| Until I first head Ultimatum tunes on their myspace page, I had this stereotpye of Christian music as very poppy, very sappy, and just overly safe. So did my friends. Actually, none of us even thought there could be Christian thrash, let alone death metal (I still find that hard to believe).
Anyway, when I first heard Ultimatum, I couldn't believe my ears. "This is Christian metal? This rules!" I decided to make it my task to show this music to all of my metalhead/rocker friends.
Here's how it went: I would say "tell me what you think of this", and play about a minute of "Death Wish". They all said "dude, that's killer. Who is that?" And I'd say, "that's Ultimatum. They're CHRISTIAN THRASH!" Their jaws dropped. It was the best when I did it to my friend Joel, who's a death metal freak and laughed at me when I first told (before I had listened to it) about Christian thrash. He loved it so much he asked me if I could burn him a cd of it.
Even though, after setting money aside for Megadeth and Iron Maiden tickets, I have 60 dollars left, I will be ordering Into The Pit in the next few days.
Ultimatum, you guys are making an impact in my area. Rock on! |

| I love Ultimatum likewise, and like you, I love sharing toons with my friends. They all dont like it though, I guess not trendy or fashionable enough for them . I wish there were people like you guys on HOM that can appreciate good music living in my town. |

I'm sure the guys will agree that getting the message out is important, but in order to be able to continue doing that, the band needs financial support as well. Mention to your buds to try to set aside a few bucks and order the original, if possible. You can usually find Ultimatums cds below the typical market prices, as well. Oh, and their t-shirts are KILLER too!!! _________________ UNCLE SAXON'S CRAZY CD SELLOFF! |

Yup. you can pick up the CD pretty cheap on Amazon, TheEndRecords.com, CDBaby.com, Nightmare Records, etc.
