Melbourne, Australia's melodic death metallers Orpheus Omega have released the first single, entitled “Beacons”, from their upcoming third full-length album, Partum Vita Mortem.

Orpheus Omega recently unveiled the cover artwork of Partum Vita Mortem. The album’s artwork was processed by Niklas Sundin / Cabin Fever Media (Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, At The Gates).

Since the release of 2013's ResIllusion, Orpheus Omega has cemented themselves as one of melodic death metal's most promising newcomers. After a slew of national support slots with Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom, Korpiklaani, Eluveitie and more, followed by a 2 week headlining tour of Asia, the band are now ready to unleash their third album, Partum Vita Mortem, a concept album exploring the human condition through Birth, Life and Death across an hour of unrelenting musicianship.

The concept behind Partum Vita Mortem:

Existence is cyclical. Partum Vita Mortem explores all the aspects that make us who we are, from our earliest beginnings to the very end of our journeys. Partum (Birth), Vita (Life) and Mortem (Death). These three distinct but interweaved aspects of existence are portrayed both musically and lyrically across 13 tracks that bring this concept to life. In an era where we often forget to experience and reflect on every moment we have, this album brings to the fore the struggles we all must face on our own journey.
