Unverkalt push darker edge on new single "Introjects"

Today, Unverkalt are releasing the third and final advanced single from Héréditaire. “Introjects” breaks from the broken beliefs of the past with the band’s newly blackened edge.
“We often carry beliefs and ideas that were never ours but absorbed from the worlds of others”, Unverkalt says. “These dead constructs linger just beneath the surface, quietly shaping us - until something breaks. There’s a moment of dissonance, a crack in the surface, a realization that the weight we carry isn’t ours to bear”.
Héréditaire is out February 27, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Unverkalt are still possessed by a cinematic vision. Like the spell that falls over a darkened theater, “Introjects” descends into a doomy trance beneath hypnotic bass tolls. “It’s all sorts of dead ideas / They cling to us all the same”, chimes Dimitra Kalavrezou. Her spellbinding cleans are still one of the band’s defining traits, but the song’s piercing tremolo-picked melodies reveal their newly blackened edge.
“We love to experiment with every album”, Unverkalt’s guitarist and primary composer Themis Ioanno says. “My two favorite genres are black and post-metal. With Héréditaire, we wanted to blend the two together. The heavier direction hits harder on the heart”.
Héréditaire marks a pulse-pounding new direction for Unverkalt, but their upcoming third album traces back to our deepest and darkest origins. With each headbanging chorus, “Introjects” breaks further from widely held beliefs that were never ours but inherited like a disease passed down between generations. “We just want our own way / Cut off from the source”, Kalavrezou warns before all hell breaks lose. As if summoned from the fiery blast beats, her newly blackened screams bring the old pillars of society crumbling to the ground.
“This song is a violent detachment from borrowed identities”, Kalavrezou says. “In that rupture, awakens the faint possibility of becoming something real”.
“I enjoy discovering new, unique and compelling music in today’s overwhelming world of information, and I believe I truly succeeded with Unverkalt”, says Season of Mist labelmate and Rotting Christ frontman Sakis Tolis, who’s featured on the monolithic “I, The Deceit” from Héréditaire. “This is an exceptional piece of art, worth every minute of listening”.
The video for “Introjects” was produced by Unverkalt and directed by Themis Ioannou at RAWBITE Studio.
