NEWS: Ulthima follow the path of the raven…
Exploring the journey from fearing death to accepting it as a natural part of existence, guided by the symbol of the White Raven, a new single from Ulthima blends mythological imagery and reflection on mortality, portraying death not as an end, but as a passage into eternity. It’s the first from an as yet unnamed and undated album looks set to continue the Epic Melodic Death Metal sound the band are known for.
Guitarist Ricardo Escobar: “White raven is one of the last songs I wrote for this album. It’s one of those that come out of nowhere with just one small riff and rapidly developed in a full length song. It always felt very organic while it was put together and definitely one of the best ones in the album.
Lyric wise I wanted a deep topic for it. While it is a bit cliche talking about death and all that, I felt it was a fitting for this song as it is something we can all relate to.
With this album, we set out to sharpen and define our identity as a band. Instead of pursuing a polished, overly perfected production, we embraced a rawer and more organic sound that captures the intensity and spirit of our music. We wanted the album to feel alive—heavy, aggressive, and honest—while preserving the human element that often gets lost in modern productions. The result is our most authentic release to date, a record that reflects who we are as musicians and delivers our vision with power, atmosphere, and conviction.”
