Nick Cordle joins Omnium Gatherum

Official debut show with a new lineup at Tuska festival on Friday

The world's best adult-oriented death metal band Omnium Gatherum will perform at Tuska in Helsinki on Friday, officially for the first time with their new line-up: Nick Cordle, who was already on the band's first successful North American headliner tour earlier this year, will take on the duties as Omnium Gatherum's second guitarist, alongside the OG band leader and guitarist Markus Vanhala.

"We are proud to announce that Nick Cordle will be joining the OG horde. After a banging North American tour with this guitar hero, he is most welcome to participate in our shenanigans across the world!"

Cordle, who is known not only as a guitarist but also as a distinguished songwriter in Arch Enemy, arrived to Finland earlier this week and is excited about the future with Omnium Gatherum.

"I could not be happier to be joining my long time friends in OG. We will shred Tuska in a few days and this is just the beginning", Cordle says.

Last year, Omnium Gatherum released their acclaimed new studio album Origin, which rose to the fifth place on Finland's official album charts. The band will be touring around Europe later this year with Fleshgod Apocalypse.

NEW VIDEO "PARAGON" 'OUT NOW!

Watch the video for "PARAGON" here:
https://youtu.be/-ZkpM4BTPQs

Jukka Pelkonen states; "Basically PARAGON is about overcoming obstacles and hard situations. Anything that comes to the way may be intense and malign, but it will not shatter the diamond of resolve, that is the paragon!"

Markus Vanhala continues; "…that leads us to the near past times of the band. Not only some virus but also weird lineup changes made our last year really difficult. But Finnish perseverance means that hard times and crisis are made to take on as a challenge, overcome them and refine yourself better. So here we are, back on track stronger than ever! That's why there’s a minimum amount of Finnish melancholy & darkness, but maximum amount of awesomeness & good times in this video. Never surrender!"

Video is directed by Owe Lingwall / Dreamday Media. OG mob wanna thank our partners in crime here; Skidmarks Team & AMW Dyno, Thunderwheels, Helin Talli, Drydrivers garage, HaminaKotka Port, Golden Eagle Cheerleader team, mystery Cadillac Man!

BASSIST IN - GUITARIST OUT

BASSIST IN - GUITARIST OUT

As you all know times and situations change in life all the time.

On the positive side of things - We're hard at work composing the new album stuff, and our bass player spot has finally been officially filled with our brother in arms - welcome MIKKO KIVISTÖ! This charismatic bass beast has already been playing gigs and conquered stages with us almost a year, and is previously known from the Finnish group Pain Confessor. As a human being and as a musician he fits absolutely very well to the Omnium Gatherum horde!

Here are Mikko’s thoughts on the matter:

”Im totally honored to be part of OG gang. Back in May 2019 I played my first gigs with the boys in Russia and it immediately felt I was in a right place with the right band. It felt like a dream come true! Last year was super, a lot of festivals and an European tour. It was easy to join the band with full of pure hearted guys I now can call my brothers and family. I will promise to continue to smash the bass at least as hard as all the previous guys did. Hopefully we’ll together beat this COVID-19 soon and see you all again in festivals, tours and gigs. Thank you Omnium Gatherum for trusting my skills. See you all soon. Stay safe and let the metal flow!”

On a bit more negative side of news - Our long time guitarist Joonas Koto decided to leave the group, already a while ago. There was no bad blood or fighting behind the decision, just a surprise and a shock. Joonas was just tired of active touring and travelling. We wish all the best for Joonas in his future endeavours!

Our brothers in metal, Jani Liimatainen and Nick Cordle have been helping us filling in as a 2nd guitar player on our gigs lately. Thanks dudes, and we salute your awesomeness!

At the moment we are operating officially as a 5-men unit, and composing the next album by storm and quarantine -

BUT, if you feel you (or someone you know) would have the guts, the balls, the bad jokes and the abilities for what it takes to be an Omnium Gatherum guitarist and part of the horde - feel free to contact the band and we’ll see what future holds - Search is on!!

