UNITYTX Share New Single “Lost In Dayz”

Hardcore/hip-hop band UNITYTX have shared their newest single “LOST IN DAYZ” off of their upcoming album “FERALITY”. “’LOST IN DAYZ’ is about growing up and watching everything turn to black” shares the band on the new track. “I often reminisce in nostalgia but it feels like I’m daydreaming my life away. You eventually start to lose track of everything and find yourself only waking up just to fall asleep after strenuous thoughts have thrilled you all day”.

“You never know how much of the irreverent constant you can handle”.

Recently, UNITYTX announced their new album “FERALITY”, due for release on September 8 via Pure Noise Records and shared lead single “ROC SH!T”. Produced by Andrew Wade (Wage War, A Day To Remember), “FERALITY” finds UNITYTX confronting the last few years head-on with a blistering cocktail of car crash energy, sludgy horror-show macabre, industrial metal sheen and sinister subliminality.

“’FERALITY’ has been a challenge of what it is to prevail while tiptoeing on the edge of sanity, like an animal being tormented in a cage” says the band. “One could be driven completely unhinged when the effort is not acknowledged — this is an example. I speak on how it feels to not be welcomed into a space that was for the misunderstood – how it feels to lose yourself through creation, relations, and being complacent. I’ve given yet another part of myself to complete this piece of work. Set to deliver with my prosperity”.

“FERALITY” is available to pre-order now HERE.

“It just feels good to scream at the top of my lungs” admits UNITYTX vocalist Jay Webster. “And not even at anyone. Sometimes you just need to scream”.

“FERALITY” follows UNTITYTX’s 2019’s “Madboy”, their first EP for Pure Noise Records that elevated the Dallas-based quartet (Webster, guitarist Ricky Cova, bassist Kendrick Nicholson and drummer Jonathan Flores) onto tours with the likes of Silverstein, The Amity Affliction and Poppy and shone a spotlight on the genre-bending sonic blend UNITYTX have been building in the underground since 2014.

“We put out Madboy and then COVID hit. It was like we were having to start back at square one” Webster admits. “That anxiety, the feeling like it’s not good enough no matter how hard you’re working – it really took a toll on me. It feels like you’re an animal in a cage, dealing with repetition and anger until you hit your breaking point”.

There’s not much self-grace given, from the opening notes of “ROTTING AWAY (GORE)”, bathed in seven-string doom, to the haunting “STING” and album standout “LOST IN DAYZ”, which paints an all-too-familiar cycle of anxiety-induced anger and lost innocence that bubbles to the album’s most harrowing chorus.

But when UNITYTX cut these more caustic moments, whether with the swinging verve of “ROC SH!T”, leading with full-chested machismo and swagger, or their some of their most brilliantly melodic material to date “FERALITY” really begins to take shape, marrying the brutality of turn-of-the-century hard rock, swagger of hardcore hip-hop, and shapeshifting spirit of new-age metalcore, careening through the last 25 years of heavy music while pushing the genre forward in captivating new ways.

“I started doing this because I wanted to play music with my friends, then eventually I realized it had potential because I could write and say anything I wanted” Webster explains. “I want our music to be hip-hop-adjacent but also into old-school nü-metal and hardcore and metalcore – all of it. People always say, ‘Oh, you sound like this band or that band.’ Bro, I’m just a songwriter”.
