Broken Hope will release their sixth album Omen of Disease this year. That sounds like....death metal! It's also the name of a song on the record, their first "title track" since 1991's Swamped in Gore.

"Some time ago, a festering death metal prophecy indicated something sick and brutal was coming back from the dead," said the Hope's Jeremy Wagner, who serves as chief lyricist. "The malignant signs became evident when Broken Hope first resurrected from the grave and then went on tour. A more sinister foreboding followed when Broken Hope wrote a new death metal album for the world to hear. Today, I'm a harbinger, here to alert everyone of a 'death metal omen' that is upon us...I speak of the new Broken Hope album, Omen of Disease. The album title itself reeks of a musical offering that is nothing short of gruesome. Omen of Disease will be released to infect everyone worldwide this summer. I promise: this death metal album is a most savage, feral, pestilential, and lethal creation. You've been warned..."
