German electronic-infused black metal band Omnikoloss have shared “Omnisyndrom Alpha 17”, the first single from their third album Quantum Fleshdrive, out December 4 via Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork.
Pre-order Quantum Fleshdrive here.
The song follows two nameless humans: one stuck in an endless cycle of work, consumption and recovery, the other seemingly free above that system.
“Human one is imprisoned by material reality; Human two is imprisoned by perception. One person knows they are trapped. The other has forgotten what a trap looks like.”

Blast beats meet an electronic march built around a sample from Tetsuo: The Iron Man, along with field recordings of frogs and night sounds captured around lakes and moors.
Black Metal Meets Body Horror
Quantum Fleshdrive pushes further into electronic music, analog synthesis, ambient and industrial sounds, pairing acoustic drums and guitars with programmed beats and synths like the Moog Sub 37, Korg MS-20, Polysix, Minimoog and Juno-60. Inspired by body horror, cyberpunk and dark sci-fi such as Tetsuo, Akira and Blade Runner, the album explores a world where flesh and technology merge. David Feistel produced and mixed it at Cave Sustain, Markus Stock mastered it at Klangschmiede Studio E, and Karmazid created the cover.
The vinyl comes in Hypnotoad Green (150 copies) and Fleshdrive Red (100 copies), plus 20 special sets with red vinyl, an exclusive DIY cassette and a pin.
