Unfurl - The Waking Void (2019) EN


Hailing from z Pennsylvania is Unfurl who three years ago debuted with their Deathbed, now they give us their second, so much different album called The Walking Void. So different that it finds it place on this, not so metal after all, blog.

Although Unfrul root from the hardcore-sludge stem, on their new album, the artists played with genre-mixing and created a work that "pulls equally from the extremes of hardcore influenced grinding death metal, all to more constrained counterpoints of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and progressive psychedelic rock". And this blend is so inspiring!

On one hand, there's the rapid and aggressive compositions together with the throat-damaging vocals, on the other, the vocals are somewhat hidden, the wall of guitars before it, and it's already close to blackgaze post-metal. It's started for good in Post-Modern Prometheus. And this title is exceptionally fitting, as the number of post-'s in the genres they like is impressive. In other moments, just as in Black Widow Hourglass, the Americans' music is almost pure, soothing and long-spread shoegaze with Alcest's vibes. Impressive.

The Waking Void costs whatever you want to pay.
