Биография

Inter Omega are a five-piece progressive metal group hailing from Tartu, Estonia. Despite forming in 2015, the band has been a project many years in the making. Band guitarist and producer Steven Kingo had a clear vision of the styles and themes he wished to convey as he set off to form the group. Over time he assembled members whilst working away on demos in the studio with guitarist Kristo Ülper and Drummer Joel Hainsalu. Steven wanted to bring his own blend of new wave progressive metal to Estonia, drawing inspiration from bands such as Periphery, Tesseract, Intervals and even Meshuggah. The name Inter Omega has been a concept existing right from the project’s inception. ‘Inter’, to mean buried and between, in this instance representing ‘within one’s self’. And ‘Omega’, (Literally meaning ‘Great O’) signifies greatness, but also as the last letter of the Greek alphabet, denotes limitation and represents the ultimate end of a set. Combining these two words conveys the idea that we all have potential within ourselves, and the only thing stopping us is our own minds. This is a theme that is channelled through the lyrics, written respectively by each vocalist Ben Roomes and Mathias-Erik Tempel.
