UNFOLD – banshee o beast – CD digisleeve

With the release of the new album ‘Banshee O Beast’, Unfold continue to make way for some of the darkest sounds within extreme music. The pioneers of the European post-metal/hardcore scene, in which they’re regarded as one of the most influential and creative bands, deliver a dark and devastating record of rare quality. More direct than ‘Cosmogon’ (2011), the profile of the new album is clearly more driven, with faster tempos, an overall uglier attitude and an omnipresent sense of urgency. Unfold shatter the bonds of stylistical limitations and tendencies, and strive to spread the smell of blood all over this incisive record, which occasionally finds its equilibrium during a few and well balanced ethereal moments. In the end, ’Banshee O Beast’ leaves the listener with the taste of lead in the mouth.
