Trevor Strnad comments: "I am beyond excited to be involved in the rebirth of this legendary Death Metal monster. Broken Hope has been one of my favorite bands since I was a young metalhead, it's an absolute honor and pleasure to be a small piece of the action! The best part is that my contribution allowed me to hear a new song before everyone else, and I can proudly say this: They're baaaacccckkk!!!!"
Broken Hope has also tapped James Murphy (DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT, etc.) to mix and master Omen Of Disease at Murphy's studio, Safehouse Production.
Broken Hope's Shaun Glass comments: "Were pretty pumped to have long time friend and shred lord James Murphy on board for his über-sick mixing skills to complete the Omen Of Disease sessions. He has been part of BH history as he first appeared on our Repulsive Conception album with a crushing guest solo... and now years later, Murphy will be on board to taking our finest works yet to a new level."
