The writing has begun...

In the last few weeks Ultimatum have been writing new material. We have a couple songs worked out, and another in the works. One is actually completed called "Blood on a Thousand Hills". It's heavy and fast. A real thrasher. I'm also working on the lyrics to a song I started when I was in Once Dead. It will be titled Scattered (Body Parts). We hope to record a new demo in the next couple months to shop around to some labels, though Retroactive is still in the picture.

We also tried out a new guitarist this past week. We may be going back to a two guitar band.

2 guitars really suites your style better IMO. Looking forward to the new stuff. See you in August!

It will be titled Scattered (Body Parts).

Is it in any relation to the song "Body Parts" that ended up on the Once Dead record?

I don't know. I don't really know what that song is about, but I did give Doug the idea for the title Body Parts. When I was still in the band I started writing a song called Body Parts. I called Doug and told him about the song and the lyrical direction. He told me he had a similar idea and apparently he liked my title, 'cause he used it. So yes, this was a song I started while in Once Dead but no, it's not really any relation to the song that Once Dead wrote. (Not that I know of anyhow.)

Well i can't wait to hear your version. I'm expecting it to be a little more tightly played than the OD song. I know i'll most likely prefer your vocals as well.

It's not the same song.

It's not even remotely the same song. Just a similar song title. As a matter of fact, the music for this song isn't even written yet, just some of the lyrics. LOL! As a matter of fact, I'll probably change the song title all together to avoid any confusion.

agreeing with the title change..its a little creepy! just saying!

looking forward to some new ult!!!

What's wrong with a little confusion, or should i say friendly competition?

LOL! Well, it's not a competition. I just thought I had a great idea for a song and since it didn't get used, I'm going to use it for Ultimatum.

Nice! But I am GREEN with envy!
