Omelas is an innovative melodic death metal band founded in Tokyo in 2018, drawing its name from Ursula K. Le Guin’s thought-provoking short story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. This title reflects the band’s commitment to delving into profound and intricate themes through their music. Influenced by renowned Northern European melodic death metal acts such as In Flames, Arch Enemy, and Children of Bodom, Omelas skillfully merges intense vocal screams with melodic clean singing and sophisticated guitar compositions, crafting a quintessential melodic death metal experience filtered through a distinctly Japanese lens.
