Greetings Ultimanaics!
First, allow me to apologize for not updating this news section for such a long time. For those interested in the news as it comes, please join us on the Heart of Metal Discussion board, where members of the band post daily.

"Into the Pit" has been out for a few months now and seems to be selling very well. There are many fan reviews on Amazon.com, CDBaby.com and iTunes. As well, the reviews are starting to come in from various magazine and web zines. We have finally posted some of the reviews in our discography section. Thanks for all the support.

We are currently working on our DVD release that we hope to have out in 2008. As a release date approaches we will let you all know.

There will be a feature story on Ultimatum in an up and coming issue of Heaven's Metal due out soon. There will also be an article on Scott Waters regarding the old "Puppet of Destruction" debate with Heaven's Metal.

Some old news is that drummer Sean Griego gave up his drum throne in Ultimatum to Alan Tuma, formerly of The Moshketeers and Combat Faith. Alan record four of the eleven songs on "Into the Pit".

We still have plenty of "Into the Pit" and "One For All" t-shirts available. Email ultimatums777@hotmail.com for details.

Keep thrashing!
Ultimatum

Please welcome the newest member of ULTIMATUM. Augustine Ortiz (guitars)

Augustine is an accomplished guitarist and has a lot to add to Ultimatum. Look forward to hearing him on Ultimatum's new CD coming out in the next couple months.

Rumors have been flying that guitarist Steve Trujillo is no longer with Ultimatum. Well, we regret to tell you all that the rumors are true. Steve has stepped down from the band for personal reasons. Steve is a great friend to everyone in the band and an outstanding guitarist. He will be truly missed. We wish Steve all the best in whatever he choses to do in the future.

We are currently auditioning guitarists to fill Steve's shoes.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Check out the new Ultmatum CD cover. We hope to have the new CD out by the end of January. We will have pre-order information on the site soon. (Special thanks to Rexorcist for the awesome job on the cover.) We are also thinking about printing posters for this design. We will keep you informed on the progress of this as well.

A big metal greeting to you all! Ultimatum have been busy over the summer performing a ton of shows, recording our new CD and even working on a DVD release. New photos have been posted from various shows.

Ultimatum at Up From the Ashes, 8/05

We are currently sending out demo CDs to several record companies to see if we can generate any interest. Since it might be a while before we do get out a new CD, we have decided to release an EP on our own. As of now, the EP will probably be six songs, five new cuts and one re-recorded song from our early material. We have also talked about including a cover song or a couple live tracks. As we have more information we will pass it on. I can tell you that the cover art, done by Rexorcist, looks fantastic! We will post the artwork for you all to see soon. The CD is tenatively titled "Into the Pit".

As for the DVD, it will include live material, shot at a few shows we did over the past couple years in California, a couple of concept videos, and a bunch of "bootleg" live footage from years past. There will be tons of extras, including interviews and some band goofiness as well. We dont' have a release date yet, but we will let you know when pre-orders can be made.

Finally, we apologize to those of you who bought tickets to see Ultimatum perform at Beyond the Mountain. The show in California was cancelled. We were glad to meet some of you at Up From the Ashes on that same weekend. For those of you hoping to see us in Chicago, we apologize but Ultimatum will not be performing. However, as some of you know, Scott is singing with Once Dead and will be there performing with them. Wear your Ultimatum shirts to this show and make sure you say hello to Scott.

8/21/05

Be sure and pick up a copy of the latest Heaven's Metal magazine that features an interview with Ultimatum. On Saturday night August 27th 2005 Ultimatum will be performing along with such as Neon Cross, Once Dead (featuring the former members of Vengeance Rising), Rivera Bomma, Laudamus, Tykkus and Tower of Hundred at the Up from the Ashes show. This show is in place of the cancelled "Beyond the Mountain" show. This show is to benefit and to support our brothers in Mexico at ‘Rockers Helping Rockers across the Nations’. As well, Blake Nelson from Oil will be joining Ultimatum on stage for a special performance. We are still busy working on our up and coming DVD release. The Up From the Ashes show will be recorded for part of this special DVD release.
