We are OMNITROCY, a death metal band from Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Omnitrocy is a brutal/tech death metal band, founded in the summer of 2019, in Cluj-Napoca, by its original members, namely George (drums), Vladimir (guitar), Silviu (bass) and Ionuț (vocals). Silviu (bass) left the band in 2024, being replaced by Rares, in 2025. At the core of its musical concept lies the propensity towards introspection and dissection of the human psyche with the tools offered by the artistic field, but also the passion for extreme metal. Their sources of inspiration are concepts from the spheres of philosophy and psychology, such as specious present, Ego Depletion, God of the Gaps as a source of knowledge out of ignorance and solipsism as the only real instance of human psychological existence and so on.

Story behind the song
Omphaloskepsis by Omnitrocy is a meditation on self-reflection turned corrosive, when deep contemplation becomes an endless spiral of decay. The title, literally meaning navel-gazing, serves as a metaphor for being trapped inside ones own mind, unable to escape the loop of thought and introspection. The lyrics move between paradox and collapse: Your world is in your hands, Destroyer of worlds portrays the self as both creator and destroyer of reality, while Crumble within, starving inside your skin / For hope the ashes of your mind evokes existential starvation and the loss of meaning. The recurring refrain, Realitys embrace, in dying without grace Is this Omphaloskepsis, frames the song as both a literal question and a philosophical critique of reflection pushed too far. At its core, Omphaloskepsis explores the fragility of the mind when consumed by its own searching: introspection that ceases to enlighten and instead corrodes, leaving only emptiness, graceless decay, and the ashes of thought itself.
