Finnish melodic death metal band Omnium Gatherum have faced another lineup change, as guitarist Nick Cordle has left to focus on his own musical projects. The group announced his exit on Tuesday (14th) just in time for their European tour while welcoming Joonas “Jope” Koto back, who will rejoin them for the road. Koto left Omnium Gatherum in 2019 after joining them in 2011. While the band’s long-term lineup plans remain unclear, Cordle’s time with Omnium Gatherum, dating back to around 2022 seems to have come to an end.

The band issued the following statement:

“Hello Omnium Gatherum alleycats!

We’re excited about starting the European tour today in London, and everyone’s ready for tonight’s show @ Heaven with Insomnium!

As you might have noticed in our previous updates, Joonas ”Jope” Koto will be joining us on this tour and it’s great to have the old gang back on the road again. At the same time it means Nick Cordle won’t be on stage with us, meaning not now nor in the future, as he will focus on his new own musical adventures from this on.

“Happy new year! I wish for everyone’s 2025 to be full of new adventures and especially new music (as mine will be!), and I wish Jope and the gang all the best times on their tour.” – Nick Cordle

We want to thank Nick for these years in Omnium Gatherum and wish him all the best luck in the future. We will surely meet at some festival backstage sooner than we can think and will raise a glass

See you all on the road, come and say hi and let’s celebrate ”Beyond” album around Europe!
P.S: The amazing limited color LP version of the ”Beyond” album is now available in your local record store, go and get your own copy
