In the two years since releasing\u00a0‘…And Everything in Between,’<\/em>\u00a0Unprocessed<\/strong>‘s stock has risen. Partly through touring in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australasia alongside the likes of In Flames, Spiritbox, and Polyphia, but also through their complex brand of metalcore. That momentum has put them in a favourable position as they release their sixth album,\u00a0‘Unprocessed<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

While their homeland of Germany has built a reputation for developing metalcore bands, Unprocessed<\/strong> strays from what you’d expect from a band of that ilk. For starters, they have the musical dexterity of guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes at their disposal. He’s completed by a band who are able to support the heavy approach, both musically and lyrically.<\/p>\n

From the outset, Leon Pfeifer’s gunshot percussion and David John Levy’s frenzied bass fretplay elevate the rampant ‘111,’<\/em> before\u00a0‘Sleeping With Ghosts’<\/em> bounces with a djent-like drive as plucky bass lines throb. Meanwhile, Fernandes and Christoph Schultz’s duel gutiars slash through on ‘Snow Lover’<\/em> and\u00a0‘Terrestrial,’\u00a0<\/em>demonstrating their technical proficiency without sacrificing their blaring heftiness.<\/p>\n
