July 11, 2009, 15 years ago
Australia’s melodic death metal heavyweights UNIVERSUM have announced they are to commence recording of the much anticipated follow-up to their highly successful debut album Leto Destinatus in the coming months.
Due for release in early 2010, the album tentatively titled Mortuus Machina will feature guest appearances from vocalist Christian Älvestam (ex-SCAR SYMMETRY, MISERATION) as well as guest guitar solos from NIGHTRAGE axemen Marios Iliopoulos and Olof Mörck. Jens Bogren of Sweden’s Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, SOILWORK, AMON AMARTH, KATATONIA) will once again be handling both mixing and mastering duties.
Universum’s lead guitarist Michael Soininen comments: "We are all excited by how the new album is developing so far and believe that the songs have a newfound depth, both musically and lyrically. The combination of the new material, the great guest musicians Christian, Marios and Olof, along with Jens’s mixing and mastering should result in a great album”.
