Utarm is the experimental black metal project of Norwegian musician Sindre Foss Skancke, based in Oslo. Since the early 2000s, Skancke has been the sole force behind Utarm, handling all instruments and vocals. His music blends elements of black metal, noise, and drone, delving into themes of depression and human pathology. Notable releases include "Apocryphal Stories" (2012), praised for its intense and avant-garde approach, and "Crawling Altars" (2017). Utarm's sound is characterized by its raw intensity and unorthodox structures, offering listeners a profound and immersive experience.
