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.
