Ulthima is based on a vision of guitar player Ricardo Escobar and bass player Antonio Valdés who are from the city of Monterrey in Mexico.
They tried for years to get the band started and played a few gigs but the metal scene in Mexico was difficult for new bands with a niche genre during that time. They wanted to move to Finland with the sole purpose of making music, and through some twists and turns as well as some serious hardships they finally ended up here in 2016, managed to stabilize their life here and started to focus on the band again. In Finland new members joined the band: Jon Welti on rhythm guitar, Niko Sutinen on keyboards, Ville Nummisalo on drums and Tuomas Antila on vocals.
The songs of Uthima are inspired by for example Children of Bodom and Kalmah, as well as some power metal bands that can be recognized from the themes of the lyrics and the less melancholic melodies than most bands in the genre.
