We are now at a tipping point with Mother Nature and our place on this planet, and I had to devote the entirety of this album to what is happening around us. “I’ve spoken about the decline of our environment by Mankind’s hand dating back to our first record in 2001, and I've continued to write about the environmental crisis throughout our entire career. “Lyrically, it’s a warning shot record,” Trevor continues. “Coming out of the pandemic I found myself struggling to find my zone of creativity with writing, but I pushed through, and once I found it things caught fire.” Phipps has never been one to shy away from often scathing social commentary.

The frontman makes no bones about the arduous writing process for The Wretched The Ruinous. He'll always be a large part of the story of this band, and we wish him the best on all of his endeavours." Trevor shares, "It simply came time for Unearth and Ken to take a break from working together. It’s first album in their canon recorded without guitarist Ken Susi, who mutually parted with the band in 2022. The Wretched The Ruinous is a turning point moment for Unearth. All of the ingredients of Unearth are present on these songs, but the band continues to explore new territories as writers and players." For the bulk of this record though, the metal, aggression, and technicality are reminiscent of our Watchers of Rule (2014) album. “The track 'Dawn of the Militant' is a true mix of metal and heavy hardcore, that to me define what the term 'metalcore' truly is. “There’s certain songs where you can really hear the band’s hardcore roots,” explains Trevor. From the scathing title track opener to the explosive "Cremation of the Living", the brooding "Mother Betrayal" to the album’s riff-violent closer, "Theaters of War", The Wretched The Ruinous is Unearth pulling out all the stops. Teaming again with Extinction(s) producer, Will Putney (Body Count, Thy Art Is Murder), the goal was simple: create the definitive Unearth record. The Wretched the Ruinous is still Unearth, but it’s also the most dynamic record we’ve ever done.” Buz adding these new elements and killer song structures inspired me to be more diverse vocally. “He pushed himself to get out of his comfort zone and explore what Unearth is, both past and present. “Buz took the entire pandemic to write these songs,” says Trevor.

Dates may vary by one or two days due to differences in time zones.For Unearth’s founding mainstays, Trevor Phipps and guitarist Buz McGrath, it feels like the beginning of a new chapter.
