Ultimus Sacratum

ULTIMUS SACRATUM Ultimus sacratum was formed in Helsinki, January 2007. Actually the first five months the band name was 'Dream Liturgia', then we had several suggestions for the band name and Peuge finally decided the name 'Tears Of Magdalena'. The idea was to play gothic/symphonic/melodic metal, combining female classical singing with male growls. After one year of hard work all efforts were paid when we signed a deal with Scarlet Records. We found Tero Kinnunen (known also from Nightwish) who was really interested in recording and mixing our debut album. So, recordings started in February 2008 and Mika Jussila from Finnvox studios finished with the mastering at the end of May 2008. It was great pleasure to work with such professional persons. We had couple of gigs during the summer but then Japanese biggest record label, Marquee Avalon also wanted to release our album. They wished to have a bonus song only for Japanese markets. Therefore, we went back to the studio to record a song called 'October Rust'. This is really great opportunity for the band to get publicity also in Japanese markets! After having problems with Vasstago for several months, we decided that our bass player, Tommy, takes over the male singing parts. During fall we were training for gigs, and also we were working hard with promotion. Just before album release we started to have disagreements with Magdalena Lee and decided to go separate ways. However, we were fortunate to find very talented classical singer Jevgenia. She has all qualities we were looking for: beautiful classical voice, strong experience and great personality. Jevgenia is also known from famous symphonic metal band Kivimetsän Druidi and she has been touring around Europe with KmD/Korpiklaani. ANNOUNCEMENT: we (former tears of magdalena) have changed our name since the beginning of 2010 to ULTIMUS SACRATUM!
