Hi everyone !

Here's a new video of Christian Alvestam (ex Scar Symmetry/ Miseration) recording some guest vocals for a few tracks on the new album 'Mortuus Machina', which we are currently working on! A huge thanks to Christian and Tomas "Plec" Johansson of Panic-Room studios (Sweden) for their time and also putting this video together.


Cheers,
UNIVERSUM !

Christian has been a busy man of late, with numerous projects on the go. He has made a recent post regading the activities. Here is what he had to say about Universum....

"Universum - back in July I recorded several parts (both cleans and growls) for the upcoming second album by the Australian band UNIVERSUM. I must say I really like what these guys have put together and I think this album will be the one putting them on the map, judging from the few songs I have heard so far. Personally, I am really satisfied with how my parts turned out and think you guys who like my previous multi-vocal stuff will enjoy it too. Release at the turn of the year!"

Australia’s melodic death metal heavyweights ‘UNIVERSUM’ have announced they are to commence recording of the much anticipated follow-up to their highly successful debut album ‘LETO DESTINATUS’ in the coming months.

Due for release in early 2010, the album tentatively titled ‘MORTUUS MACHINA’ will feature guest appearances from vocalist Christian Älvestam (ex Scar Symmetry, Miseration) as well as guest guitar solos from Nightrage axe men Marios Iliopoulos and Olof Mörck.  Jens Bogren of Sweden’s Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Soilwork, Amon Amarth, Katatonia) will once again be handling both mixing and mastering duties.

UNIVERSUM’s lead guitarist Michael Soininen comments: "We are all excited by how the new album is developing so far and believe that the songs have a newfound depth, both musically and lyrically. The combination of the new material, the great guest musicians Christian, Marios and Olof, along with Jens’s mixing and mastering should result in a great album”.

In the 12 months since the release of their debut album "Leto Destinatus", UNIVERSUM have made a major impact both in Australia and internationally and have received widespread acclaim from the media and their ever growing legion of fans.  The success of the debut album together with live performances alongside international big guns ‘Dragonforce’ (Australian national tour) and ‘Cradle of Filth’, a string of endorsements and a very well received video clip has seen UNIVERSUM quickly become regarded as one of Australia's premier melodic death metal acts.

Stay tuned for further information on the forth coming album ‘MORTUUS MACHINA’ as it becomes available.
