This review only includes the albums and not any of the singles or EPs.
Starting of with In Concretion spanning 12 songs and running 1 hour and 19 minutes, the album itself is okay there was nothing to really make it stand out against anything else but it was still a enjoyable listening experience. I'd say that you can definitely tell it's from the bands earlier days. The mixing is fine, its what you'd expect from a prog metal band. The song in this album that stood out to me the most was Lost In Mediocrity.
Lost In Mediocrity reminds me of Bed Of Razors by Children Of Bodom with the rhythm guitars riff in the intro. It then shifts to a more atmospheric acoustic before going to a riff and vocals that most remind me of 3rd Eye before going to classic death metal riffs and repeating. All in all its definitely a great first album. The riffs I'd give a 6/10 they aren't nearly as memorable as some of the later ones but they're still great riffs. the vocals I'd give a 5/10, they aren't anything to really write home about and so I'm putting them in the middle. Mixing gets a 6/10 i don't really have much else to say on it. Overall ill give this album a 6/10 It's nothing special but it sets the direction for the band.
The next album that they released is Perception spanning 6 songs and only running 33 minutes, It's considerably shorter than the last album. The band explores more of the metal side of things in this album with their song Death, an Epilogue of Life being my personal favorite. Two of the song names correlate with each other with the third track being called Life, a Prologue of Death and the 4 track being Death, an Epilogue of life. It's a small thing but it stands out so much to me and I love when bands do stuff like that. This album really defines the direction that Unprocessed will go becoming a memorable prog metal band. the riffs are more complicated for the most part on this album, especially on the intro to track 5. They do a good job on smoothly combining the clean vocals and harsh vocals with what's going on in the instrumental. Its not their greatest album but its still worth the listen. It's short and memorable. Im giving the riffs a 7/10 considering the more complex parts. The vocals in this album get a 8/10 to me there's noticeably better technique and more variety. Mixing gets a 7/10 still not crazy but better than the first album. overall this album gets a 7/10 really cementing the direction the band is going to go.
Up next is Covenant with 10 songs and running 49 minutes. This album is mainly just combining the previous two and adding some stuff, using the complex riffs, atmospheric, clean vocals, harsh vocals. It's noticeably more djenty with a large amount of chugging riffs. There Isn't a whole lot i have to say about this album. The two songs that stood out the most to be were Covenant and The Mirror with Covenant being the first track and The Mirror being the seventh. The mirror is a completely different vibe than almost everything else by them up to now. It feels like It'd be a great outro for a game that you win but at a massive cost. I feel like the emotion that the song exudes the most to me personally is regret. I give the riffs in this album a 7/10. the vocals get a 7/10 they weren't quite as diverse as in Perception. The mixing is a 7/10. overall the album gets a 7/10
