Unverkalt dive aggressively into harsher territory with Oath Ov Prometheus, a new single accompanied by an equally striking video that shows the band at its most confrontational, and their post metal foundations evolving into a distinctly harsher expression.
The new song relies on juxtaposition. Death metal intensity rises to the forefront, pushing through the band's more atmospheric inclinations. In this one, Unverkalt allow fierceness and elegance to coexist, as emotive vocals soar, and superb instrumental work shifts between heaviness and mastery.
Thematically, Oath Ov Prometheus builds on the myth of humanity's genesis, interpreting it through an alternative, darker lens. The song explores the false perception of grandeur and how mankind raises itself to authority in order to justify conquest, survival, and self-preservation.
The accompanying video enhances the overall impact. Its cinematic scale oscillates between dreamlike beauty and outright nightmare, taking the horror aesthetic to eerie new heights. The visuals heighten the menace, accentuating the sense of dread and magnitude that Oath of Prometheus has to offer.
Their new album Héréditaire arrives on February 27th, 2026 via Season of Mist.
