Omnium Gatherum have announced their new EP Slasher will be out through Century Media on June 02nd. Along with the news, the band released the video below for the title track.
Jukka Pelkonen, the band’s vocalist, offered the following:
“A powerful fast song with a message like a plea to oneself! The darkness within can be an ally or an enemy. You are both the hunter and the hunted! ‘Slasher‘ is also the title of our upcoming EP. This bad boy delivers two more OG songs and a furious cover. For now, check out the rippings of ‘Slasher‘!”
Markus Vanhala, the band’s guitarist/vocalist, added:
“Hello from OG HQ! We’ll serve you a snack in between album cycles – it’s called ‘Slasher‘, it’s an EP and it rocks! This release is a two-sided coin: A-side is presenting our new guitar hero and team player on the other side of the Atlantic, Mr. Nick Cordle (who joined the band right after our ‘Origin‘ release); B-side is presenting two older songs which were recorded already during the ‘Origin‘ sessions and aimed to release as digi-singles (but here they are on vinyl and CD too now finally). Enjoy!”
Slasher track listing:
01 – “Slasher”
02 – “Maniac” (Michael Sembello cover)
03 – “Sacred”
04 – “Lovelorn”
