German metal outfit Unprocessed have unveiled ‘Head in the Clouds’ featuring guest vocals from Jason Butler of Fever333. The single is released ahead of their new album Angel, released on Halloween 2025 (31st October).

Unprocessed comment on the single “Jason from Fever333 absolutely astonished us with his input on ‘Head in the Clouds’ and what he did is open a whole new universe for Unprocessed. With his rap-like flows and one of the strongest choruses we’ve ever worked with, the song takes an almost nu-metal direction. Combined with one of Manu‘s iconic main riffs, this track one of our favourites on the album. Lyrically, this song follows the idea of being overwhelmed with today’s world, forced to shine and to keep the show going, no matter how you feel. We’re proud of this collaboration and are honoured to be able to work with one of the best frontmen in the scene.”

Jason adds: “Simply put. There are plenty of folks making music out there. Plenty of folks with obvious talent in the guitar oriented spaces. But this track made me feel something the moment I heard a mere clip of it which is why I told Manuel even if they don’t use it, I needed to contribute to it somehow.”

‘Head in the Clouds’ follows ‘Beyond Heaven’s Gate‘ and ‘Solara‘ featuring Zelli of Paleface Swiss.

In Germany, the band will embark on an album release week tour of key record stores to celebrate Angel, culminating in a hometown release party in Wiesbaden, at the venue where it all began for the band. All events and details can be found below.

The signing event at Rough Trade Berlin will also see the presentation of the wine collaboration with Schottwein, a local winery close to where Unprocessed are from.

Unprocessed is composed of Manuel Gardner Fernandes (vocals, guitar), David Levy (bass, synths), Christoph Schultz (guitar), and Leon Pfeifer (drums). Their upcoming album Angel marks another bold step in the band’s creative evolution. Expanding their sonic palette with heavier textures and emotive and intimate lyricism that highlights their poppier side. Angel features high-profile guest appearances from Zelli of Paleface Swiss and Jason Aalon Butler of Letlive and Fever 333. These collaborations add new layers of urgency and intensity to a record that explores themes of conflict, duality, and inner transformation.

The band speaks more about the themes of Angel: “This album is more than just a record by four boys from Germany – it’s a light shone upon the unknown, like memories from the afterlife. We explored the concept of “Angel” in various ways: becoming an angel through real-life actions, hearing angels serenade, a fallen angel telling his story and becoming the Antichrist, or seeing someone as an angel through glorification. This concept inspired both the music and the lyrics. While we’re leaning more into a polished metalcore sound, the record still maintains the essence of what makes Unprocessed unique. It features some of the craziest guitar, bass, and drum work we’ve ever showcased as a band. At the same time, we believe it’s more accessible to the broader metal and metalcore audience, with our strongest and catchiest hooks and melodies to date.”

The band’s previous album, …and everything in between (2023), received widespread acclaim for its complex arrangements and specifically heavy compositions. The record launched a major touring cycle which saw the band complete headline shows with many sold out across North America, and Europe, as well as performing their largest shows in China, and venturing into Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Australia for the first time. They also appeared at prominent festivals such as Download (UK), Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium), Mystic Festival (Poland) and Resurrection Festival (Spain).

In the past two years, Unprocessed have supported major heavy acts including In Flames, TesseracT, August Burns Red, Spiritbox, and Polyphia. Their collaborative work with Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage on …and everything in between highlighted  the potential Unprocessed continues to exhibit amongst the scene’s most exciting guitar focused acts.

Central to Unprocessed’s identity is guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes, whose playing has garnered international attention across online platforms and beyond. His partnership with Ibanez, including a signature model, and his ongoing guitar clinics around the world, reflect his growing status as one of the leading voices in modern metal guitar.

Unprocessed continue to push their sound forward with each release. Angel presents their most focused and dynamic material to date, offering a deeper look into the extremes of human experience without losing the technical foundations that first set them apart.

