Babylon Doom Cult Records and Unru are proud to announce the release of Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten (The Return Of The Repressed). The second full-length by atmospheric black metallers Unru is set for release on 4 March and shall come in CD, digital and LP format. The first revealed track - "Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten" - is available in the player below.
German band Unru was founded in 2012 and made an immediate impact with their monumental MMXIII demo (re-released on vinyl by Supreme Chaos Records in 2018), to be evolved upon by split recordings with Paramnesia, Sun Worship and Tongue, as well as their disturbing and ferocious debut full-length album Als Tier ist der Mensch nichts in 2016.
It took Unru six years to craft a worthy successor to Als Tier ist der Mensch nichts, yet with Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten the now five-piece band is finally about to unleash its sophomore album as a grandiose statement: an unstoppable maelstrom of sound; a five-song sonic tour-de-force, which, aside from the band's trademark sound, leaves behind the band's early traces of chaotic German 90's hardcore or American apocalyptic crust, further opening up the gates of ever so deep blackened gloom and fury, and balancing dissonance and harmony to sheer perfection.
This album is the distilled essence of all their prior releases, sounding now the most black metal, without once stumbling into traps of worn-out paths this genre ever so often sets. Five emotional songs fueled by the question of what actual freedom and revolution are within the individual as well as the societal I. The five songs reformulate Unru's pillars of furious black metal, blackened doom, fragile ambient and glorious Mount Eerie-esque immortality to an amalgamation of emotional purity and existential angst.
