Unsouling's (mem. Feral Light) Vampiric Metal Goes Goth (Early Song Debut)

Unsouling is a new band by Andy Schoengrund of Feral Light fame (among many, many other bands–Andy has been a busy guy over the past few decades). Taking the punky, crusty black metal sound Schoengrund champions with Feral Light, injecting a heavy death metal influence, and, most importantly, wrapping it in a gothic cloak, Unsouling is the vampiric answer to Schoengrund's artistic oeuvre. With spooky melodies and keyboards oozing into any gaps, Unsouling's impending Vampiric Spiritual Drain is a full listen, embodied by the song "The Ladder of Broken Backs," which is streaming below. A rocking, but gloomy song, "The Ladder of Broken Backs" leans into Schoengrund's gothic and vampiric influences, creating a lacy, but heavy sound.
