Band Information
Omnium Gatherum was an Adelaide grind band formed in 1997 by Rocco and Johnno (ex-Sexual Intercorpse). With the line-up completed shortly afterward, the band produced a couple of demos of crushing, aggressive percussive grind and brutal death that scored solid reviews the world over.
A ubiquitous live presence on the local scene and old-fashioned tape-trading found them linking up with Tasmanian distribution label Life Fluid Productions and led to the release of the insane Rectifying Human Rejection album in August 2001, an issue preceded in April by the acquisition of a new bass player in the shape of Paul Stuart from Deaths Boundaries. A second guitarist Dave then augmented the line-up, but when Stuart left the band in mid-2003 he switched to the bass role until another ex-Deaths Boundaries member Matt joined the band some months later.
In mid-2004 Omnium Gatherum supported Deeds of Flesh and shortly afterward announced a name change to simply Omnium, to avoid confusion with the Finnish death metal band.
