Unearth

Unearth is a Metalcore band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998 by singer Trevor Phipps, guitarists Buz McGrath and Ken Susi, bassist Chris Rybicki and drummer Mike Rudberg.

Over the years, the quintet has issued a steady stream of modern Metal classics, including the full-length disc “The Stings Of Conscience” in January 2001 on Eulogy Recordings, the 4-track EP “Endless” a year later before signing with Metal Blade and issuing “The Oncoming Storm” in June 2004; it peaked at #6 on the U.S. Top Independent Albums chart and reached the #105 position on The Billboard 200. This album marked the first change in the line-up of the band as Rybicki left the fold and John “Slo” Maggard took over as full-time bassist, while Rudberg was replaced by drummer Mike Justian. All the while, Unearth continuously crisscrossed the globe, becoming one of the hardest and most consistent Metal touring bands playing alongside some of heavy-Rock’s top names, including Slayer, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God and many others.
But with the arrival of “III: In The Eyes Of Fire” in August 2006 Unearth scored their most worldwide successful album yet; it instantly earned unanimous glowing reviews and debuted at #35 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. During the supporting tour, Justian left the band and was replaced by drummer Derek Kerswill.

In October 2008, the Boston metalcore quintet returned with the fourth studio record, “The March”; the album, which debuted at #45 on The Billboard 200, has a theme of both the evil and hopeful sides of humanity and features abundant guitar solos and a bulldozing power-groove. “My Will Be Done” was the first single off the CD.
Unearth’s next offering, “Darkness In The Light”, followed in July 2011.

During fall 2014, Unearth released two tracks from their new album Watchers of Rule, which was later released on October 28, 2014 via eOne Music and features 11 tracks on the regular edition and 13 tracks on the deluxe version. In the March of 2018, Unearth announced that they would be playing the final touring portion of the Vans Warped Tour. They would be joined by bands like Every Time I Die, Motionless in White, Wage War, Chelsea Grin, Simple Plan, The Amity Affliction, Harm’s Way and much more. The first single off their newest album, Incinerate premiered on July 2, 2018. The album Extinction(s) was released on November 23, 2018.
