FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Puppet of Destruction and Fatal Delay BONUS

cool!!! Will order ASAP. Just need some money first.

Ordered!!!

BTW, Bill. I'm sending you a pm.

I got so carried away by the votes and LEX METALIX album delay, that I forgot about the re-release of this album. I just made my pre-order. I hope I ordered on time to get my fatal delay demo.

You did.

Just checking, do you have my order? Does Roxx Records let you know who ordered?

No idea who has pre-ordered. Sorry Bgast. Bill checks in her on occassion so hopefully he can answer you question.

Im eagerly awaiting mine! I cant wait to hear the production difference.

We are not remixing this, so the limitations of the 90's digital production and mix are still there. However, the overall sound is much improved. It's beefier and has more bottom end. I like what I heard. We are also including three extra tracks, the original version of "Never" that got us signed to Rowe Productions and "Sins of Omission", which we recorded around the same time and at the same studio. The final track is a new version of "Mortal Stomp" recorded at the same studio we recorded Into the Pit, Til the End and Lex Metalis.

The Fatal Delay demo will not be remastered. We want it to sound exactly as it was. It was a demo and needs to stay that way. However, this will be the first time it is available on CD.

I'm sure that all is ok with it, just wanted to check,

I pre-ordered ages ago. But today I got an email that my money was returned. Any idea why?

Here's the slightly altered cover art

Cover looks good, ult. Will there be things added to the booklet?

Yes, the booklet will omit the lyrics in favor of liner notes from myself, Steve Rowe, Bill Bafford of Roxx and our own Kmorg. There are also a ton of photos of the band from this era of the band.

I'm glad that Roxx Records saw fit to re-release this CD.
Of all the past Ultimatum CDs, this was the one
that needed proper mastering the most. The bottom end was always
missing from this album, mostly due to the original mastering. The
limitations of the 90's digital studio we recorded at will always be
present. We thought about re-recording the album, but instead opted
just to have it remastered, keeping the integrity of the original
recording and the line-up from this album. I hadn't actually sat down
and listened to this CD in years. Some of these songs we still play
live, but other than those, I hadn't heard many of these songs in
nearly a decade. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that album. The
songs are actually quite enjoyable. Charged/Power is among one of my
favorites. I sort of wish the bass guitar would have been a bit more
present in the mix, but otherwise this is a killer speed metal song.

Those lucky enough to get one of the first 100 pre-order copies will
get a 2-CD version with our Fatal Delay demo on disc two. To be quite
frank, I'm not fond of this demo whatsoever, but it does represent a
time in the history of Ultimatum. The demo also features the first two
songs that Robert and I ever wrote together in Plea for Holiness and
Fatal Delay. Plea for Holiness never went past the demo stages, but
Fatal Delay was recorded again for the Symphonic Extremities release.
The demo section features an extended middle section that is a bit too
long IMO, which is why we cut it down when we recorded it again the
second time. The 2-CD version will also include a 4" x 4" insert of the
artwork from Fatal Delay. That cover was designed in Photoshop in 1993.

I am very thankful to kmorg from Metal-Metropolis, Steve Rowe from
Mortification and Bill Bafford of Roxx Productions for the liner notes
and thoughts on this release. It's nice to know that something we
recorded over a decade ago is still remembered by others.[/quote]

Great job, guys -this gets more exciting the more you reveal! You're packing in a lot of different goodies on this one, too, to make it well worth everyone's money! I imagine quite a few people will be buying it a second time, so it's awesome to see such value added!
