UnityTX

Formed in Dallas, Texas in 2014 in the wake of Set the Sun, UnityTX develops a tense crossing between rap metal, hardcore, nu metal and industrial-tinged textures, with a writing that also draws on hip-hop, trap and drill while keeping the live band’s frontal impact. The quartet, led by Jay Webster with Brandon Castaneda, Kendrick Nicholson and Jonathan Flores, first organized around the EPs The Besides in 2016 and Madboy in 2019, before expanding its format with HELLWAY in 2021. UnityTX then refines an identity based on massive riffs, dry rhythms and an alternating flow, hardcore screams and catchier choruses, in a direct aesthetic linked as much to modern metal scenes as to American hardcore circuits. In 2023, UnityTX releases the album Ferality, followed in 2024 by the EPs Playing Favorites and MASTICATE, confirming a path built between short formats and touring. The band's trajectory sits within a scene where the borders between extreme metal, hardcore and rap blur, UnityTX occupying a singular place there thanks to its Texan grounding and hybrid approach.
