On the rack: Toni Mäki from Omnium Gatherum


Wretched sinner, tell us about your latest deeds of evil and spite, "New World Shadows"!

 

 

Omnium Gatherum - It's a sinister creation, a perfect device for our malevolent purposes. Over 50 minutes of epic, melodic death metal with progressive elements and it's sole intention is to turn the righteous from the true path and into our ungodly ways after that morbid February release date. We also aim to turn as many vestal virgins into wicked harlots as possible.


 

You fiend! You intend to tour the world with this devilish noise, don't you?!

 

 

Omnium Gatherum - More than you can imagine! We've already confirmed an European tour in April/May with our bretheren in iniquity, Rotting Christ, and even more will follow soon! Even our native Finland won't be safe for we're making several gigs here, some in our own name, some with the obnoxious MyGrain and some with the ever-repulsive Evergrey. No-one is safe!


 
I reckon you have many ungodly stories from your sinful tours. You might as well give us the worst story since we're preparing to fry you anyway!

 

 

Omnium Gatherum - All kinds of deviltry has happened on our tours, but possibly one of the worst moments was on the Nile/Grave - tour when one of us totally disappeared after a show in Hamburg. We were supposed to be on our way to the next unfortunate town but nobody knew where he was and what had happened to him. Was he passed out on a railroad, was he robbed of his belongings and lying lifeless on some alley or had he finally been caught and <gasp> converted?! After hours and hours of searching the city and already announcing him deceased, the lad finally came back and it turned out he had been spreading his evil amongst the locals. In other words, skirt chasing...


 
Oh, you are indeed a wretch! If we had not caught you, what would you and your cohordes have done now? Recorded even more of your fiendish rattling?

 

 

Omnium Gatherum - Without a doubt. Even as we speak mischievous minds are constantly working on new ways to gain more followers and we have plenty of new material for it. It won’t be long...


 
Damnations! You are beyond redemption. Name the five musical pieces that you want to bring with you when we send you to hell!

 

 

Omnium Gatherum -
Emperor: In the Nightside Eclipse
Meshuggah: Chaosphere
Pantera: Far Beyond Driven
Ulver: Bergtatt
Slayer: Seasons in the Abyss
