Vancouver, B.C. (Top40 Charts/ Reversed Records) - Trekking out to Alberta from their lair in Vancouver, B.C., the metal warriors of
Omega Crom (Reversed Records) will be conquering show dates in Edmonton Friday, November 13th at Rendez Vous (10108 149 St.) and in
Lethbridge Saturday, November 14th at Scores North Sports Bar & Grill (241 Stafford Drive North).
Recently completing their debut album "Blood, Steel & Fire" set to be released in early 2010, Omega Crom are offering an exclusive Limited Edition of the album to fans via their tour dates and pre sale at Reversed Records Online Store.
"We're looking forward to axing out these battle tunes of pure head bangin metal" says vocalist and guitarist Johnny K. "And we're offering those loyal to our legion to come out and get their limited edition of "Blood, Steel & Fire" and get the first listen."
"Blood, Steel and Fire" was produced by Juno award winning producer / engineer Rob Shallcross (Strapping Young Lad, Zimmers Hole, GWAR, Darkest Hour, Fattooth) and features guitar driven songs blended with diverse vocal styling from high falsetto wails to mid-range power and hardcore screams. Omega Crom seamlessly combine punchy rhythms, contrasting patches of melodic clean guitar, ripping solos, flowing harmonies, intense bass guitar attacks alongside relentless double kick thrash beats punctuated with inventive rolls and blast beats.
At an Omega Crom show you can expect to see over the top showmanship from shot gunning beers, excessive head banging and intense bass and guitar solos. Members include the likes of lead singer / shred master Johnny K, fierce shredder Wayne Holden, insane bassist Ian "Rapid Mutilation" Wilcke and Dan "The Rock" La Pierre who keeps it crushing on drums. These boys are all literally foaming at the mouth with hunger to rip and tear.
These Vancouver denizens of metal have received rave reviews for their live performances. They have shared the stage with such acts as Three Inches Of Blood, Zimmers Hole, Infernal Majesty, Into Eternity, Kataklysm, Stratovarius, Divinity, Hibria, Fattooth.

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
