Finnish power metal band Ultimatium has issued the following update:

“After some discussions and planning, we as a band have decided to first record a four-song promo representing four of our songs that were heard live last summer. This promo is anticipated to be ready by the end of this year and will be distributed as a physical version as well as (probably) free to download. Drums were recorded yesterday and video camera was also recording and some footage of that will also be visible sometime. From the video you can actually see Tony [Qvick, drums] nailing ‘Ce’es La Vie’ with a single shot, on the first take, that was supposed to be a practice shot.”

Ultimatium earlier in the year parted ways with Mastervox Records because “musical differences and visions about [the] third album [from Ultimatium] between artist and label were just too apart.”
