Shredding solos, anthemic harmonies, and crushing rhythm guitar range from old school speed thrash to 18th century classical. Double kick thrash beats haul ass throughout combined with off time jazz elements punctuated with inventive rolls and blast beats.
"It's safe to say featured band Omega Crom blew away everyone in the room, being far more intense and unique than anything experienced at the bigger show just prior. A heavy thrash / black metal amalgamation, these guys are ones to watch for." - Edmonton Sun
"Not afraid to play guitar or sing. Omega Crom were tight and very professional. They had excellent stage presence and actually announced their songs and interacted with the crowd. They had cool spoken word intros, lots of atmosphere created by interesting song arrangements and tempo changes. They were crushingly heavy and fast with tons of ripping solos, but the highlight was the vocals". � Metal-Rules.com
"Just a phenomenal vocalist. That, in conjunction with the band's overall matured, seasoned sense of confidence, amazing, energetic stage presence, and flawless tightness resulted in a performance that no-one in the room could ignore.' - MetalEater.com
