Star Blood by Unfyros

Emerging from the spectral wilderness of Northern Finland — following the labyrinthine voices rising from totemic depths and guided by the Fire from Beyond — Unfyros channels a force born of darkness, solitude, and the pursuit of transcendence. Formed in Oulu in 2018 by Anti Ittna H. (formerly in Dolorian, Hexvessel and many more), the band has since evolved into a trio with Nox Vector (drums) and T. Von Kollaja (bass) — a three-edged dagger forged in shadow.

Drawing from the depths of Northern Ostrobothnia and driven by the beckoning, mind-possessing androgynous entity of unfathomable dimensions, Unfyros emerges from the solitude of the remote icy expanse — torn open by the emanations of the Knot of the Night — to unveil its second full-length album, Star Blood.

Star Blood is a pilgrimage through dissolution and ascent — seven invocations woven into forty minutes. During the years of its creation — through countless nights — the hungering arcane winds tore open a sealed gateway: a stairway descending toward the Great White Flame and the Utmost Gate deep within. From the shadows cast upon the shimmering subconscious Black Mirror emerged beguiling, ensnaring whispers, bearing messages from beyond the shroud of existence — until, at last, they seized both mind and flesh alike.

Serving as the messenger of this awakening poison erupting from chthonic memory, the Unfyros trio conjures with Star Blood a primal and visceral journey — rooted in dissonant yet transformative guitar work, lucid and monolithic bass lines, and trance-inducing, forward-driving drumming — all while remaining faithful to the band’s earlier embodiment of old-school, eldritch mid-tempo Black Metal.
