Ultar is a Siberian post-black metal band known for crafting atmospheric soundscapes intertwined with a profound sense of mysticism and the esoteric. Hailing from the heart of the vast and enigmatic Siberian landscapes, the band draws heavy inspiration from the work of American writer H.P. Lovecraft, often reflecting on cosmic horror and the insignificance of humanity within the larger tapestry of the universe.

Originally named Deafknife, the band adopted the moniker Ultar in 2016 and released the album "Kadath" completely reinvigorating their vision and sound. This conceptual album serves as a musical homage to Lovecraft's dream cycle, with each track offering an auditory journey into realms of the uncanny and the sublime. The band's commitment to live performances is evident in releases such as "Live in Kadath" and "Live at Stoned Petersburg," displaying their dynamic stage presence and the raw, emotive energy of their craft. Ultar's discography, which also features thematic releases like "At the Gates of Dusk" and "Innsmouth," solidifies their place in the metal genre as both narrators and innovators, weaving a web of darkness and transcendence through their powerful compositions.
