Progressive boundary pushing quartet Unprocessed have returned with their intense new single “Thrash” and have announced the release of their third studio album “…and everything in between”, set for December 1st, 2023. The masters of merging guitar-driven and virtuosic flavours of pop, rock and metal – Manuel Gardner Fernandes, David Levy (bass, synths), Christoph Schultz (guitar) and Leon Pfeifer (drums) embark on the next chapter of their journey.
Watch the stunning video directed by Leo Feimer and produced by the band’s own Leon Pfeifer below.
Firmly established as an innovative force in in the progressive music world, and lauded for their unique approach that transcends genre barriers, “Thrash” is one of the most extreme tracks Unprocessed have created. Beautifully melodic, intensely brutal, technically jaw-dropping and packed with hooks – it’s truly mesmerizing and unlike anything else.
The band comments: “‘Thrash’ is the ultimate composite of everything Unprocessed has ever created, ranging from the styles of our tracks ‘Covenant’ to ‘Gold’, while adding brand new never explored elements to our style. This new direction could be described as ‘Futuristic Thrash Metal’ and will hopefully create a moment for modern guitar playing and the innovation of new playing styles. With vocal hooks reminiscent of bands like Linkin Park, ‘Thrash’ lyrically deals with the odd effects of a fever dream and its twist on reality of the person experiencing it”.
“Thrash” is the first single taken from the upcoming album, “…and everything in between” is, a bold and complex record pushing the boundaries of technical musicianship, song construction, sonic production and more. Inspired by the emotions conjured from life experiences, Unprocessed have channeled their raw visceral power through their musical talent to create this special record. Never before could one have considered a band being likened to artists as extreme as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Polyphia and Bring Be The Horizon, yet Unprocessed have done it. This is “Futuristic Thrash Metal”.
On “…and everything in between”, the band are: “Taking all influences and combining them into an ultimate evolution of everything Unprocessed has ever been, while still adding a new flavour and style to the mix. Epic riffs with intricate licks and mind-bending rhythms, brutal breakdowns, epic guitar solos and big and catchy choruses.
‘…and everything in between’ can quite literally be described as everything in between the extremes of life. Dealing with anger, sorrow, nostalgia, love and fear the album reflects on the different shades of a personality that everyone is made out of (e.g. there is evil in everyone)”.
