Finland's OMNIUM GATHERUM have issued the following update:

"Howdy folks!

Time has come for the fourth OG album recordings, as we´ve been more productive than ever and the new stuff have been written in a few months and this is really new way of acting for OG! Working title for the new album at the moment is Red Shift Mystery...

We´ve been also doing quite a lot of pre-production this time and this is also the new way for us. So, we´ll be afraid about what´s coming up with this next chapter - it might even become a good album!? The third new way of acting with this OG record is that the album will be done in three different studios; drums will be done at Sound Supreme studio, other recordings will be done at good ol´ local & loyal SouthEastSounds studio and mixing and mastering will be done in Örebro, Sweden at Unisound studio with the Dan the man Swanö! I already met Mr. Swanö this weekend and had a 'business-beer' with the man and everything seems really cool with this co-operation.

Today me (Markus) and Jarmo packed the drum gear and headed to Hämeenlinna, Finland to Sound Supreme Studios to record the drums with Janne Saksa, famous for produced the albums for example to MOKOMA, TURISAS, ROTTEN SOUND, AMORAL and last, but of course not the least but the biggest, for TOTAL DEVASTATION and MANITOU!! ;)

So, far Jarmo and Janne have been doing the soundchecking and setting up a really large amount of mics around the drum kiosk. The sound is already good on the first rehearsal takes and there´s not much adjustment to do up to the top.

Easter rooster also visited the studio and laid some chocolate easter eggs to Janne to a hat on his mixing desk, so everything seems to be cool with on our true and evil easter metal breeding! Me and Jarmo have been already surrendered to our beloved studio-destiny and bought and ate some leverlåda a ka liver-box, famous finnish culinary delicacy...

We recorded some takes to five songs, working titles: 'The Nail', 'Black Goat', 'Chameleon Skin', 'Enska' and 'Poppy'. So, we´re on the good way!"
