OMNIUM GATHERUM Moves Into Direct-Support Slot On DARK TRANQUILLITY UK Tour

January 30, 2008

According to a posting on the OMNIUM GATHERUM web site, UK thrashers EVILE have cancelled their participation in the DARK TRANQUILLITY-headlined "The Great British Fiction Tour", which means that OG will move into the main-support slot on the trek. "EVILE will be compensated with local opening acts," OMNIUM GATHERUM writes on its web site.

OMNIUM GATHERUM will enter the studio in March to begin recording its fourth CD. According to the band, "this time the album will be done in three different studios; recordings will be done at Sound Supreme Studios by Janne Saksa and at SouthEastSounds by Teemu Aalto and the mixing and mastering will be done at legendary Unisound Studio at Örebro, Sweden by Dan Swanö (NIGHTINGALE, ex-EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH, etc.) who's produced the albums for OPETH, KATATONIA and DISSECTION, for example. So, we could say that we're really enthusiastic about this, surprise! First time the album composing process have been really easy task and this pure fresh spirit can really be heard from the songs. The next level have been entered, so beware folks — autumn 2008 will be time for THE OG INVASION!"

OMNIUM GATHERUM last year parted ways with bassist Janne Markkanen and replaced him with Eerik Purdon (CRYSTAL BLAZE, AMORAL).

The band's latest album, "Stuck Here on Snakes Way", entered the Finnish chart at position No. 31. The CD, which was released on April 2, 2007 via Candlelight Records (one day later in North America),was recorded during November-December 2006 at Southeast Studios in Karhula, Finland with producer Teemu Aalto. An eight-minute video clip documenting the recording sessions for the album has been posted online at this location. Check out audio samples on the band's MySpace page.

"Stuck Here on Snakes Way" marks the band's first release with brand new vocalist Jukka Pelkonen, who joined the group in May 2006.
