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.

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.

Burn
Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burn, Satan, burn
The separations coming, the sheep from the goats
There are only two sides, no inbetweeners hope
For all our friends that you've got hold
They don't know you've made them slaves
But I'll be glad when your damned, time won't delay
Burn, Satan, burn
Burn, Satan, burn
The separations coming, the sheep from the goats
There are only two sides, no inbetweeners hope
For now we must deal with it as it is unto this day
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, so we'll be glad to say
Burn, Satan, burn
Burn, Satan, burn
The song "Burn" by Ultimatum is a call for the damnation and destruction of Satan. The opening lyrics repeat the phrase "Burn, Satan, burn" as a sort of mantra or rallying cry. The song then goes on to discuss the concept of separation and the idea that there are only two sides - those who follow God and those who follow Satan. There is no middle ground or compromise in this worldview. The lyrics indicate that Satan has enslaved people and held them captive, but the singer pledges to continue praying for them even as they await Satan's ultimate damnation.
The song touches on the idea of spiritual warfare, with the lyrics referencing the biblical phrase "we wrestle not against flesh and blood." It can be interpreted as a call to arms for Christians who believe in the literal existence of Satan and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Overall, "Burn" is a very straightforward song with a clear message. It's a passionate call to action against Satan and a reminder that there are consequences to the choices we make in life.
