ULTHA is a five-piece black metal band from Cologne (Germany) founded in 2014 after the members' old bands, such as PLANKS, GOLDUST, ATKA, IRA, etc. disbanded. Their music can roughly be described as a hybrid of US-Black Metal, (Funeral) Doom, Post Punk and movie score ambience. If you can imagine Leviathan and Emperor teaming up with Neurosis and Oranssi Pazuzu to play songs by Fields Of The Nephilim you might get an idea of Ultha's sound. Lyrically the band doesn't follow any classical metal clichés, instead ruminating about the inner darkness and sadness of our human struggle to find happiness and getting lost in its failures. The bands' songs are mostly between 10-20 minutes long and range from fast blast beats to slower and sludgier eruptions. With their hypnotic and melodic songs, as well as their captivating live shows, they were able to acquire a huge following in a short amount of time. By now Ultha has played more than 100 shows with bigger European and international acts in smaller clubs, on tours with bands such as Sun Worship (DE), Woe (US), Yellow Eyes (US), Unru (DE), as well as many appearances on selected festivals including Roadburn (NL), Brutal Assault (CZ), Party.San (DE), Dudefest (DE), Soulcrusher (DE), Saint Helena (DE), Doom Over Leipzig (DE), In Flammen (DE) and more. They established their own festival entitled Unholy Passion Fest in Cologne, which takes place annually in December. Ultha are one of the most prolific bands in the German music underground with more than a dozen releases to their name in the ten years they’ve been together. Their critically acclaimed second record “Converging Sins” found immensely positive feedback from fans and critics alike, establishing them as a unique band with a very distinct style. This granted them a worldwide deal with CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS. Said label released the band's third album “The Inextricable Wandering” in fall of 2018 which furthered the level of quality brought to the table. In 2022 Ultha returned to their house label of Vendetta Records to finish the trilogy of interconnected records with “All That Has Never Been True”, which ranked in the top slots of a lot of significant music media outlets and lists of fans alike.
Following their release of their conceptual albums “The Puppeteer” (2021) and ”Sentience” (2023), Mainz-based MONOSPHERE have shaken up the German prog/post-metal scene. Their single “The Unknown Voice” (May 2024) and direct supports shows for Karnivool, Cradle Of Filth as well as international tours with The Hirsch Effekt, DVNE and Wheel made them reach the spearhead of their very own niche. Their sound, self-described as Progressive Post-(Black)-Metal, turns pages to a new chapter when the band’s newest single “Lapse” releases as an overture of the band’s third full-length album.
