UNHOLD are influenced by various kinds of heavy rock music – metal and noiserock, hardcore. Not to be easily stuck in just one section, UNHOLD is a multi-headed beast with both feet dug into the ground and the head surrounded by blizzards. Set to merge beauty and beast into one single hybrid creature - fierce, intimi- dating, beautiful and compelling. UNHOLD early on forged the term «Alpine Distortion», which still to date embodies their own consolidation of sludgy athmospheric metal.
In order to achieve more depth and density UNHOLD had its ears and eyes open for opportunities to comple- ment their sound and move forward, thus incorporating new members to the band - Miriam Wolf on piano and vocals and Leo Matkovic on bass. Leo was allready involved doing visuals on the «Gold Cut» tour 2008/’09, Miriam brings artistic vision and experience gathered in Bands such as Crippled Black Phoenix and My Wolf.
Besides some tours through Europe UNHOLD had the pleasure to open shows for bands like Shrinebuilder, A Storm Of Light, Minsk, Coalesce, Crowbar, The Ocean, From Ashes Rise, Sick Of It All, Biohazard, Strife, Endstand, Transport League & Tribute To Nothing.
