Wed., January 7, 2009

New Mexico based ULTIMATUM have announced that they will head into the studio immediately to begin recording an album of covers titled, “Lex Metali” which translates to “Metal is Law”. The band will be recording the album in Albuquerque’s Site 16 Studios.

ULTIMATUM is scheduled to record METALLICA’s “Creeping Death”, MOTORHEAD’s “Iron Fist”, VENGEANCE RISING’s “Can’t Get Out”, MOSHKETEER’s “Locked in Chains”, JUDAS PRIEST’s “Steeler”, MORTIFICATION's "Gut Wrench" along with 6 other songs.

LEX METALI is scheduled for release in 2009 via RETROACTIVE RECORDS

LEX METALI, ON YOUR KNEES!! :hails:

Couldn't work in Denim and Leather, I guess...

That is too bad, cuz I know Robert could make that tune his own. And it is one that has hardly ever been covered.

Congrats!!!

Cool, but I think it should just be called Metal is law straight up instead of the latin name or whatever.

Awesome news!

Ahhhh, don't be too quick to dismiss. We were playing around with that song at our last practice.

Hey Ult, any ideas for the actual cover of the cd? Will this be another Rexorcist production?

I'm in agreement with the Metal Is Law title as well. Lex Metali sounds like a porn name or something.

Looking fwd to hearing it.

Good stuff, best of luck with the recording

Awesome! Can't wait. Any Exodus or Accept covers? Will you re-record any songs you've already covered (like "Sins of Omission")?

Do I get royalties or anything?

Accept. No. We talked about doing one, but didn't come up with a song we could agree on.

Exodus. Possibly. We have a couple in our list. I'm shooting for "Thrash Under Pressure".

Fingers crossed, I'd love to hear a track from the Impact or Fabulous era.

Seriously...I was listening to HALL & OATES today and someone needs to metallically f*** Up "Family Man"....it could be killer!!!!

Lex Metali?

As a casual fan, that gives me no clue that this is a covers album.

I hope that hardcore fans are paying attention and know that they are buying an album of cover songs and not new Ultimatum material.

I'm going to assume that everyone who's a 'hardcore fan' is already here.

Not defending this because I suggested the idea (it really doesn't matter), but why does a band need to title a covers album in a way to make it known it's a covers album? A little sticker on the cellophane can do that.

If there is a sticker indicating that it's a covers album, then I have no problem with the album title.

Similar to what the Offspring did when the re-released their debut album but put a sticker on it stating that this was not new material.

Awesome Scott! I personally dig the title.

I can just see a bunch of weekend warrrior headbangers believing that Ultimatum wrote Creeping Death.

Yeah me too. LATIN, FTW!!

I look forward to hearing your lot cover 'Creeping Death'. I have the feeling that my knowledge of the other stuff on the album may be a tad patchy.
