Seattle Funeral Doom and Sludge Metal band Un has announced their immediate disbandment. Monte from the band has posted a message to the band Instagram account, laying out the events of the last few months, and future paths for the band members. After two demos, two full-lengths and a split release with Coltsblood, Un was one of the best bands in the underground metal scene coming out of the Pacific Northwest. The bands last full-length was the acclaimed 2018 release Sentiment, via Translation Loss, and their last concert ever was in December in 2023 at the Rain City Doom Fest, opening for Matt Pike solo (High On Fire, Sleep).
“Hi. In March I made the extremely difficult decision to part ways with my bandmates in Un – effectively ending the band. I wasn’t sure I would make a post like this, but for the sake of closure for all who were involved, I think it is necessary.
I’m sure some folks will have some questions, but all I will say here is that it was my decision alone, but I did not make it with any malice or ill-intent. Their contributions to the success of the band over the last 10+ years can never be understated and I will cherish this period of my life forever. It was just time.
For those who don’t already know, you can continue supporting Clayton and Alex in their current band @reburied_death. I’m sure David will eventually have a new project as well.
As for me, I will begin rehearsals with a new band next week, and I will share details about that as soon as is appropriate!
Thanks, see you when I see you. 🥀”
