Biography

During a series of hideous and decrepit woodland rituals, Ungfell was spawned from the mouth of madness in 2014 by Menetekel, who remains the dominant force within the band. 2015 saw the release of the band's demo, aptly titled "Demo(lition)", a raw and furious recording. Assisted by Infermità on drums and showcasing a sound accentuated by an array of folk instrumentation. Retreating to the helvetic woodlands (and most likely utter delirium) in 2016, Ungfell yet again sprang forth from the shadows in 2017, unleashing its debut full-length, "Tôtbringære", in February of that year through Graceless Recordings. Having taken the sound established on "Demo(lition)" and further delving into the band's helvetic underpinnings through lyrical themes and sound, the band managed to create a truly rabid work. Leaving naught but a year for listeners to digest the fury that was "Tôtbringære", Ungfell moved from strength to strength and released its sophomore full-length "Mythen, Mären, Pestilenz" in the Spring of 2018 through Eisenwald Tonschmiede. Having replaced Infermità with Vâlant on drums, the release showed a particular focus on songwriting and aggression in performance, without sacrificing the intricacies that made Ungfell easily distinguishable from other acts. "Mythen, Mären, Pestilenz" revealed an unbridled fury and directness that was further enhanced by a more direct and massive approach to production. Ungfell is affiliated with the Helvetic Underground Committee.