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR & SCANDINAVIAN TOUR CANCELLED

...As you might've noticed - everything is cancelled at the moment due to Koronavirus!
OMNIUM GATHERUM and INSOMNIUM announce co-headline Livestream Concert!

Because of the exceptional circumstances all around the world, cultural events of all shapes and sizes are prohibited. This insists on new aspects and innovations from everybody involved in the business.

So here we are!

Finnish melodic death metal’s heavy hitters Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum in co-operation with East Coast Events, AK Sound & Music Service, livevideo.fi and Framenoir arrange Live Stream -concert next week’s Friday 4/10/2020 19:00 (EEST).

Both of the bands play live, and the participating audience is able to comment and react to the performance live. Apparent agenda of this all is to offer an opportunity for the fans to spend the moment as intuitive and interactive as possible with their favourite bands.

Markus Vanhala comments on behalf of both camps:
”If someone had asked me to do a live stream with ticket sales two weeks ago, my answer would’ve been hell no. But the world changes, apparently really fast when you’re in quarantine. Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum double trouble North American tour went pretty bad with the cancellation and the country (=WORLD!) shutting down right after we arrived at the airport to New York City… So this is what we can offer back for now, before this tour can be rescheduled sometime next year, hopefully. After staring two weeks to the wall inside four walls at home quarantine, I have discovered a hellish urge to go back on stage and play. Even if it would be an empty hall and pose for the camera eyes only, but to play with my booyas as live in concert as we can at the moment! With this stream production we try to help cultural field and concert promoting, our own crew, local entertainment companies and a bit also, our poor ourselves, as cancellation of the gigs and tours destroyed our income. Thanks for the huge support to our beloved fans!”

Also, the companies operating in the event industry are in a tight spot right now, which is why the committed Kotka-Hamina -area companies are offering their expertise and equipment to provide an evening to remember fo the bands and their fans.

Live Stream takes place in www.eastcoastevents.fi/streamtv

Tickets are on sale at the same site. the price for the Stream is 8,90€.
Ticket will include live sets from both bands(recording of the show is also available 48h after live sets) and
live chat with both band members between the changeover.
"BE THE SKY" OFFICIAL PHONEVIDEO!

"Hell'o folks and checking in from the OG hq!

This "Be The Sky" DIY home video was filmed and edited by my phone during past 1,5 years on "The Burning Cold" tours all around the world , and it includes the same vast skies spotted everywhere around the planet Earth during the endless travels with the band. Back in the good old times when we were free and able to tour, times before apocalypse. Waiting to do some more, someday!

This week we're gonna rock thru the livestream and pretend it feels like a real concert in front of a real crazy fans in the front, be sure to check it out and support "the modern times".

The mid-video also contains the "not-so-serious" bass player application video that Mikko Kivistö send to us, and in fact, got the job! With this excerpt we wanna thank all the guitarists who have already sent your application to us - you are many and have surprised us positively, and we're starting slowly to watch all of them carefully and plan the next moves with this case too!

We have been overwhelmed by our fans huge and endless support during these hard times - Thank thee all!

Be safe, and let's stay strong!"

"REFINING FIRE" - NEW VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM!

"Refining Fire", second single and video released now from the upcoming album "The Burning Cold" which will be released 31st of August worldwide via Centure Media Records.

Jukka Pelkonen comments: "The new video song 'Refining fire' is a story about not giving
up and the power of staying clear-headed inside oneself, as well as in the outside world too within all the chaotic turbulence. It is the never-ending stream, the river that carries us and it is the fire that
refines us. Stay strong and hold your head up high. You deserve it! ...Musically speaking, this is
maybe the most OG old schoolish song on the new album!"

Watch the video for "Refining Fire" here:

Instant Grat Track on Amazon and iTunes.

Here's the first single entitled "Gods Go First" off upcoming album "The Burning Cold", which will be released on August 31st worldwide via Century Media Records / Sony Music Entertainment.

