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.
5. Romanian death metal band.
6. Columbian Oi band.
7. American rap group from Toledo, Ohio.
8. Female fronted heavy metal band from Mexico City. formed in 1984, they released 2 albums. "Ultimatum" in 1986 & "No Te Detengas" in 1989.
11. Heavy metal / thrash metal band from Izhevsk, Russia. Formed in 2007. They released 2 singles, 5 EP-albums and 1 full-length album.
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.

Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slammin' hard, a neck snap reaction
Never gonna stop, never give in
Metal From the heart, it flows from within
Turn it up, push to eleven
Feel the power rush flow from the heavens
No we can't give up, no not give in
Neck Snappin'
Fist Pumpin'
Head Banging
HEART OF METAL
Bang yer head, yer fists in the air
Jump in the pit, let me see some hair
Studs and leather and headbanging fun
In the metal scene, this is how it¹s done
Dont like guitars, better move along,
Cause we let it rip in each and every song
Don't care what's cool, don't care what's in
Metal from the heart, flows from within
Neck Snappin'
Fist Pumpin'
Head Banging
HEART OF METAL
"Heart of Metal" by Ultimatum is a tribute song to the metal music scene and its fans. The opening lines of the song, "Hit the Lights, Bring up the Action/Slammin' hard, a neck snap reaction" serve to energize and ignite the listener's passion for the genre. The lyrics "Never gonna stop, never give in" symbolize the resilience that metalheads possess in the face of adversity. The song defines metal's essence as being the music of the heart, which flows from within. The music of the genre is powerful enough to make the listeners switch to an entirely different mode, which is not easy to find in other music genres.
The lyrics further emphasize the energy of the genre in the lines "Turn it up, push to eleven/Feel the power rush down from the heavens." The image of the power of the heavens' flow reinforces the idea of metal music being a divine experience. The lines "Bang yer head, yer fists in the air/Jump in the pit, let me see some hair" invites the listeners to participate and become fully immersed in the music scene. The final set of lyrics, "Don't like guitars, better move along/Cause we let it rip in each and every song/Don't care what's cool, don't care what's in/Metal from the heart, flows from within" highlight that the metal scene is not about pleasing others or keeping up with trends but is about expression, passion, and loyalty to the scene.

You have such a sensitive voice, Scott. ;)
I have high respect for drummers who can make double kick drumming sound like a machine gun fire! \m/ I have a feeling that guitarists also knew what they were doing. Finger vibrato rules!
Now I know where the heart of metal beats,
