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.

Warlord's Sword
Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the hands of the LORD, will pierce the caverns of your soul.
Bring's conviction, bleeds the sin, cuts you to the core.
Reveals the darkness of your heart, and points you to the LORD.
WarlordÃs Sword/The Word of Truth,
Wars against the flesh.
WarlordÃs Sword/The Spirit's Call,
Crafted perfect in every way, no flaw is found within.
Tested in the fires of time, the opposition cannot win.
Stronger than steel and forged by God, for the battles we must fight.
Waging war upon the flesh, His ways are always right.
Declaring war on His Word, with truth they have their fight.
Wisdom calls but can they hear?
Who can battle with His might?
For by the Word we shall live or by it we shall die.
Will you join the Warlord's side, or will it you despise.
The lyrics to Ultimatum's song Warlord's Sword speak of the power of faith in God to confront and overcome one's inner demons. The "sacred steel" and "blazing sword" are analogies for the Word of God, which is sharp and precise enough to cut to the core of one's being and bring about conviction for one's sins. The song speaks of the fight against the flesh, and the test of one's spirit in the face of adversity. The Warlord's Sword, which represents the word of truth, will be the way in which one can confront and overcome the temptations of the flesh.
The song also speaks of the perfection of God's creation, and the fact that there is no flaw within it. The sword has been tested over time and has proven to be stronger than steel; this reflects the strength and perseverance that one can derive from an unwavering faith in God. The lyrics also imply that those who reject the Word of God are effectively waging war against it, and can never truly hope to succeed. The song ends with a call to choose which side of the conflict to align oneself with: the Warlord's sword or its despisers.
