Unverkalt are a Post-Metal band who live in Germany but come by way of Greece. Their third album since joining Season of Mist has been announced as Héréditaire, the band’s “heaviest and most heartfelt offering.”

The band’s guitarist and chief composer Themis Ioannou, says about the album:

Our aim has always been to blend softer, more romantic elements with extreme chaos. With Héréditaire that time has now come. This album is a lament for what is far older than our very existence. It speaks of what seeps through generations, searching for an answer to one pervasive question: What do we carry that was never ours?

The album’s lead single “Die Auslöschung”, out now with a video, like the album “shifts between colors, textures, even languages.” This album also adds new vocal styles.

Ionnou says:

We love to experiment with every album. With Héréditaire, we wanted to introduce extreme vocals because they bring out all these heavy feelings. It’s like they’re shaking you awake.

The band adds:

This album is not meant to resolve, but to dissolve patterns from those who came before, faceless yet familiar. The colors have drained. What remains is veiled in black, not as a symbol, but as a truth that covers everything.
