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.

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.

Ultimatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of angriness and greed
Of dominance and persecution
My mother was a queen
My dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be
Now I spend my time looking all around
Until I find him
I'm never gonna stop searching
Going to find my man
Gonna travel 'round
So long wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Hello wrathchild
I'm comin' to get you
Ooh yeah, yeah
Some say it shouldn't matter
Ain't nothing gonna alter
The course of my destination
But I know I've gotta find
Some serious peace of mind
Or I know I'll just go crazy
Now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him

Gonna travel 'round
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
