Our Take

Unshine's latest offering, "Astrala," is a cosmic journey through the realms of melodic metal that left us feeling like we had just taken a trip to another dimension. The Finnish band's unique blend of gothic atmospheres, folk influences, and soaring vocals make for an ethereal listening experience that is both captivating and otherworldly.

From the opening track "Birch of Fornjot" to the epic closer "The Mystic and the Divine," Unshine takes us on a musical adventure through the vast expanses of the universe, weaving together intricate guitar work, haunting melodies, and hypnotic rhythms that keep us hooked from start to finish. The band's sound is as mystical as the album title suggests, with each track creating a rich tapestry of sound that transports the listener to another realm.

Lead vocalist Susanna Vesilahti's haunting vocals are the star of the show, adding a mesmerizing quality to the music that is truly enchanting. Her voice soars above the heavy riffs and pulsating rhythms, creating a sense of magic and mysticism that is hard to resist. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member bringing their A-game to create a lush, atmospheric sound that is both captivating and immersive.

Overall, "Astrala" is a stunning achievement from Unshine, showcasing their talent and creativity in full force. It's an album that begs to be listened to from start to finish, taking the listener on a transcendent journey that is as exhilarating as it is beautiful. In a musical landscape dominated by trends and clichés, Unshine stands out as a true original, creating music that is as captivating as it is unforgettable.
