Unearth announce new LP 'The Wretched; The Ruinous' (exclusive vinyl & new single)

Boston melodic metalcore vets Unearth have announced their eighth album, The Wretched; The Ruinous, due May 5 via Century Media. It was produced by past collaborator Will Putney (Every Time I Die, Knocked Loose, etc), and vocalist Trevor Phipps says, “The Wretched; The Ruinous is about the eight billion people on this planet. We’ve created a man-made mass extinction event and have been too slow to correct our faults. Extreme weather, drought, famine, disease, erosion of land, culture wars, civil wars, wars for natural resources, and the displacement of billions of people, is all a current reality. This isn’t a future problem; it is a now problem and I take this record to talk about it.” The album includes the recently-released title track, as well as the just-released “Mother Betrayal,” which Trevor calls “a warning that we are smashing past multiple ecological tipping points caused by our dependence on fossil fuels that will forever alter life on our planet.” It sounds like classic Unearth and you can check it out below.

We’ve got an exclusive yellow & black marble vinyl variant of the album, limited to just 300 copies. Pre-order yours while they last. Here’s a mock-up:
