The tech-metal phenomenon continues to gather momentum year upon year, to the point where what was once merely a subgenre of metal is now recognised as a distinct style, standing on its own two feet. One of the latest bands to garner attention and critical acclaim is German-based outfit, Unprocessed. Led by singer/guitarist Manuel Gardner, Unprocessed fuse strong melody with rhythmic and technical bedazzlement, as evidenced in their latest long-player Artificial Void.
