Ultimatum DVD

Checked out the DVD in progress today. This DVD has a TON of material on it dating all the way back to 1992. There are several songs on the DVD that never made it onto CD from the early years. It has video footage of Ultimatum's first show before I joined the band, my first show with the band at a small Christian festival called Sonshine '93. It has concert footage from shows through the years, some professionally shot, some shot with a camcorder.

It has interview footage as far back as 1992, which I had forgotten even existed. It has some funny behind-the-scenes footage. The footage of Robert giving a pre-show tour of the Mortification/Jesus Freaks/Ultimatum concert is pretty funny. He was the promoter of this show. There is footage of the band at practice. It will have the "Heart of Metal" video.

We still need to film some footage this coming summer, but we hope to have this thing out this year.


Any suggestions for things you would like to see, please let us know here and now.

Nice, Scott - Good luck with it!

- I would LOVE to see some live cover performances of some classic metal songs, filmed in a rehearsal room or something - That would be awesome!

There is some footage of us practicing. We practice at a church. The footage I saw had us playing "Violence & Bloodshed". It was the entire song.

Interviews with fans.

If you video tape yourself saying something about Ultimatum and send it to Peak Productions, they will include it.

I scanned through some of the DVD. There is a section called "Past
Shows with Commentary 1992-2001" that has us performing live various
songs through the years. Each song is played complete and the songs are
laid out chronologically. What I had a chance to see so far was:
"Holy
Sacrifice" (1992. First Ultimatum show. I wasn't in the band yet, but
was in attendance. This song was never recorded even in demo form. Greg
Dingess on bass.)
"Wickedness & Perdition" (1993. My first show
with Ultimatum in front of a handful of people in downtown Civic Plaza,
Albuquerque. This song was recorded on our first demo but never
released on one of our CDs. Mike Rickaby on bass.)
"Fatal Delay"
(1994. Opening up for the Jesus Freaks and Crashdog. The crowd was
huge. The song was one of my favorites at the time. )
"Megaton"
(1995. Opening for Mortification on their "Blood World" tour. Huge
crowd. Single camera angle on this one, but not bad considering the
video/audio source. Joey Anaya on bass.)
"Ode to Noise/World of Sin" (1996. Tom Micheals on bass. Opening for Mortification on their EnVision EvAngeline tour.)
"The Purging" (1997. Spotlights in Albuquerque, NM. Ultimatum with Extol.)
"Greed Regime" (2001. Playing on the outdoor stage at the Stryper Expo.)


I also saw Gutterbox (2004), Crash Course (2004), Violence
& Bloodshed (Live at practice 2007), Burn (2005), Blink (2006),
Blood Covenant (2006)... I know there is more, but that's all I've had
a chance to preview.

The Heart of Metal video is also included, as well as some "behind the scenes" footage from the video shoot.

There
is TONS of interview footage dating all the way back to 1992. There is
some really funny stuff like footage of Robert giving a tour of his
music store and Robert taking the camera through "how to set up for a
show" in 1996 (He's actually wearing a fanny pack!) There is an
Ultimatum sound check in the middle. Joey Anaya on bass. We played
"Blink."

There footage from Up from the Ashes, including an interview with Doug Van Pelt.

Rob has it.

Will any footage from New Mexico be included?

Yes. There are several shots in the Heart of Metal video shot in New Mexico, although more than half of the footage is from shows in California.
