Omission

Omission is a Spanish thrash metal unit formed in 2002 by Patillas, who has remained the central creative force throughout the band's history. Emerging from the Madrid scene, they are torchbearers for the 'Satanic Thrash' movement, a sub-sect of the genre that rejects the polished production of modern metal in favor of the raw, abrasive aesthetics of the 1980s European underground.

Their sound is characterized by high-velocity tremolo picking, frequent use of the d-beat, and a vocal delivery that bridges the gap between thrash shouting and black metal shrieking. Over two decades, they have maintained a prolific output, with albums like 'Merciless Jaws From Hell' and 'Breathless Existence' solidifying their reputation among crate-digging metal purists. Critically, they are viewed as a 'band's band,' respected for their refusal to modernize or soften their sound. They occupy a specific niche that connects the dots between the Teutonic thrash of the 80s and the more extreme blackened movements that followed, making them a vital link in the evolution of extreme music in Spain.
