Philadelphia, PA.

Gabriel Franco/Unto Others comments:
“We wanted to do a double LP with Strength back in 2021, considering we had like 25
demos when we first met up with Arthur (Riszk, producer). However, the label made uswhittle it down to ft on a standard LP. So we had to make the tough decision to cut a fewsongs we really liked. These were by no means “duds”, in my opinion they hold theirweight with the rest of the songs on Strength. We just had to make the most cohesiverecord we could. In the end I think these songs will shine better this way and I’m glad tofinally have them out.”

Unto Others consist of Gabriel Franco (vocals/guitar), Brandon Hill (bass), SebastianSilva (guitar) and Colin Vranizan (drums). The band formed in Portland, Oregon in2017 and quickly made waves across the Pacifc Northwest under their previous bandname, Idle Hands. After the “Don’t Waste Your Time” EP in 2018, they released theirdebut album “Mana” in 2019 (Eisenwald), which was immediately voted the secondbest album of the year by metal.de. In addition to many top lists, the album alsoreceived praise from many other places. Stereogum named Unto Others one of the”40 Best New Bands of 2019″ and wrote: “In an alternate reality, where the ’80s
firtation with both genres lingered on into the decades that followed, nearly every
song on the debut would be the band a hit.” Mana picked up “Best of 2019” awards
from Metal Hammer, Decibel Magazine, Invisible Oranges, Treble, Stereogum and
Heavy Consequence, among others, who noted, “Franco sounds more like Robert
Smith than Bruce Dickinson, although both The Cure and Iron Maiden cut through in
his band’s sound.” Unto Others toured North America with “Mana” alongside King
Diamond and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, playing to packed houses from coast to
coast. In 2020 they reported back with the surprise EP ‘Don’t Waste Your Time II’,
before their second longplayer “Strength” was released in 2021, which fnally brought
them back to Europe in 2022 as the support act for Carcass, Behemoth and Arch
Enemy.
