Whilst it seems that most of the american metalcore bands are calling it a day after the recent announcement regarding both Chimaira and Shadows Fall throwing in the towel, Unearth have some different plans. Announcing the release of their new album Watchers Of Rule. With the new single “The Swarm“, its very much the Unearth that we have all come to know and adore, with Buzz McGrath firing on all cylinders but at the same time being familiar has a certain dark edge to it that previously wasn’t shown. This could be a slight evolution for the band, which is a good thing. Although the band know how to write the best metalcore there is, they have come very close to writing the same albums one after the other. That being said its not a ground breaking new sound they’ve tapped into, but baby steps are being taken. Mark Lewis was on production duties for this album as well as having the position of bass player filled in by a certain Mark Morton from everyone’s favourite Lamb of God, check it out below.
