Rockshots Records: Finland Prog Power Ultimatium New Music Video “(Don’t) Fear The Silence”
New Album “Virtuality” Out Now!
Finland power proggers Ultimatium are sharing their new music video “(Don’t) Fear The Silence” in support of their epic theme album “Virtuality” released this past November via Rockshots Records.
Music Video – https://youtu.be/DfZgp-32Woo
The band comments on the track:
“(Don’t) Fear the Silence is the most beautiful and saddest song on the album. Heroes have lost one of their own and they must say goodbyes in order to prepare for the final battle against the villain… This song is the first acoustic ballad from Ultimatium, with the ending chorus bringing in all the instruments. Listeners beware: the song features a sudden, hidden bass solo!”
Ultimatium was birthed out the deep forests of Suomussalmi, Finland. Their 4th studio full-length “Virtuality” follows their independently released “Vis Vires Infinitus” (2015), “New Dawn” (2004, Mastervox Records), and “Hwainoo” (2008, Mastervox Records).
The premise behind “Virtuality” is an introduction of a storyline of four gamers getting stuck in a virtual reality game in a near-future setting. Packed with five amazing lead vocalists, Peter James Goodman (Conquest, ex-Virtuocity), Jukka Nummi (ex-Myon), Emily Leone, Tomi Viiltola (ex-Dreamtale, Perpetual Rage, Viilto) and Matti Auerkallio (Katra, Manzana, SoulFallen), “Virtuality” is a unique storyline about the virtual world, and the dangers of sharing everything in social media, along with up-tempo power metal songs combined with darker elements.
The story album is backed up with lots of background vocals, sound effects and a “narrator”/system voice synthesized with Amazon’s Alexa.
The album introduces the best parts of power and progressive metal combined, including easier up-tempo songs, but also long, progressive mid-tempo tracks. The songs take influence from such bands as Stratovarius, Dream Theater, Symphony X and Rainbow. Especially on tracks “Digital Tower” and “Ghost of Yesterday” where influences from Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore are easily heard.

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – April 19, 2021
For fans of Symphony X, Dream Theater, Stratovarius, Queensryche, Nightwish
Rockshots Records: Finland Prog Power Ultimatium New Music Video “Digital Tower”
New Album “Virtuality” Out Now!
Finland power proggers Ultimatium are sharing their new music video “Digital Tower” in support of their epic theme album “Virtuality” released this past November via Rockshots Records.
Music Video – https://youtu.be/PAyIWipJLYI
The band comments on the track:
“Digital Tower is a very aggressive, but low-tempo song, the heaviest and most symphonic song we’ve ever made. The song is heavily influenced by these three songs: Rainbow – Stargazer / Stratovarius – Season of Change / Black Sabbath – Heaven & Hell. And shows the full potential of the character sang by Jukka Nummi. As seen on the video, this song has very special meaning for Jukka since Matti gave him the full artistic freedom to use his Ronnie James Dio-vocalising style at full strength.”
Ultimatium was birthed out the deep forests of Suomussalmi, Finland. Their 4th studio full-length “Virtuality” follows their independently released “Vis Vires Infinitus” (2015), “New Dawn” (2004, Mastervox Records), and “Hwainoo” (2008, Mastervox Records).

Rockshots Records: Finland Prog Power Ultimatium Reveal First Single “The Seer” From New Album “Virtuality” Out Nov 27th
Featuring singer Emily Leone from Lost In Grey, “The Seer” is the first single off “Virtuality”, the epic theme album from Finland power proggers Ultimatium set to be released on Rockshots Records on Nov 27th.
“The Seer” can be heard at the following links:
Music Video – https://youtu.be/rO02419CN-Y
Spotify – https://spoti.fi/3jcraB6
Packed with five amazing lead vocalists, Peter James Goodman (Conquest, ex-Virtuocity), Jukka Nummi (ex-Myon), Emily Leone, Tomi Viiltola (ex-Dreamtale, Perpetual Rage, Viilto) and Matti Auerkallio (Katra, Manzana, SoulFallen), “Virtuality” is a unique storyline about the virtual world, and the dangers of sharing everything in social media, along with up-tempo power metal songs combined with darker elements.
Ultimatium‘s mastermind Matti Pulkkinen comments new song:
“The Seer” introduces the character sang by Emily Leone properly and tells listeners about her special abilities and gives hints of her sudden death in the story. The track has a lot of keyboard leads and a new way of guitar riffs never heard in Ultimatium before: from very high octave instead of always playing the riffs from the low end. Also, some Taurus pedal is heard in the background of the verse”

0 Rockshots Records Signs Finland’s Ultimatium For Upcoming Album “Virtuality” Out Nov 27th
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – September 10, 2020
For fans of Symphony X, Dream Theather, Stratovarius, Queensryche, Nightwish
Rockshots Records Signs Finland’s Ultimatium For Upcoming Album “Virtuality” Out Nov 27th
Rockshots Records is proud to announce their latest signing of Finland prog power quintet Ultimatium for the release of their upcoming album “Virtuality” due out on November 27th, 2020.
Ultimatium was birthed out the deep forests of Suomussalmi, Finland. Their 4th studio full length “Virtuality” follows their independently released “Vis Vires Infinitus” (2015), “New Dawn (2004, Mastervox Records), and Hwainoo (2008, Mastervox Records).
The premise behind “Virtuality” is an introduction of a storyline of four gamers getting stuck in a virtual reality game in a near-future setting. Each vocalist guest has their own, distinctive role in the story and drummer Matti Auerkallio sings the role of the villain (clean & crunch). The story album is backed up with lots of background vocals, sound effects and a “narrator”/system voice synthesized with Amazon’s Alexa.
The album introduces the best parts of power and progressive metal combined, including easier up-tempo songs, but also long, progressive mid-tempo tracks. The songs take influence from such bands as Stratovarius, Dream Theater, Symphony X and Rainbow. Especially on tracks “Digital Tower” and “Ghost of Yesterday” where influences from Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore are easily heard.
The band adds:
“‘Virtuality’ keeps Ultimatium moving towards more progressive atmospheres without completely forgetting the roots of the band. Packed with five amazing lead vocalists, a unique storyline about the virtual world, and the dangers of sharing everything in social media, along with up-tempo power metal songs combined with darker elements. The full length is a dramatic experience that should be listened from the first track to the last and will be a must-listen for all theme album enthusiasts.”
Ultimatum will be revealing three singles in the coming months leading up to its official release on Rockshots Records on November 27th.
