23.07.2008 - ULTERIUM RECORDS - JULY UPDATE

So many things are going on right now, so we thought it was time to give you all an update.

The new Incrave album "Dead End" is now released in Japan through Soundholic, and this is the start of what we believe to be a great co-operation with Soundholic. Since they are concentrating on the same type of melodic metal as we are, and are a very established label, we feel very honored in working together with them.

The new Harmony EP "End of my road" will be released August 11th, and can be pre-ordered through our webshop. We're also currently finalizing the release of the full-lenght album "Chapter II: Aftermath", and we'll make the release dates official very soon.

The up-coming Theocracy album "Mirror of souls" has just been mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland, and the result is really great! The last pieces of the artwork is being put together right now, so we'll soon post release dates of this great album aswell.

We're also working hard at re-releasing the first [and long out-of-print] Harmony album "Dreaming awake", a release should see the light of the day late fall.

That's all for now, thanks for your support!

Ulterium Records owner Emil Westerdahl shares that excitement, saying, “I’ve been a fan of Theocracy since the release of their debut album, and I'm thrilled about this opportunity to work together with them on Mirror of Souls. This album will surely be received very well by both critics and fans, and exciting times are definitely ahead for Theocracy!”
