Escapades is the groupβs most refined and artistic work yet, landing #3 on AIRβs Australian Independent Album Chart. Utilising the unique line-up of two bass players and a drummer, The Omnific created an extraordinary mosaic that dances between progressive rock, djent, funk, and synth-driven soundscapes. The record also features Clay Gober of Polyphia as guest bassist on the single Antecedent, which received a colossal reception internationally.
With the young virtuosic band impressively clocking in just under 8 million Spotify streams and 3.5 million YouTube views to date, and following supports of Twelve Foot Ninja, Between The Buried & Me, COG, Intervals, and Ne Obliviscaris; The Omnific will be taking their pulsating performances to new heights for their first worldwide headline dates in support of Escapades.
The Omnific were joined by Brisbaneβs The Stranger & Magenta Voyeur.
