| If you've wondered if there's any metal in the world untainted by the new metal or core trends, Ultimatum is here to answer. And the answer might make you get a migraine as you attempt to whirl you hair at 1,000 miles an hour. They fly the freak flag of metal high and seem darned proud to do it. Into the Pit brings Ultimatum up to levels that comparisons to Tourniquet, early Deliverance, even an Exodus or Testament would not make people blink. The production levels are stellar, with enough rawness to please the thrash purist yet letting each instrument shine. Machine gun riffing, uber fast drumming and a vocalist who sounds like he eats nails, (from the looks of him I think he might) all the hints of greatness on past albums come together to form one awesome package. The songs are strong,all of them, tackling issues and no holds are barred lyrically, letting you know they stand for truth and the love of God. How I wish radio would find these guys and have the guts to put this into rotation. Real metal that needs to be heard. Anyone into heavy music owes it to themselves to check this out. Just have the aspirin handy. I just do this once in awhile. I'm not a musician so I write from the point of view of the fan. Eh. |

| Fan reviews are often the best reviews. Thanks for posting this review.

| I have to say that was what a review should be. A nice paragraph, covering instruments, vocals, songs, and production with a taste of commparison to other bands. A usual Amazon review has the "fan" dissecting a cd tune by tune and rating each accordingly. If I wasn't a fan already and stumbled across this paragraph, it would of caught my interest enough to check out what the band brought to the table. wow...did I just give a review of a review ? I thought I got enough sleep last nite |
