“The Last Hero” has been launched as the first single from Omnium Gatherum‘s tenth studio album “May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way“. The Finnish melodic death metal band will have that record out on Century Media later this year, with the specific details still being kept under wraps
Jari Heino was once again recruited by the group to helm the visual component that accompanies this new track. Guitarist Markus Vanhala weighed in on the song:
“‘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 added:
“‘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.”
