Italian death/thrashers OMNIVORE have posted a promo video for the song „I Hope the War Comes” off their upcoming self-titled debut album. Brimming with old-school trash excellence, the track is currently kicking asses at this location.
Like their name suggests, OMNIVORE are equal-opportunity devourers. Their raging full-length shows that they clearly consumed old death/thrash acts from Europe and the U.S. – think Massacra, Merciless, and Sadus – as well as the more-familiar Bay Area bands, represented here by the use of gang vocals, some melodic lead parts, and even a startlingly well-played acoustic passage. Of course, one of their biggest influences is revealed by the hidden bonus track at the end, a cover song that implores you to „Arise!”
Omnivore is set for release on February 18 via Unspeakable Axe Records.
Hailing from Varese and spawned in 2011 from the ashes of Nightmare Of Fallen, Omnivore is already a project on hold. The band’s lone album (so far at least) is going to burn down villages and consume the fleeing villagers.
