About two years after the official release of their EPĀ āĆtherealāĀ French post-metallersĀ UNBURNTĀ just shared a brand new single called "The Veil" and available right now.
The song will featured onĀ 'PROCESSION', the band's debut full-length album coming out on May 15th on LP & Digital through all platforms.
The gritty, doomy intro of āThe Veilā instantly reminded me of Ancestorsā Suspended In Reflections due to its organic atmosphere and power. The following part gets a little calmer, playing out in a dynamic interplay of harsh and clean sections.
Furthermore, the sound ofĀ UNBURNTĀ creates a somewhat bipolar experience, one that can be extremely aggressive and powerful, but also calm, patient, and fragile. After half of the song is finished, a very Gojira-esque tapping section comes in ā itās particularly reminiscent of their song āGlobal Warmingā because of its harmonics and melody. Very much unlike Gojira, though, Unburnt bring āThe Veilā back to its doomy post-metal sound, which soon sees another melodic guitar part being added.
āThe Veilā is a song that stands out thanks to its great contrasts, benefitting from Unburntās raw, organic, and energetic sound. The bandās rhythmic sophistication makes their doom parts even more aggressive and unique.
