Ultimatium

Ultimatium release 'Run Like the Wind' music video;

Finnish power metal band Ultimatium's fourth full-length album 'Virtuality' will be released on November 27th, by Rockshots Records.

Now, the second music video has been released, titled 'Run Like the Wind'.

Ultimatium's mastermind Matti Pulkkinen comments new song: "Up-tempo and a happy song shows the heroes of this album immortal and invincible, taking the story forward as they triumph in the game, unaware about the perils ahead. Song is mainly sung by Emily Leone with Viiltola helping in the verses. Song introduces some very high pitches and guitar/keyboard solo battling! And the song is backed full of C64 Sid lead sound! Game on!"

'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 new album is 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).

At the end of last month, the first music video was released, 'The Seer'. Matti Pulkkinen commented ont the 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. Track has a lot of keyboard leads and 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."
