Unto Others formed in Portland, Oregon in 2017 — initially under the name Idle Hands — out of the dissolution of traditional metal act Spellcaster, led by singer and guitarist Gabriel Franco. The band revived gothic metal's classic sonics alongside post-punk and new wave influences, drawing comparisons to Sisters of Mercy and Type O Negative at a time when interest in those sounds was resurging. Their second album Strength (2021) on Roadrunner Records and third album Never, Neverland (2024) on Century Media solidified them as one of the most prominent acts in the gothic metal revival.
