There are some bands that create music, and the there are others that create beautifully expressive worlds within their music. This collision of art and music is a unique and wholly difficult thing to pull off successfully. The latest to do so is Canadian blackened death outfit, Unbowed. Not only have the members created an EP of songs that rivals big boys such as Behemoth and Carach Angren, they have done so with an entirely DIY attitude. Said EP, Dogma, released late last year, was recorded and mixed entirely by the band. Adding to this DIY attitude, the guys have also created and crafted their first-ever performance video; again a venture taken on by the members themselves. The video perfectly expresses the band's penchant for oneness within the universe - a stunningly epic trip that captures the ritualistic nature of their art.

Unbowed began as two-man studio project in spring of 2011. From 2011 through 2015, Unbowed independently released a self-titled EP, a full-length album, and assembled a live lineup which played shows throughout Ontario, Canada including opening for major international acts such as Battlecross, Einherjer, The Contortionist, and Erimha. Currently, Unbowed is gearing up for the release of their latest and most matured offering Dogma. Dogma is a 4 song EP consisting of the band's most visceral and expansive material to date.

   

Dogma, the follow-up to Unbowed's 2014 debut full-length, Collapse The World, certainly reflects the deeper meaning of the band's monicker. The songs contained within are eloquent, forceful, and wholly unyielding.
