Ultimatum is a band that's been active for years. This is their third album I think. So far I only heard one of their songs; Never, from the 2000 The Second Coming compilation album. This album is the first time to get really acquainted with Ultimatum's music. The Mechanics Of Perilous Times is mainly a heavy thrash album combined with a little death. The basis is thrash but besides howling, biting and snarling vocal performances, there are death growls like in the song Perilous Times. Shroud Of Science is a speedy track while Muta Mitlu is an interesting instrumental piece, perhaps my favorite cut with its excellent solos. The album also contains a cover of the 1988 Vengeance Rising classic Burn. This version stays close to the original but I still prefer the VR one. The Mechanics Of Perilous Times is a heavy pounding metal album though I'm not entirely satisfied. The playing is very good and yet the songs can't always fascinate me. Maybe this thing has to grow with a few dozen listening sessions. Available through [email protected]
