Serena Excellent release from Calgary, Canada stand out's The Unraveling. They really set the tone from the first second of the album. Amazing instrumentation & layered vocals gives you a rebellious feeling that cannot be denied. "Enough is Enough" was my favorite track on the album. I love a song with a meaning that moves you. This is a beautiful mixture of revolting lyrics and a repetitive hook that will be stuck in your head the rest of the day. Cannot wait to see where this talented band goes next. Favorite track: Enough is Enough.

Marko Segura Love the strong Industrial beats of this alternative rock masterpiece.
This album goes around many parts of the spectre of rock music. Strongly produced and executed music.
Tottally recommended! Favorite track: Revolt.

Bradley Rust A powerful album that'll punch and kick at you until you give in and admit you are hooked. On the surface the sound is prog with a hint of industrial, but not really able to be placed in just one box. Delve into the lyrics and the songs are quite deep and full of purpose. They are the point where those punches and kicks connect. I love that it's hard to find bands to compare the sound to, they've come up with somethng truly their own, not an easy feat these days. No filler on this one. Favorite track: Master Drone.

Bree Morcroft I'm a sucker for a strong production, If it sounds great loud, that's my first tick and I'll give two for this. A real big sound without being all up in your face, you can hear everything going on, and there is quite a lot. From its calmest moments, to its most confronting, this album has a message and delivers it in style. I'd love to hear these songs in a live environment, I think they'd really shine. Dark, moody and powerfully bold in sound. Both thumbs up here! Favorite track: Out of the Depths.

Rhett Huebschmann After continuously hounding these good fellas on Facebook, there's finally an option to support this great album! The Unravelling's music follows no specific genre, as each song brings something different to the table, creating an album that not only can you just press play, but you can set your player to repeat, as well, and it won't sound redundant. It's like a genre mix tape, but by the same artist.

I've got a loaded barrel filled with zeroes In case anyone tries to be a hero A little less beast and a little more Sage Roulette cocktails for the next New Age Cut out the Hydra's Heart The fines are high but the protest is free Get your permission slip and come sit next to me Who's that hiding in the corner of the dream? Hyena's child laughing at the thought stream Cut out the Hydra's Heart Stretch my wingspan across the game plan Give the human no place to stand Stretch my wingspan across the game plan I Am That I Am Don't steady the ship Let's merge with it Bend with it's will and not fear the kill The face embraces the mask The character plays the man The dreamer moves through liquid fear as best he can

Lucky Me 03:32
Poor fool crying please In the gutter on his knees To win the favor of his muse To have it all and nothing to lose Lucky me I have no control I have no choice I've got no soul I've got no voice Baby blue gets his breast Hero of the day beats his chest The billions get programmed and optimized As their leaders distract and strategize Lucky me I have no control I have no choice I've got no soul I've got no voice The one you're looking for is not me No membership...I guess I'm just free The Universe is in my hand Why would I need a place to stand?

Ousted from the kingdom We sit on the steps Waiting at the gates Digging for the scraps You may aim to improve the thing you think you are Feeding the mirage Remembering every battle scar Liar! Upon the throne of wisdom Tear a hole in the collective vision! No one to save Nothing to search for Nothing to become Let the colors run Nothing to communicate No word to spread No power to accumulate Illusion is dead For beliefs will fall and knowledge dies In a clearing the corpse draws flies Don't be caught off your guard now Don't be naive Take off your frightened mask and breathe Liar! Upon the throne of wisdom Tear a hole in the collective vision!

Out of the depths I run Through the terror and apathy You've become dead to me Free from bondage and will I tun Through the walls and veils of belief Forward, rest is not tempting me In and out of vessels I run Into the soft caress and the swift blow And none affect me A tourist in this world I run Like a man aflame Whose name is of no concern Fail! Fail! Burn the self-image Fear not what will be left All Hail! Mountains bow down Fear not The time is now to tear it down You spoke up when it was time to shut your mouth I am your twin I am the killer of the doubt Fail! Fail! Burn the self-image Fear not what will be left All Hail! Mountains bow down Fear not The time is now to tear it down I appear to myself in the absence of time Slice my hands on the skyline Arms outstretched into open space Empty vessel takes my place

Bathe in the sandstorm Bring us to rights Carry the firstborn through perilous nights All are shades blending No work on it's own Cage them Separate them None are alone Release the seals Let it bleed Action now Choicelessly In the soil The fearless seed Fires of change Come for me There's smoke in the doorway Blue light pouring through Armies of intent Forge what is true The gates are wide open and the guard has left his post Human being/doing Face your ghost Release the seals Let it bleed Action now Choicelessly In the soil The fearless seed Fires of change Come for me Longing is a fool's prayer The shadow knows the man's there

The cogs move freely from station to station to see where they fit in the plan Ready to protest the death machine With a permission slip from the man Painting the egg Never crack the shell A beautiful actress famous in Hell A plot of land, pray to maintain A little piece of the Great Mundane, yeah Enough is enough they say And the words reverberate Each one plays their own drum And they syncopate

Master Drone 05:37

The night is long and full of ceremonial fury Purifying smoke No inside or outside Everything bleeding through Oceans of color bury deep The thought of I or you When the tide turns red Fire in your head All your foes have gone Dance to no one's song Blazing arrow fly Crack right through the sky Veil falls to the ground Strawman burning down Beautiful Your thoughts impure Your failure to comply Unravelling all programming Your mind an open sky

Revolt 04:37

No problems The waves are crashing high The tide is coming in No use in asking why No time for running There's no snag on the trail It's your mind in the way Processing for all of us Predicting our decay We have no problems Everyone obsessed with the outward force Programmed with drama and pain The hopes of the masses dragged across the rocks Playing the human game That which concludes spreads Finality on the open sea The tower crumbles in celebration Your face is lying on the ground Earnest seeker, you're so serious Don't you know the veil's already down? Meaning is a corpse...and we mourn Dogma thrives in certainty Violence in authority Pain in opinion Fear in the minion No problems The waves are crashing high The tide is coming in No use in asking why No time for running There's no snag on the trail It's your mind in the way Processing for all of us Predicting our decay We have no problems
