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.

Crash Course
Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ignoring the signs like lifeís just begun.
Eternity is a long time to place into the hands of chance.
So many asking, so many searching,
the truth is right before their eyes.
Life is but a small speck,
In a vast eternity, arise.
Crash Course with Eternity
Faced with the truth, c'mon what will it be
Crash course with Eternity
Life's not a game why can't you see
In an instant, life can change;
one minute your here then your gone.
Mortality is a short time but
Spiritual life will never die
I've said it before I'll say it a gain,
delay can be fatal, in the end.
In betweeners won't survive.
In a vast eternity, arise.
So it shall be, the end of the age,
angels shall come to separate,
sever the wicked from the just.
How much longer will He wait
'til his patience turns to wrath.
Eternally separated.
In a vast eternity, arise
Living life like in reckless abandon,
ignoring the signs like life's just begun.
Eternity is a long time to place into the hands of chance.
So many asking, so many searching,
the truth is right before your eyes.
Life is but a speck
in a vast eternity, arise.
The song "Crash Course" by Ultimatum talks about the importance of taking responsibility and control over one's life. It talks about how living life recklessly without paying attention to the signs is like playing a game of chance with one's eternity. The message of the song is that life is short and spiritual life never dies, so it's essential to make the right choices and take action towards achieving true happiness and fulfillment.
The lyrics warn against the dangers of delaying and procrastinating in making important decisions about one's life, and how it can lead to fatal consequences in the end. The song also touches upon the theme of judgment day, where angels will separate the wicked from the just, and the consequences of not making the right choices will be eternal separation.
One interesting interpretation of the lyrics is that they can be applied to various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal growth. It inspires listeners to reflect on their lives and evaluate whether they are truly living to their fullest potential.
