Subject: Thrash Metal
Hi there!
I recently read an article in Wiki about Thrash Metal...it says
"Thrash metal has recently seen a certain degree of resurgence of popularity.[26] Bands including Municipal Waste, Evile and Gama Bomb have been cited as key in the "resurgence" of Thrash Metal.[27] The genre's sense of recklessness and energy has been cited as a potential reason for its resurgence. There's also many new underground thrash bands with old school feel, for example Actokill, Diamond Plate, Insinnerator, and Maelstrom.
Older thrash bands have continued to put out material such as Megadeth's Endgame (2009), Slayer's World Painted Blood (2009), Metallica's Death Magnetic (2008), Destruction's D.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N. (2008), Sodom's self-titled album (2006), Death Angel's Killing Season (2008), Kreator's Hordes of Chaos (2009), Exodus' The Atrocity Exhibition...Exhibit A (2007), Overkill's Ironbound (2010), Onslaught's Killing Peace (2007), Ultimatum's Into the Pit (2007), Testament's The Formation of Damnation (2008), Metal Church's This Present Wasteland (2008) and Voivod's Infini (2009)"
So to summarize ...Why on earth would you put your crappy band in this list along with these Thrash greats? Are you mocking this Article??? ULTIMATUM- Into The Pit, What the Smurf? Goddamn really , just Goddamn!!!! Out of my curiosity I downloaded your album and It was an ultimate boredom to listen to your voice, I did try to finish the second song but as soon as I begin hearing another repetitive smurf poo I immediately deleted the whole album (that's an honest act, I did not commit any form of piracy) I do hope it would be a cybercrime to edit Wiki someday, so that tryin-hard wannabe's like YOU would fukk-off
Godspeed and God bless
FUKK YOU!!!!
Sincerely,
ken turda

My response:
Hi Ken,
Thanks for taking the time to write such wonderful, encouraging words. I
appreciate it.
I don't have anything to do with Wickipedia. Ultimatum has a page there,
I didn't create it. But hey, I appreciate you letting me know about the
thrash metal page, I wasn't aware of it until you pointed it out. Glad
someone likes us enough to add us to that great list.
Finally, sorry you don't like Into the Pit. There's plenty of other
stuff to listen to, so why waste your time writing to me?
Blessings,
Scott

| I've received maybe 2 emails of that nature in the last 5 years.
You guys are the newest "older band" on that list. |

I receive letters like that pretty regularly thanks to NoLifeTilMetal. I'll be posting another one in my Hall of Shame in the next update. It's all cool though as I get 10x as many positive emails from people.
We don't belong on that list. Those are classic thrash bands that have been around since the 80's. Ultimatum has only been around since 1992. I actually agree with the guy, though I am certainly glad someone saw fit to make us a part of it. However since he decided to be a a$$ about it, I certainly didn't give him the satisfaction of agreeing or reacting in the angry way I am sure he hoped I would.
Then again, Voivod's Infini isn't a thrash album, nor is Metal Church's This Present Wasteland.

| Hey Ult. You responded to that letter quite positively well. I've enjoyed reading the Hall of Shame on your site, as it seems somewhat rather amusing (to me), to read correspondence from people who demonstrate some of the relatively minor ills of human nature. |

| You are WAY too nice to some of these toads, Ult. I've said this before but if I had a site like yours and received e-mails like that, my standard response would be a reply mail that simply said "BITE ME, ZIPPY!" in 72 point type.

That's the first thing I thought of too. If my last name was "Turda" I wouldn't be starting stuff. |
