UnityTX are back at it and have revealed the details of their first full-length in three years, following up 2023’s ‘Ferality’.

Titled ‘Somewhere, In Between’, it will be released on March 13 via Pure Noise Records.

Vocalist Jay Webster (AKA SHAOLIN G) had this to say about what the album represents within their journey, stating, “When we got into the industry, we had to start playing by the industry rules and not so much by the rules that I had set for us. I was trying my hardest to stick to my code, but it felt like it wasn’t ever going to work.

“This album is what UNITYTX used to be before we got picked up. It’s letting go of all the tension that made us feel like we couldn’t do anything in this space and trying to push past that and reach—not our maximum potential—but start to see where else this can go. We’re trying to evolve both as a band and as people.”

The artwork for the record looks a lot like this:

The band have also shared ‘Enjoy Tha Show’, showcasing that feeling that Jay was speaking out in abundance. A gruelling, gargantuan slab of hard-hitting riffs and harder truths, it is the embodiment of standing on business and not changing who you are for anyone, and it sounds unreal.

Jay had this to say about the song’s sentiment, stating, ‘”Enjoy Tha Show’ was crafted to provoke thought on the narratives we embrace as humans, sharing our experiences to foster connection. After much reflection, I aimed to create something that resonated with my audience and mirrored my struggles. Seeking comfort among those who don’t understand the pain of feeling ethnically out of place can be daunting,” frontman Jay Webster (aka SHAOLIN G).

He continues: “At times, the words of strangers would sting so deeply that I’d share them with others. It felt like a natural reaction, yet my friends urged me to rise above it. Ignoring it was harder than I thought, as I was expected to just perform and push through the noise. So, I shifted my approach to simply enjoying the experience.”

“Unknowingly, I built my life around catering to critics, only to realize that the audience often reacts negatively when you stray from their expectations. This goes beyond music; our society often limits opportunities for those daring to be themselves. It’s frustrating, and I accept that it’s a tragic reality. My identity is shaped by my experiences and environment, and that cannot be changed. Where do we draw the line between empathy and judgment?”