German metal outfit Unprocessed have unveiled ‘Beyond Heaven’s Gate’, the powerfully emotive second single taken from their upcoming album Angel, due for release on Halloween 2025 (31st October).

Stream the single here: https://ffm.to/beyond-heavens-gate

Unprocessed comment on ‘Beyond Heaven’s Gate’: “We can believe in things beyond heavens gate – bats communicate with ultrasonic waves, dogs can smell diseases before they break out, cats can see in the night… so wouldn’t it be foolish to think that we can sense everything there is? This song represents a longing for something more than we can see, an answer to our internal questions about life and death. If you wish for it, you can be in touch with those who aren’t physically around anymore, and connect with a world ‘Beyond Heaven’s Gate’.

“Musically this may be our catchiest song on the album, with a more active rock approach while staying true to our progressive roots.”

‘Beyond Heaven’s Gate’ follows the single ‘Solara’ featuring Zelli of Paleface Swiss, a crushingly heavy track that combines an electronic approach with the signature Unprocessed downtuned riffage.

German metal outfit Unprocessed are back with a statement of intent with their upcoming album Angel,  which is due for release on Halloween 2025 (31st October).

The brand new video/single ‘Solara’, featuring Zelli of Paleface Swiss, combines a fresh industrial yet electronic approach with the signature Unprocessed downtuned riffage. The combined vocal performances of Manuel and Zelli create one of the album’s most striking moments. The track gives Zelli space to explore a different side of his vocal approach, resulting in a dynamic collaboration that is sure to turn heads.

Unprocessed comment on ‘Solara’ and the collaboration with Zelli: “With ‘Solara’ we were able to bring worlds together, leaning more into metalcore while maintaining our core essence, bringing in drum and bass influences for the first time. This track also features one of our absolute favourite vocalists of the scene- Zelli. His flow, timbre and lyricism is nothing short of amazing and we’re proud to present it to the world!“

Zelli adds: “I love Unprocessed, the boys and their music. What I enjoyed most about this project was that we worked on it hand in hand. It wasn’t just a matter of sending files back and forth; it was a true collaboration. I love that we were able to blend two genres in a way no one really had before. And the best part? I got to put my vocals on music I’d never worked with before. That’s always the most exciting part of a feature. Shooting the music video in the Swiss Alps made this whole project even better.“

Unprocessed – An innovative and growing force in the modern and progressive metal realm – have unveiled their stunning new single ‘Sacrifice Me’.

Stream the single here: https://ffm.to/sacrifice-me 

The band’s beautifully melodic, technically proficient and at times brutally heavy sound has catapulted them to the forefront of the modern metal scene, having toured as main support to TesseracT across Europe, Polyphia in the USA and sold out countless shows on their first North American headline tour in 2024.

Their latest album ‘…and everything in between’ has been described by publications such as Kerrang! as “ An album so forward-thinking that it’s a huge breath of fresh air in the world of metal” KKKK. This is driven in part by their virtuoso guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes, whose talent for turning the most complex technique into ultra-modern melodies has made him a world renowned flag-bearer for the next generation of bands in the genre.

The German quartet represents a new evolution of futuristic guitar driven metal. 2024 will see the band take on Europe for their first headline tour with a plethora of new music and collaborations to come. ‘Sacrifice Me’ serves as the first offering of new material, and is some of their darkest yet most anthemic work to date.

Manuel Gardner Fernandes (vocals, guitars) commented: “We’re already moving into a new era of Unprocessed and the inspiration just kept on flowing after we released …and everything in between. ‘Sacrifice Me’ is a modern metal anthem that displays a darker, melancholic side of us that we haven’t shared too much of in the past.”

David Levy (bass) commented: “’Sacrifice Me’ is the first time we’re going out of our way to make bold punchlines and breakdowns in the spirit of modern metalcore. ‘Sacrifice Me’ is a way to describe unconditional love and the willingness to give up everything for someone, almost masochistically. The protagonist wants to suffer for his significant other to show true, selfless affection.”
