About Ultha

German Black Metal band Ultha may espouse a different set of values than most. While not ends of the spectrum - Ash Borer at one end, Neurosis at the other - the Germans occupy a peculiar place, where the main thematic information isn’t part of an external mythology but rather a deeply internal input. Certainly, darkness prevails across Ultha’s discography, but it’s not of or in response to Abrahamic tentacles. Or, anything inspired or informed by such things. Rather, Ultha convey the shadows of personal struggle, the demons of doubt, and the fires of failure. Both musically and lyrically, these factors play a role in the way Ultha approach darkness in Black Metal.
