Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
Listening to Ultha is comparable to standing in front of a marauding grizzly bear completely without any defense whatsoever: overpowering, hurting, and most likely lethal. Their hallmark blend of atmospheric black metal is among the most entrancing I have ever heard and should serve as an inspiration for other bands. Instead of just adding a layer of synth and calling it a day, Ultha goes the extra mile - they play with depth, exertion and your expectations, resulting in a transfixing voyage. David Fischer
