Ultimatum's next cover song?

I think doing something of Annihilator's would be cool. Not many covers of them around.

You should cover something that's not metal, like Santana or something and make it all heavy!

I actually suggested thrashing up a Keith Green song. That would have been fun.

go far out and cover something like a Ted Nugent song and make it more thrashy

Oooh, yeah! Something like "Paralyzed" would UTTERLY kick ass with the Ulti-thrash treatment!!!

Also seems that "Grinder" is a choice that caused a bit of an uproar among some of our Christian fans.

Quote :

I would not question your right to do what you want. But the choice of probably Priest's most "gay" song is a major turnoff, and would probably prevent me from even buying the record. I'm really surprised a Christian band would even consider covering this, Scott.

I'm fairly certain that whoever made that statement about "Grinder" is a practicing homosexual since he is obviously adept at that type of interpretation.

Don't let the Churchians have any say in this project, Scott. The more you piss off their pet religious spirits, the more you are moving in the right direction! And if none of them buy it, you'll probably sell more copies that way because everyone else will like it even better!

In fact, why not do "In League with Satan" by VENOM and REALLY piss them off!!!

BRILLIANT idea!

Haha! Or Possessed, or Mercyful Fate.


No, if Ultimatum does a JP song, I'd kinda like to see Screaming For Vengeance covered...nice, heavy, upbeat song, and would fit Ultimatum well, I think.

...if anything from the Tim Owens years is considered, something from Jugulator might be cool. I haven't heard it in awhile, but I remember there being some pretty heavy ones on it.

You know, I was listening to Nuclear Assault today, and the song "Sin" from Game Over is actually a very cool song, lyrically, and could easily be viewed from a Christian point of view. Plus, it's a killer song musically:

Sin

I wander through the streets at night
Lost and cold, alone
Bloody visions fill my dreams
My heart is like a stone
A stranger comes out of the mist
Backons to call me near
He leads me down the path of hate
Down the road of sin

Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me
Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me

I fight o loosing battle now
To keep myself controlled
But it seems like no one cares
I'm about to lose my soul
Selling that whith God gave me
For a price of gold
To travel freely into Hell
Has become my goal

Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me
Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me

Now a willing servent of Hell
Lucifer, my friend
All of those who oppressed me
Are about to meet their end
The Queen of Hell my willing smurf-for-hire
The dead hear what I say
The cost to me has been my soul
For these sins I've paid

Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me
Can you can you canyou hear me
Can you can you canyou see me

Now I've died and Lucifer
Reminds me of my debt
Now it's time to lose the soul
That Satan shall collect
Looking back upon mu life
At the waste it's been
The cost was high, the price was great
I've paid much for my sins.


Kind of a warning about what will happen if one continues in sin, to me.

It would be cool if Ultimatum covered that one!!

I know you're all having fun with this, but I think all the nominations are in. We have a list that we'll be choosing from. This album's not even a 100% for sure yet.

EXODUS - Thrash Under Pressure
EXODUS - Toxik Waltz
OVERKILL - In Union We Stand
OVERKILL - Wrecking Crew
OVERKILL - The Cleansing

One each by these two bands are essential, IMO, since you have such a similar style to both of these singers.

MOTORHEAD - Iron Fist
JUDAS PRIEST - Grinder
JUDAS PRIEST - Steeler
SAXON - Denim & Leather
MSG - Armed & Ready
BLACK SABBATH - Hole in the Sky
BLACK SABBATH - Symptom of the Universe
METALLICA - Creeping Death

All of these would totally float my personal boat!

"Legend Of Wooley Swamp" by CHARLIE DANIELS BAND

I'm hoping for one of each of those bands as well. I'm also hoping for the ANVIL song, since it's both ANVIL and an ode to hockey!

I'd love to hear you guys do THE TEMPTER by TROUBLE

Tourniquet already did it so it would be kinda redundant.

Great version, too.

Keith Green's (Lies) or (Cut the Devil Down) thrashed up would be cool!

No, I think DC just wants to hear a GOOD cover of it.

Indeed, I'd like to hear an ULTIMATUM version of it. I was pretty sure they're two different bands

Yeah, it can become like a Metallica tribute compilation where 10 different bands cover the same songs.

Not to mention, like Spec said. I dont like Tourniquets cover.

What didn't you like about it? The heaviness? Gary's vocals?

Gary's vocals blew it for me.
