Unverkalt

Emerging from Athens in 2017, UNVERKALT was born out of an instinctive urge to give form to grief, memory, and emotional unrest.

Guitarist and composer Themis, along with vocalist Dimitra, set out to create something unfiltered, heavy, and honest — an intention that would later crystallize in their 2020 debut L’Origine du Monde. With this release, UNVERKALT established a presence within the European post-metal underground.

With raw, multifaceted vocals woven into post-metal and avant-garde textures, UNVERKALT began to shape a sound that is slow-burning and emotionally charged. Influenced by European cinema, visual arts, and the complexity of human experience, their music unfolds as an immersive narrative, balancing heaviness and delicacy, dissonance and beauty.

Their 2023 follow-up, A Lump of Death: A Chaos of Dead Lovers, garnered widespread critical acclaim, including a 9/10 review from Metal Hammer Greece, and marked a clear turning point in both tone and direction. Inspired by the cult atmosphere and violent crimes of the 1970s, the album explored the space between obsession and romantic decay. The sound became heavier, more immediate, with the band’s alternative influences now pushed to the surface with greater clarity and force.

Now rooted in Berlin, the current incarnation of UNVERKALT – Dimitra (vocals), Themis (guitars), Christian (drums), Eli (vocals/guitars), and Joscha (bass) converge to produce their most primal and emotionally charged creation to date.

What comes next is not a continuation, but a descent. UNVERKALT’s cinematic and avant-garde impulses are now laced with shadowed intensity—blackened textures swirl beneath the surface, rupturing into moments of raw force. Their sound is evolving into something darker, more primal, and wholly untethered—an experience that promises to be their most visceral and immersive yet.
