Technical death metal giants ORIGIN launch a brand new song "Absurdity of What I Am" in the form of a lyric video. It is the third track to be unleashed from ORIGIN's upcoming 6th album, "Omnipresent", set to be released on July 4th in Europe via Agonia Records and July 8th in North America via Nuclear Blast. "Absurdity of What I Am" lyric video is available for viewing at:
Featuring the recording debut of new vocalist Jason Keyser (ex-Skinless), together with drummer John Longstreth (ex-Angelcorpse), guitarist Paul Ryan and bassist Mike Flores, ORIGIN mark a genre-defying return with their 6th full-length release. The band comments: "Omnipresent is a culmination of 15 years of technical death metal brutality that transcends definition". And continues: "From light speed to absolute zero, it is a journey to the farthest reaches of the universe, to the darkest nether of the mind". Cover artwork has been created by Colin Marks (Nevermore, Kataklysm, Exodus).
The follow-up to 2011's "Entity" album was recorded with long-time producer Robert Rebeck at Chapman Recording Studio (US) and both mixed and mastered together with Colin Marston at Menegroth - The Thousand Caves (Altar of Plagues, Krallice, Jarobe).

Formed in Kansas (North America) in 1997, ORIGIN is one of the top, most intense and most brutal technical death metal forces to be reckoned with. Since its inception, the group has charted twice on the Billboard Top Heatseekers (with "Antithesis" at #21 and "Entity" at #20) and emerged on countless highly-energetic shows across the world. This May, ORIGIN will be heading out on a headlining run in South East Asia and Australia.
