The Omnific

The Omnific is an Australian progressive metal band from Melbourne that formed in 2016, and is known for their unique lineup of two bassists and one drummer.

The band's debut album, Escapades (2021), reached number 3 on the Australian AIR Charts.

The next day after getting out of hospital, Matt and Toby tracked bass for their standalone single, The Cuneiform Script,[4] which was released later in the year on June 11.

The band continued to play shows throughout the year, supporting the likes of Outline In Color, I Built The Sky and James Norbert Ivanyi.
