Unearth: Metal Blade

Massachusetts has a reputation for producing many of the country’s top metal bands, and within its eight years as a group, Unearth has helped foster that opinion. The five-piece group is touring in support of its fourth album, “III: In the Eyes of the Fire” (released last summer) and will be at Sokol next Thursday. The band has played South By Southwest and the MTV Headbangers’ Ball Tour, and ... toured with metal heavyweights Slipknot.

This release features interviews with the band, bonus materials and plenty of footage of the musicians clowning around backstage.

From the screechy guitars and shrieking vocals to the prevalence of the cymbals, Unearth mimic the treble-intensive Metalcore of Dillinger Escape Plan, Earth Crisis and others. On their recordings, every note and word explodes forth on a tide of passion. Live, their high jumping stage antics are a menace to ceiling panels wherever they play.
