For the last few years, there have been bands popping up all across the world that sometimes defy classification and just play straight metal. Oftentimes, a band will make a very complex sound that makes it hard to pin down but it’s the opposite in the case of Omega Diatribe. These guys have been showing the world the modern state of metal in one of its most welcomed forms. It’s heavy, dynamic, and the band’s talent has come to a peak with their newest record.

Easily, my favorite thing about this group is how they can remain flashy without showing off and relying on their heaviness as well as their sheer talent to really do the talking. The near hour-long span that “Trinity” encompasses is nothing revolutionary when it comes to the performance of metal, but there’s no denying that the sound itself is very modern to the core yet not afraid to have its own individual sound as opposed to just becoming a part of the global cookie-cutter band population. Omega Diatribe has always excelled at having a solid diversity between songs in all of their albums while still having a strict core of metal that still allows for plenty of different approaches to different songs that really allowed “Trinity” to breathe and feel as organic as it does. Everything’s constantly shifting, and even though the flow can feel a tad clunky at times, everything about “Trinity” comes together incredibly well. Omega Diatribe are far from newcomers at this point, and this record truly shows how they’ve grown as a unit, and that single-handedly led to the creation of this record which is easily their penultimate record thus far.

Labeling a band as “modern” in the world of metal can oftentimes turn people away because many metalheads lean towards the classic-sounding material, but I implore to think differently with “Trinity”. It’s a very pleasant record that takes a lot from a lot of sources in the world of metal to make it as dynamic as it is, and adding the talent behind Omega Diatribe only further increases the flavor found in these twelve tracks.
