OmniumGatherum10

Melodic Death Metal band OMNIUM GATHERUM have issued the following update:

"We're really sorry to announce that Harri Pikka [Guitars] has silently decided to flee the OMNIUM GATHERUM crew after 13 years of solid service. We don't know his exact reasons for this but maybe someday Mr. Mystery Man will tell us? :)

"At the moment we've decided to finish the new album as a five-piece unit, but we have the best possible live guitar unit called Joonas Koto(MALPRACTISE, Ex-HATEFRAME) filling the second guitar live duties at the moment and it rocks!"

OMNIUM GATHERUM recently inked a deal with LIFEFORCE RECORDS. The band will enter the studio at the end of August to begin recording its fifth album for an early 2011 release.

Commented the group:
"After a lot of consideration and negotiating with many parties, we came to a conclusion that LIFEFORCE RECORDS is the way to go! They've been showing the right kind of interest in us for some time now and it seems that they have the same honest attitude towards music and mayhem as we do."

Regarding the material for the band forthcoming CD, OMNIUM GATHERUM said in a statement, "This time we really put a lot of time and effort on the pre-production of the stuff.

"It's going to be an epic and massive attack of ever-flowing stream of Finnish 'melodic death metal,' straight from the souls of black."
