Unprocessed

About

Unprocessed isn't just pushing boundaries; they're shredding them to digital dust. This German quartet has carved out a distinct niche by fusing the intricate technicality of progressive metal with the infectious energy of pop and electronica. Imagine Polyphia having a jam session with Daft Punk, and you're getting close. Founded by guitarist Manuel Gardner Fernandes, Unprocessed initially gained traction with viral guitar playthroughs showcasing his prodigious talent. However, they quickly evolved beyond instrumental virtuosity. Their albums, like "Covenant" and "Gold," demonstrate a sophisticated songwriting approach, layering complex polyrhythms and djent-inspired riffs beneath soaring, melodic vocals. They masterfully employ electronic soundscapes and autotune, not as a crutch, but as a textural element that enhances their avant-garde sound. Unprocessed’s constant touring and online presence have cultivated a devoted fanbase, drawn to their technical prowess and willingness to experiment. Recent collaborations with artists like Polyphia’s Tim Henson and the release of singles like "Die on the Cross of Entertainment" hint at a band poised for even greater sonic exploration, blurring the lines between metal, pop, and something entirely new.