The band comments: "GODS GO FIRST" is about the will and the power of it, like good ol' Yoda sayz
"do, or do not, there is no try" - Gods go first to the absolute, and to nothingness! Catchy wild ride with a lot of nasty shameless musicianship included.. Sure this one's gonna be a killer live tune which will get a lot of moshpits rolling! We wanted to make an intensive old school video with just the band and nothing else, and team captured well this moment of playing in a tiny old barn in the middle of nowhere."

You can watch the video for "Gods Go First" here: https://youtu.be/6FJlxMPE5b0

NEW ALBUM - "THE BURNING COLD" RELEASE DATE

OMNIUM GATHERUM have finished recording their new album, which will see a worldwide release on August 31st via Century Media Records! Album will be entitled “The Burning Cold” and it's again been produced & recorded by Teemu Aalto and mixed & mastered by Dan Swanö.

Main songwriter and guitarist Markus Vanhala comments:
"Sometimes you can be extra proud of something you've achieved, and I could claim that ‘The Burning Cold’ album has a sense of special chapter for me. I haven’t been this excited for a new album of mine for ages!

I've been extra busy with all the touring in the past year(s) and I truly don’t know when and where I got these songs made. They somehow wrote themselves indeed. We got some really good kick-ass songs and fresh tunes made up and ‘The Burning Cold’ has a really honest feeling in it. Fresh rebirth of Omnium Gatherum!

We are honored kick off this album cycle with a pre-release show for the new album at one of our favorite festivals in the field, SUMMER BREEZE. You can hear debut live shots of some of the new songs there, so be sure not to miss all this excitement, new glory and fresh mistakes!"

Singer and frontman Jukka Pelkonen comments on the lyrical themes and concepts:
"There are two major lyrical concepts on the new album;

Firstly, it touches the great human tragedies and fortunes which are around us - Tragedies such as war and the engulfing darkness that follows, and Fortunes which are tangled in experiences we all share despite of the seemingly burning world.

Secondly, the lyrics speak loudly of the human emotional condition. How do we love? Why do we hate? Why some things are easier to leave behind than others. Why does death terrify us, and if it does why do people act like it does not exist?

This album is a pinnacle of all the hard work we as a group have done in OG for a long time. The music comes alive and reaches new perspectives. Still. This is truly melodic death metal. Sharpened polished, brutal."

More details about “The Burning Cold” will follow soon!

NEW SONG & LYRIC VIDEO - BLADE REFLECTIONS

We just released a brand new stand alone single anthem "Blade Reflections" - Watch it here:
https://youtu.be/j5glljbcJPw

Jukka Pelkonen comments:
"In the light of recent events we wanted to voice our opinion about the tragedy of suicide. This is a subject that may concern anyone at some point. 'Blade Reflections' is a statement against suicide and an encouragement to all of those who dwell in the depths of self-annihilation. Having been there myself too, I know how devastating it can be. There is nothing more precious than this life itself and it is worth seeing through. Though, we do not condemn those who choose to go, rather we want to stand by with all the rest, all of us, who are staying."

Markus Vanhala adds;
'Blade Reflections' is a lil’ older song that didn’t entirely fit to our previous album, so here it is - as a single format standalone anthem!
The Song was produced in a kind of swansong recording session with our former long-time drummer Jarmo Pikka. So we still keep Tuomo Latvalas upcoming beats and styles as mystery for you til’ the next album, the Century Media OG debut, which we're soon about to start recording.
Before that, enjoy 'Blade Reflections' and come to see us on autumnal European stages in October/November during our 'Arctic Circle Alliance' co-headline tour with Icelanders of Skalmöld and Finnish fellows Stam1na opening all the evenings!"

OMNIUM GATHERUM SIGNS WITH CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS WORLDWIDE!

Omnium Gatherum has just signed a deal with Century Media Records. After already having signed the band with their latest album “Grey Heavens” for North America, Century Media Records is now going global and will release the upcoming albums worldwide!

