Ultimatum - Into the Pit (Release Year - 2007)

Ultimatum Into The PitIf Thrash Metal is your thing, Ultimatum has released a record that you must seek out!

Ultimatum is a Christian thrash metal band that has been around since 1992. Don’t let the Christian thing fool you! This is 100% pure heavy metal.

Into the Pit features the razor sharp vocals of Scott Waters. His style may not be for everyone, but extreme metal fans are likely going to love this. His style is almost Death Metal like, but unlike many singers who fall into the cookie monster trap, you can understand the lyrics. At times, Waters often reminds me of Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies. Often Into the Pit is a heavy record, that compares sonically to 80’s thrash metal. Fans of bands like Overkill, Testament and some early Metallica, may find something to sink their teeth into here.

On Into the Pit, the guitars are fierce, the lyrics and vocals are intense, and the drum beats are driving and sometimes insanely fast.

I don’t recall any recent albums of this style being this good. Retroactive Records has found one hell of a band with Ultimatum. My favorite cuts on this disc are Heart of Metal, Into the Pit and Game Over. This isn’t usually the style of music that I listen to on a regular basis, but when I want to hear some new thrash metal, I will be grabbing for Ultimatum’s Into The Pit.

Buy Into the Pit and Play it Loud! For more information on Ultimatum, check out their myspace page.

Now there's a comparison for your vocals that I've never heard before, Ult.

Yeah that comparison to Mike Muir is even more off the wall than the John Tardy comparison someone made.

I don't really hear the similarity either, but I guess this reviewer did, so that's cool. Who knows, everyone gets something different out of music, that's one of the cool things about it.

As for the "death metal" comment. I suppose you could compare the vocals with bands like Sadus and Death at times. I have heard that before. However, I certainly wasn't going for a death metal growl.

The Heart of Metal video thats on that page is pretty darn good! I'm guessing this is from the upcoming Ultimatum dvd?

It's the rejected video from the DVD. The final version is FAR superior to that one.
