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.

Temple of the Spirit
Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Repent of evil ways, don't ever stop.
Come before the throne of grace, bow to Deity,
For you're set apart for worship of His Majesty.
No need to go to some sacred hall,
God doesn't dwell there, behind stone walls.
No need to run to the priest to pray,
Torn in two, the curtain falls. The Spirit's Temple, inside us all.
The temple veil now split in two. Ushered his presence,
Inside of Temple of, Temple of the Spirit
Lift up your holy hands down on your knees,
In supplication, He'll hear you plea.
Acquanted with suffering, (was) tempted as we are,
Our mediator Jesus the Lord.
Torn in two, the curtain falls. The SpiritÃs Temple, inside us all.
The temple veil now split in two. Ushered his presence,
Inside of Temple of, Temple of the Spirit.
(Acts 17:24)
In "Temple of the Spirit," Ultimatum urges listeners to repent and turn away from evil to worship and bow down to the divine majesty. The opening lines encourage the audience to discard their priestly robes and put on sackcloth, adopting a symbol of mourning that is meant to reflect their contrite and humble attitude. The subsequent verse draws attention to the fact that God does not necessarily dwell in a sacred hall or behind stone walls; instead, he resides within the body, which is referred to as his dwelling place. The song highlights the idea that every person has the potential to become a temple of the spirit and that one need not look outside oneself for access to the divine.
The chorus of the song underscores this idea, emphasizing that the temple veil has been torn in two, granting humanity access to the spirit's temple within. The song encourages listeners to lift up their hands in supplication and prayer and reminds them that their mediator, Jesus Christ, understands their suffering and temptation, having been tempted himself in human form. "Temple of the Spirit" reinforces the power of the individual to access and worship the divine, without the intercession of a priest or physical religious structure.
