Genre defining technical death metal giants, ORIGIN, have released a brand new song entitled “All Things Dead” accompanied by a lyric video, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBjJK2d-Fv4. The track comes from their upcoming album, Omnipresent, which will be released on July 8, 2014 in North America via Nuclear Blast (and on Agonia Records on July 4th in Europe). Pre-order your copy with or without an exclusive t-shirt design, from the Nuclear Blast USA web shop at http://smarturl.it/ORI-OMNI-NB.
The song “Manifest Desolate” can also be streamed from the following location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=162AWyhziJ8&feature=youtu.be.
Omnipresent was recorded and mixed with longtime producer/engineer Robert Rebeck at Chapman Recording in Lenexa, KS. The album was mastered at Menegroth - The Thousand Caves with Colin Marston, and features artwork once again by Colin Marks (NEVERMORE, KATAKLYSM, EXODUS). The album marks the recording debut of Jason Keyser (ex-SKINLESS), who has being touring with the ORIGIN as their vocalist since the release of Entity. "ORIGIN records albums in a somewhat masochistic, chaotic, and senseless fashion,” comments drummer John Longstreth. “It’s our best trick, and we need the best guy for our best trick, so that’s why we have Jason. He’s had two years of hard road work with the band and we know he’s the guy. For those that weren’t aware, ORIGIN recorded Entity as a trio without a proper vocalist, so we are very excited to have Jason in to do what a proper vocalist is supposed to do."
Omnipresent track listing:
1. All Things Dead
2. THRALL:FULCRUM:APEX
3. Permanence
4. Manifest Desolate
5. Absurdity of What I Am
6. Source of Icon O

9. Redistribution of Filth
10. Obsolescence
11. Malthusian Collapse
12. The Indiscriminate
13. Kill Yourself (S.O.D. cover song)
"A culmination of 15 years of technical death metal brutality, Omnipresent transcends definition,” states the band. “From light speed to absolute zero it is a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe to the darkest nether of the mind. We are everywhere and nowhere. We are omnipresent."
