The Unravelling is a rock band from Calgary, Canada. Inspired by diverse artists such as Dead Can Dance, Tool, Opeth, Nine Inch Nails, Arcana, Jeff Buckley and Dillinger Escape Plan, the Unravelling's music ranges from the engaging and inviting to the aggressive and threatening. The music is intended to be both cathartic and inspiring. A confidante of the band remarked that "The Unravelling sounds like the illegitimate love child of Lisa Gerrard And Zack de la Rocha".

Recent press:
"Shocking lyrics backed up by haunting vocals and intense music"
- Daniel Berdak, Danger & Dissonance Radio on WMUC
"De Beauville and Moore can write anything they want to. They have chosen, though, not to give you a listening experience of safe, cliché, radio friendly music, but rather have chosen a specific direction in their song writing, because they have something to bring to the table that is different and distinct."
- Slowdive Music
"This stuff doesn't disappoint - it rocks, it's heavy, yet a little nuanced in spots. All this makes for a terrific musical experience that you have to hear to fully appreciate.You'll like it - we do!"
- Headcase Radio
"For a duo they make an unholy noise with all the aggression of a feral pit bull on steroids. With it's recurring theme of being presumed dead and buried alive '13 Arcane Hymns' should come with a warning to agoraphobics."
- The Devil Has The Best Tuna
"I'm one of the lucky people which have had the privellege to be able to hear this before release - and let me tell you, its going to one hell of a beast."
- Amplified!
"The White Stripes can go fuck themselves, this is how you play as a duo! What The Unravelling do is very interesting, they use a mixture of tactically placed anthemic lines, self-induced chaos, atmospheric intimidation and mood manipulation.When lines like "I'm not dead! I did not drink the wine!" and "Are you...Are you scared?" are uttered by Steve Moore then you feel inclined to let yourself be taken in."
- Dirty Drew's Rock Revolution
