Insomnium/Omnium Gatherum Live 2020-04-02 by Trey STAFF | 24 Comments |
Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum have announced a very special and exclusive live streaming event, taking place on Friday, April 10 at 18.00 CEST.
Markus Vanhala comments on behalf of both bands: "If someone had asked me to do a livestream with ticket sales two weeks ago, my answer would've been 'hell no.' But the world changes, apparently really fast, when you're in quarantine. INSOMNIUM and OMNIUM GATHERUM double trouble North American tour went pretty bad with the cancellation and the country (=WORLD!) shutting down right after we arrived at the airport to New York City… So this is what we can offer back for now, before this tour can be rescheduled sometime next year, hopefully. After staring two weeks on the wall inside four walls at home quarantine, I have discovered a hellish urge to go back on stage and play. Even if it would be an empty hall and pose for the camera eyes only, but to play with my booyas as live in concert as we can at the moment!
"With this stream production, we try to help the cultural field, concert promoting, our own crew, local entertainment companies and a bit also, our poor ourselves, as cancellation of the gigs and tours destroyed our income. Thanks for the huge support to our beloved fans!"
Both bands will be playing live on April 10 and the viewers are going to be able to comment and react on the performance in real time. This offers the opportunity for the fans to react and interact during the show. During the changeover, members of both bands will be available for a live chat as well.
The live stream will take place at www.eastcoastevents.fi/streamtv.
The ticket sale has started at the link above. The recording will be available for 48 hours after the live stream. (Ticket price is: 8,90€.)

I'll pay for it. Now more than ever we should support the bands we like.

Time for some virtual headbanging m/

thisum shouldum beum aum heavium concertum
|

My booyas
|
| |
I think this is a great idea, might be able to watch
|
| |
More bands should take this up
|
| |
What the hell I thought these were the same bands
|
| |
Bought one of their special run canceled tour shirts and will probably buy a ticket for this too
|
| |
sounds kinda lame, but i get it. shits rough.
|
| |
If I was into either of these bands I'd totally buy a ticket.
|
| |
This would be pretty good all things considered
|
| |
"What the hell I thought these were the same bands"
They all have the "um" in common
|
| |
I think I'll probably review this concert. Why not?
|
| |
Interesting. Wondering if we are going to see an increase of popularity of concert livestreams after this stuff is over.
Also I thought both bands were the same one.
|
| |
I think they share members... like a guitar player or something.
|
| |
"I think I'll probably review this concert. Why not?"
Do it, that would be awesome
|
| |
I'm not as big of a fan of either band as you are. If you want to watch it and give another take or something.

"Interesting. Wondering if we are going to see an increase of popularity of concert livestreams after this stuff is over."
It's definitely something that I think can work for these kinda bands where the musicianship is one of their key selling points. A lot of guys in these kinda bands (Matt Heafy, Jake Bowen, Tim Henson) have been doing twitch streams for a while now just by themselves (for free too) and people seem to love them.
|
| |
Aaaand the stream didn't work either, brutal. Now they just recorded themselves playing the show and are going to release it in a bit.
|
| |
Yeah, I had bought a 'ticket' for this concert. There's a few other bands doing something similar that might be worth checking out. Babymetal dropped two of their live DVDs on Youtube and called it their 'stay at home' concert series or something like that.
|
| |
Babymetal creeps me out because those two girls seem like hostages (like k-pop stars are hostages to their managers/record label)
|
| |
Ha ha. They're not hostages. The one girl quit without any issues.
|
| |
That's good to hear. They also seemed to cater to that creepy "innocent cute schoolgirl" fetish that's so prevalent in Japan. I just can't get into it at all. Seems so manufactured and fake
|
| |
I think most music is manufactured and fake to a degree. In fact, the more brutal and over the top you go, the more manufactured and fake it probably is.
So, Disillusion did a live stream yesterday, but I completely forgot about it.
