Omen (Hungria)

Omen formed in Hungary in 1989, releasing their debut album 'Örök' the following year. Their early sound was built on heavy riffs and melodic elements that connected with metal listeners there. The band's lineup has included vocalist János Kóbor, guitarist György Molnár, bassist Tibor Tátrai, and drummer István Miklós.

Their catalog grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s with albums like 'Vírus', 'Koronázatlan királyság', and 'Százezreknek egy perc'. Later releases included 'Farkasok éjszakája' in 2014 and 'Tűzkeresztség' in 2017. Songs like 'Akkor Is, Azért Is...' and 'A Gonosz Hétszer Él' became familiar to their audience.

Omen's lyrics sometimes explored darker themes, which occasionally drew attention in their earlier years. They kept recording and performing through various periods, maintaining a presence in Hungarian metal without much fanfare about their status or influence.
