Tomy Laisto (Hateform, Mors Principium Est, Pain Confessor) bo pri finskih death metalcih Omnium Gatherum nadomestil kitarista Joonasa Koto na njihovi evropski turneji z Amon Amarth in Dark Tranquillity, ker je le-ta trenutno zaposlen s študijskimi obveznostmi. Turneja se prične danes, najbližje našim krajem pa bodo skupine nastopile 2. aprila v sosednjem Gradcu.

Novi album je tudi tokrat produciral Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, The Black Crowes), ki je pravzaprav predlagal sodelovanje med Hughesom in Bonamasso po tem, ko ju je leta 2009 prvič videl skupaj na odru, in je tudi nekakšen peti član zasedbe.
