‘Transcendent Origins’ is a loose concept album that tells the story of a distant and fictitious future of mankind.
The album does not necessarily have a singular, unifying theme.
This can be seen both in the album’s lyrics and overall soundscape.
The lyrics contain discussion about transhumanism and the relationship between man and machine.
The tracks consist of varying styles of metal music because they are primarily composed to match the lyrics and their themes.
In other words, the overall soundscape of the album includes different kinds of musical styles to better serve the lyrical contents and themes of each track.
During the album’s creation, close co-operation with the mixer (A. Valtanen) resulted in a comprehensive and well-rounded whole, especially regarding the final overall soundscape.
Some of the tracks were composed to fit a more heavy profile, similar to modern metal music.
Conversely, other tracks were composed with a more melodical approach to better reflect, for instance, optimistic or proud lyrical themes.
Since the tracks are primarily composed by the two guitarists (Leinonen & Kinnunen), many tracks are quite riff-heavy.
Despite that, everyone in the band got to voice their opinions during the composition of the album and few ideas were outright dismissed.
You could say that ‘Transcendent Origins’ is an album that really matches its creators.

‘Vector Nebula’
composed by Iiro Leinonen
lyrics by Juho Kinnunen, Iiro Leinonen, Tuomas Juvonen
Finnish technical blackened death metal band Ulterror releases their debut full length ‘Transcendent Origins’ on March 29th 2024.
Third and last single before the album release ‘Vector Nebula’ is now available on music services.
Band tells about the song:
“‘Vector Nebula’ is a relatively fast-paced song that includes aspects from several genres, ranging from tech-death to black metal. Theme-wise, ‘Vector Nebula’ is akin to ‘Sublimations’. Each song tells a story of the great entities that stand guard between universes. As its name suggests, this vile being penetrates inside living organisms, polluting and destroying them completely. The cacophonic ending of the song represents the unfortunate fates of some of the brave explorers who fall prey to this deadly nebula.”

‘The Greater Sublimations Of Cosmic Panic’
lyrics and composed by Juho Kinnunen
2019 founded Finnish technical blackened death metal band Ulterror has released the first single from their upcoming debut album.
‘The Greater Sublimations of Cosmic Panic’ tells a story of a spacecraft’s crewmember who gets left behind in space.
The Eye of the Necrocosm is an entity that tirelessly guards the liminal space between universes and monitors its territory in case of intruders.
According to Lovecraftian tradition, anyone that meets the gaze of the Eye shall succumb to sheer unreasonable terror.
The protagonist of the song faces his final moment, being left behind and abandoned amidst the aether, while this ageless being breaks his mind once and for all.
This track is an apt representation of the album’s soundscape as a whole.
The diverse soundscape combines various layers of slamming riffs and bellowing vocals which help create an interesting blend of captivating and aggressive metal music.
