There seems to be a 'death metal' band sharing the same name. I decided to stream what I thought was the latest album and got some awful noise. Of course it wasn't the RPI band but Apple music are lumping them together. This won't help their cause I'm afraid to say.

We have had a couple of Italian Prog weekend votings in our local Finnish Facebook Prog Group, and there Unreal City was the winner in one round, with its great and epic Horror vacui from the 1st record. The victory came narrowly before LogoS.

I like this band a lot, especially their first record. Quite outstanding for a young RPI band!

Not sure why you consider them to be "not very accessible" they sound perfectly accessible to me.


maybe he meant difficult to purchase or something. Confused

No, just not always easy to get into.

They are available on the band Bandcamp page, the Laser's Edge has the second and third albums in stock for example.

Their last album was released in 2017 - anybody know if they have plans to release a new album anytime in the near future?

I love all three albums. They are one of my favorite bands, from my favorite subgenre.  I hope they find an outstanding new drummer.  Unreal City has one of the most impressive female guitarists in Progressive music. Her 2020 release by her band - Quel Che Disse Il Tuono was outstanding too!

I have La Crudelta and I think it's fantastic. Excellent material all the way through.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Well, that is still better than definitely accessible but not very good LOL
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
