Unearthly Trance released two critically acclaimed albums with Lee Dorrian’s Doom Coven Rise Above Records. In 2003, the debut “Season Of Seance, Science Of Silence” exhibited extreme bleak doom and harsh black metal vocals with the occasional flair for experiment that was mixed by Stephen O’Malley [Sunn, Khanate, Burning Witch]. The follow up “In The Red”, is when U.T. truly found their sonic identity. They joined forces with producer Sanford Parker in Chicago and established the sound and future Unearthly Trance to come.
In 2006, Unearthly Trance signed with Relapse Records and released their third full-length “The Trident”. This album featured a more varying degree of tempos, textures, and mood and really shows the bands strength of well crafted song writing. Once again recording with trusted engineer Sanford Parker, the band also had the opportunity to record at Steve Albini’s famous recording studio Electrical Audio.
With the intent of honing their craft and taking their sound further, 2008’s “Electrocution” shows Unearthly Trance at their most progressive and bravely traveling from yet experimenting within their harsh doom/sludge foundation. As always, Parker expertly captured the sound of the band who were at the heights of its vigor and explosiveness.
Things took on a new vibe and tone with “V” in 2010. This showed the band recording and mixing on its own with bassist Jay Newman at the helm in their home of New York City. With “V” the trio came full circle; combining the expansive leanings of “Electrocution” and “The Trident” with the sparing, brooding doom of their earliest works.
Unearthly Trance has had an extensive career of touring and playing shows with legendary and acclaimed acts such as Electric Wizard, The Melvins, High On Fire, Grief, Sunn, Pelican, Sleep, Morbid Angel, Floor, Autopsy, Ramesses, Suma and many more.
Unearthly Trance decided to call it a day June 6th 2012…
But thankfully after some well needed rest and reflection, the band has returned in 2015 to once again summon the beast ! Shortly before the return, Unearthly Trance released a 2xcd collection of vinyl only songs from the past on Throne Records fittingly titled “Ouroboros”.
