The Redshift is Omnium Gatherum's fourth full-length album, and it is also their second album since Jukka Pelkonen replaced Antti Filppu as the Finnish death metal band's lead vocalist. Released in 2007, Stuck Here on Snakes Way -- the first Omnium Gatherum album that featured Pelkonen -- had its melodic passages and used keyboards but was ultimately about brutality more than nuance or intricacy. Melody, however, is a much higher priority on The Redshift, which is a more interesting disc than Stuck Here on Snakes Way. That isn't to say that Stuck Here on Snakes Way was a bad album; it was a decent, although somewhat uneven, effort. But The Redshift is more memorable and more consistent, and Omnium Gatherum's members sound like they are genuinely enjoying the band's greater emphasis on melody. However, the fact that this 2008 release is more melodic than Stuck Here on Snakes Way does not mean that Omnium Gatherum have quit being forceful as hell; there is still plenty of bombast and plenty of furious thrashing taking place on The Redshift. And even though Pelkonen offers some clean vocals, he favors extreme vocals most of the time and usually gives listeners a stereotypical "Cookie Monster" growl. Nonetheless, Omnium Gatherum are going for an honest to God balance of brutality and intricacy this time; melody isn't just a mere afterthought on The Redshift, which is definitely a creative step forward for the Nordic death metal combo.
