I dig his vocals too, clean or growl doesn’t matter. I think he fits well – even more so now than on the last album.

Jukka was a singer on last year’s Stuck Here On Snake’s Way and that album was pretty solid too. I think it’s their former vocalist that many find difficulty listening to. On the other hand, I heard a lot of complaints concerning Jukka as well. Some people think he’s got a disgusting voice. I absolutely disagree with them ’cause this guy sounds so unique!

Thats good to hear about the vocals, cause like others have said, they’re whats really held me back in the past from getting into these guys, and the “gothenburg” style of swedish death is my fav type of shit.

Jukka Pelkonen sounds SO much better on this album than on the last one. He really sounds Swano-ish. Not alike because let’s face it, no one can sing/growl like him, but an agreeable facsimile. The only thing holding back Omnium Gatherum was the vocals, but now they can become a respected player in the overcrowded melodeath sweepstakes.

I dig this band and the album a lot. These guys are one of those few that do stand out in the over-crowded melodic death scene.

I’ll have to give this a few more listens with all of the praise I have heard about this album. I hate the vocals and always have. I really think they prevent this band from being one of the elite of the genre.

I’ve heard mixed reviews on this band for a long time, but I think it might be time to check them out. The Dark Tranquillity comparisons have always been what caught my eye. I’m a big DT fan but they’ve been on auto-pilot since Damage Done (magnum opus IMO) and I’ve been looking for a new melo-death fix. I thought Detonation were going to take that place, but Emission Phase was a real snoozer.

You don’t his cleans Erik? I love that shit. It’s so Swano-esque, and I love that dudes voice. Edge of Sanity rules my face!

Definitely a return to form of Spirits and August light.
I didnt care for Jukka Pelkonen’s clean vocals though

The album hits streets here in the states today, by the way.
