On february 9, somebody broke in to Ultima thule's studio in Nyköping, Sweden
and placed a bomb inside. The bomb completely destroyed the studio and the
adjacent buildings. All the original tapes for all bands on Ultima thule, and Attitude
records were perished in the flames as well as all the instruments and the original
paintings for all the album covers.

Things looked very grim for a while, and the band considered quitting. Fortuneally
for all their fans the band decided to keep playing but it's gonna take a while to
rebuild the studio, since insurance only covered half of the damage which was total.

A few days after the explosion/fire the band Hel started recording a support CD
for Ultima thule and all the profits from the CD will go to the rebuilding of studio
Valhall. A release date for the CD has not yet been set, but as soon as it is, rest
asure that you will find it here.
