Omnium Gatherum is a progressive melodic death metal band founded in Karhula, Finland in 1996. It has many directions and styles, some of them clearly visible while others more unseen.

, with a lyrical concept not very often seen in the world of metal - that is, academically twisted old school tell-a-tale folk singer attitude with a small amount of mystic poetry hidden somewhere between the lines.
Note: Gatherum Castle is the seat of the Duke of Omnium in the 'Palliser' series of novels by Anthony Trollope.
