From Greece’s underground metal scene, UNVERKALT surface with intent. The post metal collective’s third full length, Héréditaire, is expected to be their heaviest record to date, and also their most human and most resolute. There’s a sense of lineage and rupture woven into its core, as if the band are reckoning with what’s been inherited and what must be erased.
Lead single Die Auslöschung moves slowly before dramatically snapping out of its spell with a bombardment of hot blast beats. It's collapse in slow motion, one moment thrilling and the next devastating.
Firmly entrenched within the formidable ranks of Season of Mist, UNVERKALT have found a home that matches their ambition. If the debut single off Héréditaire is any indicator, the group is growing and getting ready to dominate.
