Pulse Ultra is a metal band from Montreal, Canada. The group released one album, Headspace, in 2002.

[edit] History

Childhood friends Dominic Cifarelli (guitarist) and Jeff Feldman (bassist) often gigged at local parties during the 1990s, forming the base for Pulse Ultra. It was not until 1997 until the two befriended the future drummer, Maxx Zinno and vocalist, Zo Vissa. In summer 2000, a chance meeting with Taproot's manager led to a record deal with Atlantic Records - and in 2002, their debut album, Headspace, was recorded and released.

Between late 2003 and mid 2004 they worked on the followup to Headspace. Unfortunately at some point during mid 2004, tensions within the band grew and Vocalist Zo Vissa was kicked out of the band. In a post on the band's official forum he stated that the split was amicable and they were all on good terms. Not long after he left the band broke up. They are now all involved in other projects.
