Joonas Koto officially joins OMNIUM GATHERUM

Jope have been Markus' partner in crime in a progressive metal band Malpractice for many years by now, so he was the first, the most natural and the only candidate for the job for us and gladly we got him on board! He have been playing and recording previously in To/Die/For and Hateframe too, so he is a hard core professional dude.
Joonas' statement: "After two years as a session guitarist the guys finally asked me to join OMNIUM GATHERUM and I didn't hesitate one second! From theget-go I have felt like part of a family. The guys are very great as persons and professional as musicians. I'm very happy and proud to be a part of such a great band of brothers."
