Ultimatum
The Mechanics of Perilous Times... This
is the third album from these New Mexico thrash
monsters, and without a doubt their best so
far. Ultimatum cranks out straight up, old-school
thrash metal. Or, as it states on the album
packaging, "Unrestrained, fist clenching,
neck snapping, head banging Heavy Metal!" I
can't think of a more fitting description,
so we'll just leave it at that. This is an
album full of double kick-drums, thrashy guitar
riffs, cool, screaming solos and raspy vocals.
Vocalist Scott Waters sounds like a mixture
of Exodus' Steve Souza and Bobby "Blitz" from
Overkill with his gritty, reptilian tone and
the occasional death growl. Guitarists Robert
Gutierrez and Steve Turjillo both sport heavy,
distorted rhythm tones and good feel on the
solos. Their riffs are a mix of classic heavy
metal and Bay Area Thrash with plenty of head
banging and mosh parts. Drummer Sean Griego
and bassist Tom Michaels are the quintessential
metal rhythm section, driving the tempos and
gluing the whole works together nicely. "
