If a band's list of influences include groups such as Dead Can Dance, Tool, Opeth, Nine Inch Nails, Arcana, Jeff Buckley and Dillinger Escape Plan, you know their music will be good. This is the case of Calgary's The Unravelling, a progressive rock band whose music will steer you to descriptive superlatives such as haunting, intense, engaging, inviting, threatening.

The kicker of their music is the band is a duo; The Devil Has The Best Tuna penned the best description I've come across for the music of Gustavo De Beauville and Steve Moore: "For a duo they make an unholy noise with all the aggression of a feral pit bull on steroids. With it's recurring theme of being presumed dead and buried alive '13 Arcane Hymns' should come with a warning to agoraphobics."

Tons of bands have tried to sound like this; some have succeeded, most haven't. The Unravelling's music sends messages, building on itself as it takes you in and refuses to let go. Their debut album due out later this summer, 13 Arcane Hymns, is one of the most highly addictive albums I've heard and has reinforced my faith in that there is still great prog rock out there. If you are going to buy 5 albums this year, make sure this is one of them. Highly recommended.

Stalker Magazine, more press

Finland-based publication STALKER Magazine recently reviewed the preview version of The Unravelling's "13 Arcane Hymns", saying "The influences are obvious, nevertheless there is no copy or fake, you can hear the relations with the musical roots, but the creative power and the ideas of De Beauville & Moore open new perspectives and a wide range of feelings and mysteries. And how Steve Moore expresses himself with his voice from whispers to clear singing or extreme deathmetal-screaming is very impressive. An excellent debut, strong and complex with a lot of attention to the detail, very well recorded and mixed."Read the full review here.

Some Canadian support has come in for The Unravelling and we're pleased to have it! Popular Toronto based podcast/radio show My Living Room with host Cheryl Hoar recently played The Unravelling alongside The Shrines, The Noisettes, and King Khan. Check out the show's myspace here.

Turkish music website Blogger Schizo also reviewed The Unravelling, saying "The Unravelling öyle bir topluluk ki en azından kendine özgü müzik yapmayı arzulayan sanatçıların işaret edebileceği cinsten denilebilir. Bu ikili müziğe karşı çok hevesli!" And we most certainly hope that's a good thing!

New exclusive interviews and features on Radio Godmode, Evolution Rock/Metal and Razor Blade Dance Floor are on the way. And new music of course.
