UNHOLD

New Album "Gold Cut" out Sept. 5th 2008

About Me


"To let go of something dearly loved and craved in order to break up and explore new frontiers. Make the shift consciously and keep in honour what you leave behind. Work in modesty and harvest when time is due. The gold cut."
Dear friends this record spawned little by little, aimed for the highest, retrieved into depth and now has come to maturity. GOLD GUT is now ripened and ready for your eyes and ears. As promised and declaimed with enthusiasm last month we've got a lot to tell and show you:
As of now you can check out two brandnew song off GOLD CUT. We picked out the tracks „Sugarbread“ and „Crowded Hearts“. Enjoy!

Check the dates above.
UNHOLD is active since 1992 and could maybe be described as a hybrid originating from early nineties (death-) metal and noiserock drenched in hardcore's disenchanting worldview and gut-felt rage, enlighting darkness with a harmony in the right spot. A clenched fist and the never healing wound.
UNHOLD is an ancient term in german for an ogre, a misfit, someone maladjusted and unwilling to please.
Besides some d.i.y.-tours through Europe we had the pleasure to open shows for well-known bands like Sick of it All, Crowbar, Transport League, Endstand, Biohazard, Strife or Cataract.
