1) Metalcore/melodic death metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina
2) Atmospheric Black Metal from Newcastle upon Tyne, UK


1)Formed in 1998, in the then unlikely locale of North Carolina, Undying’s blend of fast-paced euro-metal and dramatic guitar melody, mixed with crushing breakdowns and furious and scatching vocals have become as much a trademark as the band’s poetic lyrics, politics, and activism. Skilled musicianship and an emphasis on songwriting allow the band to deliver music and message that blur the lines between hardcore and metal, owing as much to At the Gates and My Dying Bride, as to Catharsis and Earth Crisis.

Formed and comprised of ex-members of such acts as Day of Suffering, Prayer for Cleansing, and Catharsis, Undying’s hard-earned reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the underground scene (with nothing but a demo in hand) landed them a deal with fledgling Fifth Column Conspiracy, who released the band’s debut EP This Day All Gods Die, which went on to sell out two pressings before the label folded. Garnering the attention of Belgium’s Goodlife Recordings, the band’s first full-length, The Whispered Lies of Angels followed, cementing their position as one of the genre’s most emotionally charged and powerful acts

In a turning point for the band, original vocalist Timothy Roy began suffering severe vocal problems and chose to leave the band. However, after long and careful deliberation, the band decided that they wanted nothing more than to push on and announced that they were in search of someone to fill the vacant slot.


2) UNDYING was started in 1999 by Hiraedd with the sole purpose of creating austere black metal of a superior calibre; bleak, cold and grim. One album, "A Haunt Within The Mist" was recorded in 2004, capturing the spirit intended. Read more on Last.fm.
