History
Omega Diatribe was formed in 2008 by Gergõ Hájer (guitar) and Ákos Szathmáry (bass). They started to play live in 2012 with a five-piece lineup. The band grew in popularity with their intense life shows and powerful sound.
In 2013, Omega Diatribe released their full-length debut album entitled ''IAPETUS''. ''IAPETUS'' contains ten songs. The band recorded the CD at their own studio at 515 Studio. The album was nominated the 'Best Album of the Year' and 'Best Studio Production' in Hungary, and landed in second place.
In 2014, the band split ways with Dávid Metzger (drummer) and started to work with American drummer Kevin Talley on new material. Omega Diatribe released their new EP called ''Abstract Ritual'' on 26 February 2015.
In the summer of 2015, they signed to the US-based record label Independent Ear Records. Thanks to this, Omega Diatribe's record ''Abstract Ritual'' was released in the US on 11 September 2015, including a remixed bonus track by Hungarian electro artist dOTS.
The band released a new single in the beginning of 2016 called "Contrist". The release also contains an exclusive cover of
