OMEGA – The Prophet [Digitally Remastered +5] out of print
As requested, here’s the recent but already sold out reissue of British ’80s act OMEGA, and their only album cult classic 1985’s “The Prophet” fully remastered and including 5 previously unreleased tracks – in fact 6 as there’s a hidden track.
OMEGA was considered part of the NWoBHM scene, however at the time they recorded “The Prophet” the sound & style for the genre had considerably morphed. Many bands from the movement added a more commercial edge, however OMEGA was a different beast.
The first question that arise in your mind after finished listening “The Prophet” for the first time is: “what kind of music is this?”. It is undeniably traditional metal, and it is undeniably good and unique. But there is something about this album that simply eludes easy branding and labeling. Heavy? Epic? Progressive? NWOBHM? Hard Rock?
None of the above really, yet all of them are present, to various extents, in this little forgotten gem.
