Uneven Structure debut release date announced!

[TheBloodstained]

So...

I don't know about all you mighty fine people, players, shredders, djentlemen and djentlewomen, stoners, hellraisers and spectators, but personally I've been looking forward to the debut from Uneven Structure for quite some time now!

Since I follow both Uneven Structure and their record company, Basick Records, on FaceBook I got these news straight away, and now I want to share them with anyone interested who haven't heard about it or just has some kind of interest in this specific band!

Therefore I present to you:



Basick Records - News - UNEVEN STRUCTURE release 'FEBRUUS' October 31st!

I seriously have goose bumps and cold sweat right now! I've been looking forward to this for so long and now it's finally appearing in the horizon! I'm so totally going to die when I hear this!

You are more than welcome to post your thoughts about this release and this band in this thread

Thank you ^^

I find them a bit bland, not bad, but I feel like I've heard this stuff a million times. And I love the genre usually.
I'll check 'em live if they come near me in the future.

Hmmm, I feel the complete opposite. Personally I've never heard anything like Uneven Structure, so their whole approach to music is new and fresh for me. There's a lot of djent bands out there, but I find that only a little handful of them have accomplished making their own sound. Uneven Structure is one of them

But if you know bands with similar sound please tell me. I'm still kinda new to the djent phenomenon (aside from jumping on the Vildhjarta, Periphery, Textures, Monuments, TesseracT, Uneven Structure bandwagon!)! xD

[Ishan]

I'm listening a lot to the last Xerath album at the moment, pretty good and the last Synthetic Breed is good too. I'll check Uneven Structures new material, maybe I'll like it more than the 8 EP

[Triple7]

I've been looking forward to this for quite some time! I wasn't really a fan of their first release "8", which was apparently just leftover riffs to hold people over until this came out. But since I heard the first Februus update, and saw that they changed singers and the style was more layered and ambient, I got interested in them again.

[Ishan]

I heard they are going back to 7 strings, odd.

[nojyeloot]

Obligatory purchase on 10/31

I didn't like 8 at all, but I am super stoked for this album. Worc's EP still is my favorite thing to come out of the djent movement, and from what I have heard of Februus thus far, it seems to have the same vibe. Can't wait!

I was under the impression that EP was some of the material that will be used for the album, merely instrumental and unfinished.

Now all I need is the Vildhjarta album release date and I will be happy.

If I can remember correctly, I think it was intended as a prelude to Februus, but I don't know if the songs were actually written for use on the album.

I read somewhere that the "When The Day Forms" EP by worC was supposed to follow the story of a life being born in a perfect world without anger, fear and misery. The "Februus" is supposed to take that story and follow the being through a life filled with problems.
I don't know if this is correct though?

But this confirms that it's a prelude to "Februus"

Uneven Structure guitarist Aurélien Pereira, AKA worC, has released his instrumental solo EP 'When The Day Forms'. The five track EP is intended as a 'prelude to Februus', Uneven Structure's upcoming debut full-length album.

and I found this

worC is the solo project of French guitarist/producer Auré Pereira (Uneven Structure). This EP has been highly anticipated and has only just recently been released. This album is supposed to be the precursor to what the concept of Uneven Structure's full-length album will be.
From someone that's been following Pereira's work for a while now, all I can say is that this album does not disappoint. The tracks and demos that Pereira has released so far have been praised for their unique ambiance and texturing while retaining a heavy, Meshuggah-influenced groove. The cleaner guitar work has also been a unique trait of Pereira's demos, as his lead-work is done mostly on cleaner guitar.
This EP, as stated above, is supposed to be the prelude to what happens in his main band's debut "Februss." The entire five tracks on here all flow together in a way that, obviously, makes it feel like a single piece. This EP certainly demonstrates the all the sounds that have been present on the demos and songs before hand, namely the heavy grooves, opener Grene, to more atmospheric, Polymet, and even the overwhelming walls of sound, Velacit.
Overall, this EP is a total success for myself anyway, and only serves to enforce Pereira's unique spot in the metal world right now. This EP definitely showcases some of the best instrumental tech metal/djent so far this year. This is definitely an album that everyone should check out, it's short so it shouldn't take that much of your time, definitely look into this.
Overall Score: 8

oh yeah, and then I wanted to say that I'm one of the few people who liked the "8" EP. I heard it countless times and often fallen asleep to it at night too. With that said, I thoroughly enjoy the direction they've taken with "Februus". From what I've heard so far I think this have to potential to be the best record I've ever heard!
I don't wanna get my hopes up though! Would be a shame to jinx it! xS

[Cnev]

I haven't heard anything about there being a backstory to his EP, but very cool. Appreciate the info.

[Triple7]

That's some awesome info. Definitely gotta check that out.

[TheBloodstained]

A little headsup for ya'll!

Today Uneven Structure and Play.com have made the first preorder package available! The package consist of the 2 disc album and a signed A4 poster with artwork connected to "Februus".

Its not that its bad, its just djent by the numbers in a way. I listened to it for a bit when it came out, and to be honest the first teaser for Februus is 10X better than everythin on the 8 EP put together. Februus is going to be a huge step up from 8, if the teasers are any indication

There are various live pictures out there where they use downtuned 7's. If I remember correctly I think it was worC who used a Schecter Damien 7 and Igor who used an Ibanez 7?
I also saw a tab for "Frost" where the guitars supposedly were tuned in drop G# on 7strings, which makes sense to me when listening closely.

But they still use 8's alongside the 7's though!

EDIT:
Here's one of the pictures I was thinking of

[TheBloodstained]

So, today is the day!
Basick Records has released their official Uneven Structure preorder package, which features the 2 disc digipack album and a special t-shirt, available in 3 different colors, with logo!
BASICK RECORDS ONLINE STORE — UNEVEN STRUCTURE

Can't wait - suuuuuper stoked!

[TheBloodstained]

About 15mins ago Uneven Structure posted a link to their official video for the song "Awaken" which is featured on the upcoming album "Februus"
Metal Hammer » Blog Archive » EXCLUSIVE: Uneven Structure Unveil Awesome New Video!

I think is cool as hell!
The whole vibe of their things is straight out creepy, but catchy as hell!
Now it's even harder to wait for the album! xD

[DLG]

been racking my brain over who the clean vocals remind me of.

realized it was mayadome.



other than that, it sounds like pretty generic djent to me. complete with crispy clean guitar/delay outro.

[Triple7]

I definitely dug the video. I really like these guys, they don't come across as "generic djent" to me, but that's just personal taste. I feel like their ambient stuff is a lot more interesting and layered then some of the other run of the mill "djent" bands. I also really enjoy their vocalist, dude has talent.

[ShadowFactoryX]

video is mega good, love the changes
superb band

placing pre-order tonight!

That's precisely how I feel about them!
How these guys sound like "generic djent" to some people is a true mystery to me. I haven't heard anything like these guys anywhere else! But I guess a lot of it has to do with personal taste as you mentioned...