Markus' comments: "We're very loud and proud to announce Omnium Gatherum signing to one of the leading legends in metal, Century Media Records! Last years have been really good for OG and joining CM tour de force is a natural next step on our path to limelight and glorification. I've known Jens and the good staff of CM many years and I know they're hardworking, honest and very nice
people to hang out, so we're very much looking forward to this shiny partnership! We wanna send out our biggest thanks and respect also to Mr. Stefan Lüdicke and Lifeforce Records for saving us back then and doing a really good job for the band many previous years. May the force be with us all & many good evil things to follow!"

Jens Prüter, Century Media Head of A&R: “It’s already 7 years ago when we first met at legendary show in my "live living room", the Turock Club in Essen, Germany. Swallow The Sun, Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum was the dream package for every fan of dark metal! We stayed in contact over all the years and I’m really happy that we now can complete the trio of this very remarkable night. The last Omnium Gatherum album "Grey Heavens turned out to be a high point of their almost 20 year long career and we all know that the band will continue to grow. I want to thank my friend and OG founding member Markus Vanhala for the trust in Century Media and I would also like to thank Stefan Lüdicke from Lifeforce Records for the great work on the last 3 albums!”

OG ENGINE CHANGE: EXIT JARMO - ENTER TUOMO!

Omnium Gatherum is happy to announce Tuomo Latvala joining the band as a full-time drummer after one year of solid prospect member service. Tuomo is a drumming instructor at his private drum school in Turku (Southwest Finland), and currently plays also in Torture Killer. He has previously played in such bands as Demigod and Hateform.

Omnium Gatherum collectively thanks and salutes JARMO PIKKA for 18 years of solid service and brotherhood - may the force be with you!

Markus Vanhala summa summarizes:
“As many of you Omnium Gatherum fans an’ followers might have noticed, there’s been another bold-headed rhythm machine hitting the drums already over one year. Our long-time drummer and brother-in-arms Jarmo Pikka stepped out for a daddy leave last year, and since then we’ve got the amazing Tuomo Latvala as a filling-in drummer. At some point it became clear that Jarmos holiday is stretching longer and longer, so it became evident for Tuomo to step in. And why the hell not - since the show #1 with the dude it was clear that the chemistry, the energy, the friendship and the brotherhood is there. So we’re proud’n’loud and pleased to welcome the man from south-west Finland to join us east coasters! Many good things will follow soon!”

Tuomo’s words of wisdom:
“My first encounter with OG was around 2001 when they and one of my previous bands played at a same metal happening in my hometown Turku. I bought their demo CD and thought they played the crap out of the bands performing that night. We have bumped into each other every now and then, but it wasn’t until 2010 when I had a chance to get to know Markus a bit more.

My band Hateform played in Kotka and we had an afterparty and slept over at Markus’ place. It’s not a secret that Markus shared his bed with me that night and I told him not to hesitate to ask if he’d ever need my services (as a drummer). After five years or so he still remembered my words and asked if I could fill in for Jarmo on their North American tour 2015. After that I was asked to do a few more tours, festival dates and one-off shows before I was faced with a question of joining the band as a fulltime member. Apparently you can find yourself in a situation like this by spending a night together with Mr.Vanhala.

Jarmo being known as an extremely solid drummer and a longtime member of the band I feel honored to have a chance to continue where he left off. After doing a one year’s worth of shows it already feels like a second home with the guys and I’m proud to say that I’m a part of Omnium Gatherum now. I’m excited in starting to work on a new album and playing for old and new fans around the world. Cheers and see you on tour! “

EUROPEAN TOUR 2016

Omnium Gatherum is happy and proud to announce first European tour trek in support for "Grey Heavens" album in feb/march 2016!

It's a 10-date co-headline tour Omnium Gatherum with Draconian, and support coming from Year Of The Goat and Oceanwake, so it's gonna be Finnish / Swedish death match with this band line-up!

" We cannot wait to hit the road again with a turbo loaded set list including stuff from the new upcoming "Grey Heavens" album! Even though it's only about 2 months that we played the last show of our 150 -date "Beyond the World" tour that took us around the planet and from coast to coast. Co-headlining in Europe with Draconian sounds like a lot of fun and finally we get to play also a longer set in mainland Europe, which is cool for both the fans and the band! See you soon on the road people! ", comments Markus Vanhala.
