1. Vegan straight edge hardcore band from New England. Ultimatum is Cesar Gonzalez (vocals), Nick Birtles (drums), Trang Anh Le (bass), Harrison Sacco (guitar), and Evan Stein (guitar). Tommy Harte was also in the lineup for the first gig, playing bass, before quitting because he doesn’t fuckin’ know bass. They played their first show in December of 2021, and their second show in March of 2022, dropping a demo in November 2022. Stylistically, they are inspired by bands such as Throwdown and Black My Heart — heavy, moshable riffs with downtuned production with literate and intelligent lyrics that make reference to theorists such as Nick Land and Foucault, all while maintaining a straight edge theme. Members are also in notable bands such as Anklebiter, Broken Vow, Pummel, and Ill Comm.

3. Ultimatum were an influential hardcore punk band based in Melbourne, Australia.
Ultimatum formed in 1995 and were the first vegan straight-edge band in Australia. They appeared around the same time that Earth Crisis released the definitive record 'Destroy the Machines'.
Ultimatum were also one of the early Australian bands to introduce the modern 'new school' metal influenced form of hardcore to Australia. They were also recognised, not only for their vegan straight edge stance, but also for their emotional and politically charged lyrics.
They garnered a following around Australia, Asia and in Europe with the release of their first self titled EP in 1997, recorded by engineer Scott Harper.
Ultimatum's second EP was a split CD released on Melbourne based Trial and Error/Shock Records, with highly regarded and now defunct hardcore band Not for You. This release promptly sold out and is now a rare item.
During their time, Ultimatum performed with international bands H2O, Strife, Vision of Disorder, Sommerset and Australian bands Mindsnare, 28 Days, Vicious Circle and many others.
Ultimatum disbanded in 2000. Members of the band have gone on to perform in other outfits in various music genres. Some of these bands include Within Blood, Hitlist and Retired Poets League.
4. French Ultimatum released two albums: Rébellion in 2000, Jeunes et Européens in 2002. The band has split.

12. Ultimatum is a late-1980s-styled thrash metal band from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
Ultimatum has been hard at work finishing up their fourth full length album called "Into the Pit". Recorded in their home town of Albuqerque, NM at Site 16 Studios with producer Ysidro Garcia at the helm of this project this is sure be the essential Ultimatum CD to obtain.
Blind Faith
Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Science becomes your deity
Your ever changing philosophy
Forever searching you will be
Foolishness of humanity
Trust in false Ideologies
Origin of life is not a mystery
Searching for your destiny
The answer is not a mystery
It¹s found in the one true deity
Jesus Christ, my reality
BLIND FAITH
To believe
You must have more faith than me
Blind Faith
To believe
From nothing something came to be
Sacrifice the truth
On the alter of a lie
Trusting in theories
Instead of my God
"Blind Faith" by Ultimatum is a powerful song that examines the notion of faith and its basis. The opening lines focus on piety and science, pointing out how science has supplanted religion for many people. The ever-changing philosophy mentioned in the lyrics is a reference to the way that many people search for meaning in their lives, shifting from one ideology to another as they seek answers to the big questions.
The next section of the song delves into the foolishness of humanity, noting that we often trust in false ideologies and theories rather than seeking the truth. The lyrics suggest that the origin of life is not a mystery like many make it out to be, reminding the listener that they came from a loving Creator.
The chorus is a plea for the listener to abandon blind faith and seek the truth that is found in the one true deity- Jesus Christ. Rather than trusting in theories, the singer encourages the listener to trust in God.
