Formed in 2020, Omnivide was formed by the members of a previous Opeth Tribute project called Sunbird. The members had the goal of writting progressive metal that combined the sound of all their favourite groups such as Obscura, Opeth, Alkaloid, The Black Dahlia Murder and more into a sound of their own. After a few early line-up changes, the current line-up was formed, save for bassist Alex Cormier who replaced Alex Olmstead in 2023.
The band spent the years 2020 and 2021 writing the songs for their first album, sculpting their sound down to the fine details, while also sharpening their audio engineering skills that would enable them to achieve their sonic vision. They worked to strike a balance between heavy, technical, progressive and symphonic elements, in the hopes of delivering a unique sound that would stand out amongst the ocean of bands that populate the music industry.
2022 and early 2023 were spent recording the songs for their debut album, which were all done in their home studios save for the drums which were recorded by François Fortin at Studio La Boîte Noire. The band also started playing live shows that year, performing all over Atlantic Canada in staple venues such as Xeroz and Broken Record, and remain active today, expanding their fanbase with every show they play.
