UNLOCK THE BEAST!!! This time, the odour of death metal is blowing from the Kingdom of the Netherlands!!! UNLOCKED is a new band that will blow your mind, because the music pouring out of the speakers when you listen to them is truly awesome!!! The musical skill of the UNLOCKED players is absolutely disarming, and this quartet has the most qualified man behind the drums, Kevin Paradise, whom you surely know from Cephalic Carnage or Aborted, for example.
With this guy, UNLOCKED has recorded their only album so far, "Bedlamite," which is full of aggressive but very sophisticated death metal!!! Give UNLOCKED a chance and you'll discover a beast!!! That's for sure!!!
Bio
Formed in 2023 Eindhoven, Netherlands, when longtime collaborators Benny Bats, Roel van Kruysdijk and Joost Aanraad decided to reunite musically and together they began crafting their new sound. Within months drummer Kevin Paradis joined, rounding out the lineup for their debut release.
Unlocked delivers a powerful blend of old-school death metal, enriched with elements of thrash and black metal. A crossover approach that brings freshness to a traditional sound. Their lyrical content is distinctively inspired by the haunting, unsettling atmosphere of 19th-century asylums, matching brutal riffs with equally gruesome narratives Bedlamite, the band’s debut album, dropped in February 2024, showcasing technical aggression and macabre storytelling. Critics received Bedlamite enthusiastically, praising its technical proficiency and dynamic riffing. Notes on standout tracks like “Bloodcult” and “Shackled in Irons” underline the album’s capacity to balance brutal intensity with compositional sophistication.
The first single “Last Anesthesia”of their new album “Madman Doctor” will be released on the 10th September 2025!
