Season of Mist is pleased to welcome Unverkalt.
Formed in 2017, Unverkalt emerged from a desire to give voice to grief, memory and the visceral undercurrents of the human condition. While originally founded in Athens, the band are now based in Berlin, where they forge avant-garde post-metal from emotionally immersive compositions, cinematic textures and a fearless commitment to sonic experimentation.
The band’s debut album, L’Origine du Monde, emerged rooted in emotional unrest and tense atmospherics while delving deep into loss and catharsis beneath shades of post-metal and slow-burning doom. Their follow-up, A Lump of Death: A Chaos of Dead Lovers, pushed deeper into obsession and decay, blending gothic unease with cinematic grandeur and raw urgency. Together, the band’s first two albums trace their evolution from mournful elegance to something more immediate and consuming. It’s a path worth retracing before the next part of their journey unfolds, giving rise to the most visceral and unrelenting sound Unverkalt have ever conjured.
“Big News, Big Moves!” says Unverkalt. “We are excited to announce that Unverkalt have officially joined the Season of Mist family.
“We’ve found a home with a label that doesn’t just handle the heavy, the weird and the loud – it amplifies it. We’re very stoked about working with a team that gets what we’re about and isn’t afraid of a little sonic destruction.
”Unverkalt always stood for real, raw, untamed art and never gave a damn about fitting into scenes or trends. We just wanted to create something honest – loud, heavy, broken and alive. And now we’ve found a place that welcomes that chaos with open arms.
”The next chapter of Unverkalt starts here. Expect more music, more shows and more beautifully controlled chaos. Stay tuned and brace yourselves – this ride’s only getting louder.”

Emerging from Athens in 2017, UNVERKALT was born out of an instinctive urge to give form to grief, memory and emotional unrest.
Guitarist and composer Themis, along with vocalist Dimitra, set out to create something unfiltered, heavy, and honest — an intention that would later crystallize in their 2020 debut album L’Origine du Monde. With this release, Unverkalt established a presence within the European post-metal underground.
With raw, multifaceted vocals woven into post-metal and avant-garde textures, Unverkalt began to shape a sound that is slow-burning and emotionally charged. Influenced by European cinema, visual arts and the complexity of human experience, their music unfolds as an immersive narrative, balancing heaviness and delicacy, dissonance and beauty.
Their 2023 follow-up, A Lump of Death: A Chaos of Dead Lovers, garnered widespread critical acclaim, including a 9/10 review from Metal Hammer Greece, and marked a clear turning point in both tone and direction. Inspired by the cult atmosphere and violent crimes of the 1970s, the album explored the space between obsession and romantic decay. The sound became heavier, more immediate, with the band’s alternative influences now pushed to the surface with greater clarity and force.
Now rooted in Berlin, the current incarnation of Unverkalt – Dimitra (vocals), Themis (guitars), Christian (drums), Eli (vocals/guitars), and Joscha (bass) converge to produce their most primal and emotionally charged creation to date.
What comes next is not a continuation, but a descent. Unverkalt’s cinematic and avant-garde impulses are now laced with shadowed intensity. Blackened textures swirl beneath the surface, rupturing into moments of raw force. Their sound is evolving into something darker, more primal, and wholly untethered — an experience that promises to be their most visceral and immersive yet.
