As Everything Unfolds is a British metal band from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England.[1]
Formation and history[edit]
The band formed in 2013 as an acoustic pairing of Alex Paton and current guitarist, Adam Kerr.[2] They almost called the band Beneath Burning Skies before ultimately settling on As Everything Unfolds.[3]
Their second EP, Closure, was released in 2018 to positive reviews.[4][5] In September 2020, the band signed with Long Branch Records, an imprint of SPV Schallplatten.[6] They released their first full-length album, Within Each Lies The Other, on 26 March 2021.[7] On 13 May 2022, Owen Hill left the band on good terms to pursue new goals.[8]
In January 2023, the band announced their second album, Ultraviolet, would be released on 21 April.[9] The album was released to generally positive reviews and has since been nominated for 'Best Album Of The Year 2023' by Metal Hammer magazine.[10]
Musical style[edit]
The group's sound incorporates elements of alternative rock, post-hardcore, and progressive metal, while lead singer Charlie Rolfe's vocal style has been described as a mixture of Hayley Williams, Amy Lee and Becca Macintyre.[11][12][13]
