UnSun was a Polish symphonic metal band founded in 2006 around guitarist Maurycy "Mauser" Stefanowicz (former member of the death metal formation Vader ) and singer Aya. In September 2008 her debut album The End of Life was released .
Band history
Originally founded under the name Unseen , the quartet from Poland later chose a name that, according to the band's own definition, symbolizes the interplay between day and night as well as light and darkness.
In 2006 UnSun recorded their first demo called Whispers , which attracted the attention of numerous labels. The following year, the four-piece band signed a contract with the Polish label Mystic Production and immediately began work on their debut album The End of Life , which was released on September 22, 2008 under Century Media .
On October 11, 2010 the band Clinic For Dolls released their second studio album under Mystic Production.
Since 2012 Anna "Aya" suffered from a disease of the vocal cords. In 2016 the band announced the end of the band.
Style and review
The band itself describes their music as melancholy, dark and catchy. UnSun is part of the female fronted metal sector . Reviewers of the album particularly criticized Aya's unconvincing, childlike voice, unsuitable for the genre, but praised Stefanowicz as a talented guitarist. Especially the fact that the vocals were mixed in the foreground and thereby hindered the development of the guitar was displeasing. The general tenor of the critics stated that it was a soft-washed, uninspiring debut album.
