Unreal is a group that breaks stereotypes about Russianroque In order to verify this, it is enough just to get acquainted with the work of the team. What is only one song "The Demon", which is based on the text of the poem of the same name by M. Yu. Lermontov ... But first things first.
Unreal story: a band with a good past and a great future
The group was formed in 2006 in Moscow.The group, who is actively performing on the stage, currently includes 4 people - two vocalists (Arashi and Firefly), guitarist (Wonder) and keyboard player (Violencer). And, of course, the producer (Futurist), he is also a keyboard player and guitarist. The first single released in 2006; He was called "Three Nights" and was the soundtrack to the film "The Witch." As was the case with many young groups, the disc was distributed as a free supplement to Dark City magazine and a number of other publications of similar subjects. A talented young team was noticed, and already in 2007 the composition "Three Nights" was nominated for the "best soundtrack of the year" award. This was the impetus for Unreal: the group began to actively prepare to record the first album.
What genre does the band work in?
The paradox is that it is impossible to clearly define the style in which the team works. But, in general, the guys are trying to follow the traditions of the so-called Dark Scene.
This is not even a separate direction, but ratherThe concept of modern music, which is characterized by a melodic, but harsh sound, clear guitar parts. In the work of the group there is also industrial, and gothic, and trends of symphonic metal. It was this explosive mixture of styles and trends that brought the Unreal group popularity.
Only club scene? No matter how wrong!
Many listeners have the impression thatYoung Russian groups can perform only in some clubs, at thematic parties and "at the opening" of more famous performers. Unreal is a group that refutes this claim. At present, there are more than 20 songs on the team’s account, and the multi-genre orientation allows for a program of performances to be tailored to the target audience and the size of the stage. Unreal perform not only in clubs, but also gather sites such as Pushkinsky, which is a definite indicator. But that's not all. Unreals have an ace up their sleeve in the form of a fire show. In addition, their work is very close to such a subculture as cyber-goths.
Want to know more about them? No problem! Unreal is a group whose official site can be called one of the most informative of all such.
What are we singing about?
You can not ignore the lyrics of their songs.First of all, the guys sing only in Russian, practically without using English or other languages. The central axis of all the works can be called mystics, horrors, the world of the future. But in the texts of the group often there is an allusion - a hint at other works.
Perhaps the most striking example of the aboveThe artistic reception is the new single "Milady", which was written after the story of the Countess de La Fère, Lady Vinter, wife of Athos (Comte de La Fère). The futurist believed that the woman was treated unfairly by executing her. Therefore, the song tells the story of the Countess, which no one knew, the story of a girl who was pushed into the abyss of vice. Interestingly, the soundtrack was written on a computer, and the author himself (Futurist) and Arashi performed the solo parts. The single, in addition to the song "Milady", includes the tracks "Winner's Loneliness", "Auto-da-fe" and "Curse of the Dead Roses".
As expected, after the release of the song inPositive reviews of the work of the group began to appear on the Internet. In an interview with Dark Radio, the founder and producer of the group made it clear that in 2013-2014. will be engaged in a solo project "Angels of Starlight", which means that the group is sent to a kind of creative anabiosis. However, the single "The Heart of Joan of Arc" appeared in the network in January 2014. This is what the Unreal team is currently doing. The group's website is open to all who want it.
