OMNIKOLOSS Enter a World Where Flesh and Technology Converge on “Quantum Fleshdrive”
Where organic life meets machinery
German experimental metal collective OMNIKOLOSS will release their third full-length album, “Quantum Fleshdrive”, on December 4, 2026. The result of a recording process spanning nearly five years, the album draws on science fiction, cyberpunk and body horror, placing the convergence of human flesh and technology at the centre of its dark narrative. The second single, ‘Splitmind’, is now available.
Emerging from recording sessions that began in January 2021, “Quantum Fleshdrive” continues OMNIKOLOSS’s approach of combining black metal and death metal foundations with industrial, noise, ambient and electronic elements. This time, the collective moves beyond the setting of a dying megacity to explore the human body, where organic life, technology and consciousness begin to merge.
‘Splitmind’ is the second track unveiled from the album, following the previously released ‘Omnisyndrom Alpha 17’. The new single occupies the third position on the six-track record.
Formed in 2020 by Tobias Norbinski (Der Rote Milan) and David Feistel (Stellar Master Elite), OMNIKOLOSS completed their current lineup shortly afterwards with the addition of Surviolence (Captain Cavemen) and vocalist Khonan. Their sound brings guitars and acoustic drums together with analogue synthesizers, programmed beats, field recordings and electronic manipulation. By combining carefully arranged compositions with spontaneous performances captured across different recording sessions, the collective treats electronic sounds not as additions to a traditional extreme metal framework, but as fundamental components of its music.
“Quantum Fleshdrive” was mixed by David Feistel and Cave Sustain, with mastering handled by Markus Stock at Klangschmiede Studio E. The cover artwork was created by Karmazid. Analogue synthesizers, including the Sequential Prophet 12, Moog Sub 37, Korg MS-20 and Roland Juno-60, also played a significant role in shaping the album’s sound.
OMNIKOLOSS’s third album, “Quantum Fleshdrive”, will be released on December 4, 2026, in digital format, as a vinyl edition limited to 250 copies, and in a special bundle featuring an exclusive cassette.
