Als letzte Single vor der Veröffentlichung ihres neuen Albums May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way, das am 7. November erscheint, bringen die finnischen Melodic-Death-Metal-Veteranen Omnium Gatherum den von den 80ern inspirierten Track Walking Ghost Phase heraus, der von einem Visualizer-Video begleitet wird, das hier zu sehen ist:
Jukka Pelkonen (Gesang) über den Song: „Walking Ghost Phase is about addiction in its many forms. It is about dullness defeating passion yet the addiction creating a fixation. It is a zombie-like state where one is forced to go through the destructive pattern repeatedly. Self-deception is one of the key topics in this song. How addiction lures one into thinking there is nothing wrong and then it consumes you. The title is a real term used when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster happened in the 80’s. There were workers exposed to heavy radiation who obviously got sick from it. After a while they seemed to be cured, but that was only a deception. Soon afterwards they just collapsed and passed away. That is why I linked the Walking Ghost Phase-state to the idea of addiction.”
Markus Vanhala (Gitarre) sagt darüber hinaus: “Here’s the third OG single down the road – called Walking Ghost Phase. This one represents the simpler, straight-forward banger side of the upcoming album, it is getting your heads banging and fists pumping. Really looking forward to playing this one live as it has a feel of an upcoming classic live anthem – luckily we have A LOT of shows coming up. Also fear not, there’s also gonna be some a bit more proggy or advanced stuff on the album. May the bridges we burn light the way!”
