crusty darkness and malignant industrial excursions.

 OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" kicks off with "THE ALPHA" and my goodness, the track features staccato riffs, a droning piano, blastbeats and an over all avant garde feel. Lyrical vocals are featured within two minutes of "THE ALPHA" as the track ends in beautiful ambience. . 

 OMEGA INFINITY'S "CREATION" is a striking black metal opus featuring blazing speed, blastbeats and screamed, blackened  vocals. "CREATION" changes tempo with a rock beat and lights synths. 

OMEGA INFINITY'S  "IRON AGE" features a distinctive riff  set to a mid pace. XENOYR's vocals echo in chants through the darkness of the cosmos. A softer transition leads to gorgeous female vocals as "IRON AGE" segues into a duet and speeds off on a plane of blastbeats devilish blackened vocals. 

 OMEGA INFINITY'S ."BANISH US FROM EDEN" features a crusty, minimalist, malevolent atmosphere backed by sinister piano.Blastbeats compliment  "BANISH US FROM EDEN" frenetic heartbeat. 

 OMEGA INFINITY'S "TO THE STARS" experiments with industrial as synths segues into the rhythm guitar riffs uplifting into outer space."TO THE STARS" features a long excursion of a softer kind before the blastbeats come in with light post rock riffing. 

 OMEGA INFINITY'S  "DEATH RAYS" (featuring LINDSEY SCHOOLCRAFT) is a majestic track with definitive melodic, riffing. LINDSEY SCHOOLCRAFT's spoken word is featured  in the first minute of  "DEATH RAYS". 

 OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" closes with "VOICES FROM THE END OF TIME" blasts into oblivion with chanted vocals, blastbeats, a softer segue and light dramatic piano. Later, "VOICES FROM THE END OF TIME" reverts to experimentation as it sets a truly horrifying atmosphere.

 OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" employs atmospheric black metal intoa clauldson of searing brutality. 

OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" has a flair for both the dramatic and vaant gaurde. 

OMEGA INFINITY employ electronics and industrial tones in a progressive fashion, so the record does get weird. OMEGA INFINITY balance out their experimentation with the chaos of utter darkness and brutality and also post rock riffs. 

.OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" can be accessible within the duet featured on "IRON AGE."

  OMEGA INFINITY'S "THE ANTICURRENT" isn't for the faint of heart, there is experimentation in utter brutality and light in utter darkness. 

To the COSMOS OMEGA INFINITY',
