While still possessed by a cinematic vision, Unverkalt are throwing back the velvet curtain in favor of the veil. On their upcoming third album and first since signing with Season of Mist, the post-metal luminaries plunge into the darkness that awaits us all. »Héréditaire« now stands as their heaviest and most heartfelt offering.
“…gothy, doomy, ethereal,” Brooklyn Vegan wrote in describing the album’s lead single »Die Auslöschung«.
Today, Unverkalt are releasing the second advanced single from »Héréditaire«. While it sets fire to the myth of man’s creation, »Oath Ov Prometheus« is ignited by the band’s newly blackened spark.
“This song reflects on the illusion of greatness, how humanity crowns itself as a god to preserve its place at any cost,” Unverkalt says. “Not all who swear, serve the light. Some carry fire only to burn.”

Vocalist Dimitra Kalavrezou remains one of Unverkalt’s unmistakable traits. Her clean singing twists above the band’s fiery new single with all the mystifying beauty of a phoenix from the ashes. But as the first song written for »Héréditaire«, »Oath Ov Prometheus« reveals a haunting new depth to her voice.
“I encouraged her every day to go further with her vocals.” Unverkalt’s guitarist and primary composer Themis Ioannou says with an appreciative smile. “But the progression of our music came naturally. We love to experiment with every album. With »Héréditaire«, we wanted to introduce extreme vocals because they bring out all these heavy feelings. It’s like they’re shaking you awake.”
»Héréditaire« is a pulse-pounding new direction for Unverkalt. Stoked by blast beats, smoky post-metal atmosphere and headbanging doom, »Oath Ov Prometheus« rages with righteous fury. Where the band’s previous two studio ventures took cues from French painting and European film noir, their upcoming album traces back to mankind’s deepest and darkest origins. With each blackened scream, its new single dismantles the myth of god’s perfect creation.
“»Oath Ov Prometheus« speaks of the moral collapse of a future set ablaze in a world intoxicated by power,” Kalavrezou says, “where control is placed above all else, no matter the cost.”
“I enjoy discovering new, unique and compelling music in today’s overwhelming world of information, and I believe I truly succeeded with Unverkalt,” says Season Of Mist labelmate and Rotting Christ frontman Sakis Tolis, who’s featured on the monolithic »I, The Deceit« from »Héréditaire«. “This is an exceptional piece of art, worth every minute of listening.”
The video for »Oath Ov Prometheus« was produced by Unverkalt and directed by Themis Ioannou at RAWBITE Studio.
