"Irish dark metal masters PRIMORDIAL have finished the recordings for their upcoming longplayer! "The Gathering Wilderness" is PRIMORDIAL's fifth full length album and their first for Metal Blade Records.

States singer Nemtheanga: "With this album we wanted to challenge ourselves a little more, it's very easy to slip into doing what is the easiest or the most comfortable and the previous 4 albums had been done with Mags of Academy studios fame (My Dying Bride, Anathema, P. Lost etc...) but for Gathering we wanted to shake things up and try something different. So we got over to Ireland famed engineer Billy Anderson (Melvins, sleep, Neurosis, High on Fire, Brutal Truth among many) and changed the studio we had become used to using in Ireland. Basically in search of something different."
