Polish female-fronted goth metallers UNSUN, featuring ex-Vader guitarist Maurycy “Mauser” Stefanowicz, will release their sophomore album, Clinic For Dolls, on October 12 via Armoury Records. The follow up to their 2008 The End Of Life debut was recorded at Hertz Studio (Behemoth, Vader etc.) in Bialystok (vocal tracks were recorded at Studio X in Olsztyn). UNSUN features Mauser, vocalist Annelyse “Aya” Stefanowicz’s, bassist Heinrich (Decapitated, Rootwater, Masachist, Vesania) and drummer Vaaver (Induki).
In preparation for the release, Plug In Music is currently streaming “Home,” the seventh track off Clinic For Dolls. Check it out here: http://www.pluginmusic.com/freemusic/unsun.
Originally formed under the moniker Unseen, the dynamic four-piece changed their name to UNSUN to better describe their delicate balance of dark and light; something that would put a name to the bitter-sweet twist of Aya’s melodic vocal nuances. Connected by the sheer passion to play intense music, Mauser and Aya knew upon their first rehearsals that this wasn’t just another Mauser side-project, but his personal way of exploring new music. Soon the two recruited Wawrzyniec Dramowicz “Vaaver” from Indukti and Filip HaÅ‚ucha “Heinrich,” who also plays bass in Vesania. First demo Whispers, recorded in 2006, caught the attention of various labels throughout Europe and in 2007 UNSUN signed a deal with Century Media for the release of The End Of Life. The band later shot a video for the song “Whispers,” which earned over three million views on YouTube and toured with Black River and Votum. They also performed at several high profile summer festivals in 2009 including Wave Gotik Treffen, Summer Breeze and Metal Female Voices Fest.
Clinic For Dolls finds UNSUN taking their brand of mesmerizing sound to new heights. A melancholic tour de force that’s at once heavy, emotional, and full of passion. For fans of Nightwish, Epica, Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation.
