Meet Unreal! A group that destroys stereotypes about Russian rock

Unreal - a group that destroys stereotypes about Russian rock. In order to make sure of this, it's enough just to get acquainted with the creativity of the collective. That there is only one song "Demon", based on the text of the eponymous poem by M. Yu. Lermontov ... But about everything in order.

Unreal history: a group with a good past and a great future

The group was formed in 2006 in Moscow. The staff actively performing on the stage includes at the moment 4 people - two vocalists (Arashi and Firefly), a guitarist (Wonder) and a keyboard player (Violencer). And, of course, the producer (Futurist), he is also a keyboard player and a guitarist. The first single released in 2006; He was called "Three Nights" and was the soundtrack to the film "The Witch". As in the case of many young bands, the CD was distributed as a free appendix to the magazine Dark City and a number of other editions of a similar theme. A talented young team was noticed, and already in 2007 the composition "Three Nights" was nominated for the "Best Soundtrack of the Year" award. This was the impetus for Unreal: the band began to actively prepare for the recording of the first album.

In what genre does the band work?

The paradox is that it is impossible to clearly define the style in which the collective works. But, in general, the guys try to follow the traditions of the so-called Dark Scene.

This is not even a separate direction, but rather a concept of modern music, which is characterized by melodious, but hard sounding, clear guitar parts. In the creative work of the group there is also industrial, and Gothic, and the trends of symphonic metal. It was this explosive mixture of styles and directions that brought Unreal's popularity.

Only the club scene? No matter how it is!

Many listeners have the impression that young Russian bands can perform only in some clubs, on themed parties and on "warm-up" for more famous performers. Unreal is a group that refutes this claim. Currently, the team accounts for more than 20 songs, and a multi-genre orientation allows you to make a program of speeches taking into account the target audience and the size of the stage. Unreal perform not only in clubs, but also collect such venues as "Pushkin", which is a certain indicator. But that's not all. Unreal have in their sleeves an ace in the form of a delivered fire-show. In addition, their work is very close to such a subculture as cyber-goths.

Do you want to know more about them? No problem! Unreal is a group whose official website can be called one of the most informative of all similar.

What are we singing about?

You can not ignore the lyrics of their songs. Firstly, the guys sing only in Russian, practically without using English or other languages. The central axis of all the works can be safely called mysticism, horror, the world of the future. But in the texts of the group there is often an allusion - a hint of other works.

Perhaps the most striking example of this artistic method is the new single "Milady", which was written based on the story of the Countess de La Fere, Lady Winter, the wife of Athos (Count de La Fere). The Futurist believed that the woman was treated unfairly by punishing her. Therefore, the song tells the story of the countess, which no one knew, the story of a girl who life pushed into the abyss of vice. It is interesting that the soundtrack was written on the computer, and solo parts were performed by the author himself (Futurist) and Arashi. In the single, in addition to the composition "Milady", the tracks "Loneliness of the winner", "Autodafe" and "The Curse of Dead Roses" were included.

As expected, after the release of the song on the Internet began to appear positive reviews on the work of the group. In his interview with Dark Radio, the founder and producer of the band made it clear that in 2013-2014, Will be engaged in a solo project "Angels of Starlight", which means that the group is sent to a kind of creative anabiosis. However, as early as January 2014, the single "The Heart of Jeanne d'Arc" appeared on the network. Here's what the Unreal team is currently doing. The site of the group is open to all comers. Resource pleases with convenient design and a good selection of material.
