Ultan, a voice from Ireland, carries the echoes of Belfast and London within him. Now, he steps forward to share his music, a collection of stories and reflections gathered over time. He’s a writer of songs and poems, a dedicated worker, and his music is colored by the spirit of rock legends, creating a sound that blends raw rock energy with appealing melodies.
His first song, “Reviled,” makes a big impression right away. It’s a powerful start, with a strong, energetic sound that grabs your attention. The music has a driving beat that feels both powerful and demanding. This creates a musical background that makes the strong feelings in the words even more intense, pushing the listener to face difficult truths. The song’s beat gives you a physical feeling; you can almost feel the weight of the message in each beat.
The words of “Reviled” talk about what happens when people are two-faced. The first lines say he doesn’t like “double life,” and the picture of “sheep’s clothing” shows how people can hide their real selves. The idea of being “denied access” suggests that this kind of lying won’t work in the end.

The song also looks at the idea of betrayal, especially when innocent people are taken advantage of. The line “Tim whistle blow, your rap indeed, and all your filthy deeds exposed” gives a strong image of secrets being revealed and people being held accountable. The phrase “The hammer falls” makes you think of justice that can’t be avoided.
The word “Revealed” is like a spotlight in this song. It’s not just dropped in; it echoes. It’s the core, the driving force. When Ultan sings, “Revealed, your web of lies, revealed from blinded eyes, now you can’t deny, it’s all out in the open,” it’s not just about knowing something. It’s about that moment when a dark shadow is pulled into the light, and you can’t hide from it. It’s when the fake face comes off, and you see something bad. This can hurt you and make you not sure who to trust.
The song expresses the very painful feeling of being betrayed by someone close, someone you trusted. Imagine finding out that someone you thought was a friend has been secretly working against you and taking credit for what you’ve done. This discovery, maybe by accident or through someone else’s words, causes a big change. The initial shock turns into a slow, painful understanding of how much you’ve been tricked. The lasting effects – the broken trust, the loss of innocence, and the difficult process of moving on – are reflected in the song’s final thought: “There’s no way back.”
“Reviled” is a strong exploration of how the truth always comes out. It shows how lies can hurt deeply. The song reminds us that it’s important to be honest and to face the truth, no matter how hard it is, if we want to heal and have real connections with others.
In the end, it gives a message of hope, suggesting that the truth, even though it can be painful, ultimately sets us free.
