Melodic doom and death metal band from Leeuwarden in Friesland, the Netherlands, active since 2016. Their sound blends the sorrowful melodies of doom with death metal's heaviness from the Frisian capital.
Unowned is an atmospheric doom/death metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, crafting slow, immersive compositions that draw comparisons to acts like Lycus and Konvent. Their 2014 track Two Rivers of Suffer offers over six minutes of down-tempo doom death.
Formed in London by former Press To Meco members Jake Crawford and Luke Caley, Unpeople blend ferocious grooves and layered noise with infectious pop-punk melodies. Their self-titled 2024 debut EP earned immediate acclaim from Metal Hammer as the UK's most promising first impression of 2024, and the band has already opened for Metallica in Austria.
Unperfectum is a melodic death metal band from Chelyabinsk, Russia, founded in 2006 in the industrial Ural city. Their 2017 album Neomenia spans nine tracks across 40 minutes, addressing social commentary and existential themes through atmospheric melodic death metal.
Unperson is a thrash metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2019 and delivering aggressive, riff-driven thrash from the Russian capital. The project channels classic thrash energy through a modern production lens.
Unplexiety is an experimental technical death metal band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, active since 2015 and exploring themes of space, science fiction, philosophy, and human consciousness. Their discography includes the albums Anomalies of Consciousness and Messorem, pushing the boundaries of death metal with progressive and experimental structures.
Brutal groove and death metal band from Barcelona, Spain, whose 2019 EP Mors in Victoria explores themes of technology's impact on society and obsessive devotion. Their earlier 2013 album A Subtle Taste For Tragedy established their punishing blend of groove and death metal.
Unprocessed are a German progressive metalcore band from Wiesbaden, formed in 2013, known for a highly technical but sleek sound that moves between djent, progressive metal, alternative rock, pop, R&B, and electronic textures. Guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes is central to the band's identity, bringing virtuosic extended-range guitar work, precise rhythmic phrasing, and a clean melodic sensibility that helps separate Unprocessed from more conventional modern metalcore. Albums and releases such as In Concretion, Perception, Covenant, Artificial Void, Gold, ...and everything in between, and later material show a band constantly shifting the balance between heaviness and atmosphere. Their songs can move from glassy clean-guitar patterns and soft vocals into dense syncopated riffs, harsh vocals, and wide digital production. The collaboration with members of Polyphia around Real also highlighted the band's connection to a broader world of guitar-forward modern music. Unprocessed matter because they make technical metal feel stylish and emotionally fluid rather than purely athletic. The playing is impressive, but the real appeal is contrast: synthetic polish against human fragility, brutal rhythmic weight against smooth melody, and progressive ambition shaped into songs that still move.
Unprocreation is a blackened death metal band from Cali, Colombia, formed in 2020. Their debut release, the EP "Eonic Metanoia" (2020), delivers five tracks blending black, death, and doom metal influences. The band channels a raw, extreme sound rooted in the underground metal scene of Colombia's Valle del Cauca region.
