Additionally, the band recently premiered a lyric video for the song Kentoon Tapetut entirely in Finnish via YouTube here. An English translation in the video description.
Pelon Juuret was recorded with producer Kari Nieminen at Noisecamp studios in Turku, Finland at the end of 2012 and continues in the direction of the group’s previous work, offering up a furious fusion of d-beat hardcore crossed with a highly creative touch of atmospherics —as if Mogwai made a record of Tragedy covers or From Ashes Rise were influenced by Explosions In The Sky.
UNKIND previously released five full-length albums and a handful of vinyl-only releases. The band’s catalog is available for streaming via their official Bandcamp page here.
Additionally, the band is confirmed for a series of Finnish dates including LPRHC and Back 2 School Fest.
