THE GOOD!

Ultimatum - ... til the End
Ultimatum is back with a brand new EP, 6 very catchy thrash songs that will please many, I can say without a doubt that this release contains some of the best Ultimatum songs written. And as being kind of a 'teaser' for the next album, t makes me look forward to Into the Pit. Also note that this release is handsigned and numbered by all members, and is limited to 300 copies. The album features a live version of Blink, great quality for a live song, and shows that they're tight live ! Furthermore it contains Heart of Metal, a real metal anthem as they call it, a tribute to the genre, with great riffs and simple but effective lyrics. Also on the EP is a Testament cover called Sins of Omission, this shows a whole other vocal style than we would normally expect of Scott, but still they came out good, it also has some scream/squeel which gives a nice vibe. This song is totally different, but still sounds like Ultimatum, so they did an outstanding job covering it. The other 3 tracks are all new and are, if I'm not mistaking, going to be on the next full length, real 'in-your-face' thrash that we expected from these guys. Throughout the EP we get a nice amount of guitar solos, some more impressive than the other, but all tight and fitting the music. ...til the End has good production quality and would be called a must for all thrash fans, sad enough it''s already out of print and sold out. So many will have to wait for the new full length Into the Pit for more of these guys.

.TIL THE END! (2006) ROXX PRODUCTIONS (Limited Edition EP, #9/300)
After being in the studio recording new material for an upcoming new full length release, the guys in Ultimatum figured it would take longer for them to get the final product finished. Thus they decided to give the fans a treat while waiting. So, in collaboration with Roxx Productions, they released this 6 track Limited EP. Only 300 CD's were printed. '...Til The End!' includes demo versions of 4 tracks that will appear on the new album, a live version of "Blink", recorded in Anaheim, California in August of 2004, and the cover of "Sins Of Omission" the boys recorded for the Dwell Records Testament tribute album. But it is the new songs that are the most interesting here. Although, when I say new, that is not exactly right. The song "Heart Of Metal" (the bands first metal anthem) has already pumped my blood up on various occasions, as it has appeared in several live shows the last year, and various video footage have been circulating on the net. It also appeared in a different demo take on the Christian Metal Realm compilation released in 2005. As a whole the new tracks are very much in the thrash metal mold. This is yet another logical step from the last release, and the band have never been heavier! Everything is once again been turned up a notch. Scott Waters has never sounded better, and more varied. The guitars are blazing, and the ultra fast riff in "Heart Of Metal" will leave your jaw dropped to the floor! All of the 4 tracks are amazing, and amongst the best the band have ever delivered. This is certanly the most dynamic material from Ultimatum yet. I can't wait to hear the complete album, with more songs, and finished mixed songs!

Ultimatum - ...til the End, Roxx Productions (Oct. 06)
Few and far between are bands that progress with each release without changing or modernizing their sound. This limited EP contains the best songs I have yet to hear from Ultimatum, who retain their Exodus-influenced thrash metal style. One cannot help but move the ol' noggin to these six songs. Especially to standout cuts "Deathwish" and "Heart of Metal". Be sure to get it before it's gone.
