Connect with Unfound Reliance: Facebook |
Swedish melodic death metal band Unfound Reliance describe themselves as “First Aid Kit but with Metal guitars”. Their origins are as a hard rock cover band in their native Karlstad. Unfound Reliance has maintained a mostly consistent lineup since 2013. The release of their single “End Time” in 2017 got the band the top positioning on Swedish national radio station P3’s program for upcoming acts. The band signed with Rexius Records. Unfound Reliance is now preparing for the release of A Layered Mind, an EP depicting the rebellious existentialism they describe as “The combination of hating life but being happy to have it.” will be available this fall. Until then fans can enjoy their single “Hellhound,” featuring the production of Peter Iwers (former In Flames, Chyra).

Not just headbanging death metal. There is a melodic sensibility to their music with epic guitar slinging throughout.
The quintet tackles the unflinching truths of mental illness with “Hellhound.” Slaying guitar solos and hard-hitting metal drums sear the melancholic lyrics with a balance of heavy speed drumming, gritty guitars and ambitious vocals by frontman Andrew Johansson. These Nordic giants have the blood of Vikings in their playing. Polished precision that focuses on a melodic, hard-hitting sound. That’s the short of it!
