Omnivide, a progressive metal band formed in 2020, is on the cusp of releasing their debut album, “A Tale of Fire,” in March 2024. Comprising members with diverse musical influences, the band aimed to create a unique blend of progressive, death, and symphonic metal. The album is a musical journey, alternating between intense heaviness and beautiful, emotional sections. Omnivide seeks to offer listeners a complete experience, combining excitement, energy, and contrasting emotions throughout the album. The third single âCosmic Convergenceâ takes the listener to the end of days, which the band explains in further detail:
âLyrically, this song is about the Big Crunch, the opposite of the Big Bang, when astrophysicists predict that the universe will stop expanding and instead collapse on itself back to a single, infinitely small and dense point of matter. The lyrics describe this process in a poetic way in the first section of the song, with the final chorus shifting perspectives from that of the universe itself to a single human witnessing this process, with the lines âOne final cry/Begging not to die/As all we are is swallowed by starsâ.â
âCosmic Convergenceâ was written by Samuel Frenette and is composed of some fast and technical riffs, some more straightforward, but all very melodic with heavy layers of orchestration, and a lot of clean vocals compared to most songs on the album. This song is extremely high-octane in a melancholic and epic way, that tries to communicate the sense of desperation and urgency of the lyrics, with the song being about the end of the universe.
Dark melodies, groovy punches, distorted chord progressions, screaming vocals, and melodic guitar solos are the key elements in this apocalyptic and epic song. It is recommended for all prog fans, especially those with an interest in Obscura, Alkaloid, and Devin Townsend.
Watch and listen to âCosmic Convergenceâ via its lyric video premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.
