"Unitary" is the brainchild of Johan Hansson coming all the way from Uppsala/sweden. Unitary is a narrative composed of order and disorder, longing with endurance and the dreams of imaginary bliss in an age of conformity. After bands such as Covenant", "Cat Rapes Dog" or recently "Necro Facility" sweden once more proofs that it´s the leading country for innovative alternative electronic pop music! Adter a first compilation appearance on "Infacted Compilation 1" and the vocal guest appearance for "Frozen Plasma" on the song "Ebb and Flow" "Unitary" present their first official studio album under the seal "Safe From Harm"! A sound mixture in between early covenant and modern influences of bans such as "Assemblage 23", "Frozen Plasma" or "Diorama". Twelve masterpieces on one album far away from todays uninspired electro hear-a-likes! Innovative electronic pop music with an edge!

Unitary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thousand ways to not forgive
The perfect sky is dark and torn
A breathing wound, unbearing scorn
My being fails to comprehend
Down with plague and cruelty
And this is where, our ways divide
The light of day, won't reach inside
Joy and bitter pain
A soothing cry, my heart resounds
The broken thoughts I can't replace
So hard to breathe, the feelings drown
Joy and bitter pain
The bitter stain you left behind
The memories I can't rewind
A perfect sky is dark and torn
Consuming lies, and years of scorn
My being fails to comprehend
Coming down with fury
And this is where our ways divide
Enjoy the path to your disgrace
The light of day, won't reach inside
Joy and bitter pain
A soothing cry, my heart resounds
The broken thoughts I can't replace
So hard to breathe, the feelings drown
Joy and bitter pain
Your burning grace, has cleansed me now
And all illusion I've erased
Deliver me, release the vow
Joy and bitter pain
The lyrics to Unitary's song "Maelstrom" delve into the themes of pain, sorrow and bitter emotions associated with a past relationship. The first stanza describes the aftermath of a devastating breakup, where the singer is torn apart by the memories of their partner's betrayal. The sky, which symbolizes hope and happiness, is now dark and torn, indicating that the singer's world has fallen apart. The feelings of hurt and resentment are so overwhelming that the singer cannot comprehend them. The second stanza is a direct address to the ex-partner who is responsible for the singer's pain. The singer acknowledges that their ways have divided, and they have chosen a path towards disgrace. The light of day, which symbolizes hope, won't reach inside, indicating that the singer has lost all hope of reconciliation. Despite the pain, the singer finds solace in their emotions. The soothing cry from their heart fills the void left by their broken thoughts.
The third stanza continues to explore the emotions of loss and the bitter past. The singer is unable to forget their ex-partner's memories, which are now like a bitter stain. The sky is again dark and torn, which represents the looming presence of sorrow and despair. The years of scorn and betrayal have taken a toll on the singer, but they fail to comprehend the extent of their pain. The fourth stanza marks a turning point, where the singer has come to terms with their past and has let go of their illusion. The bitter pain, which consumed them earlier, has now transformed into joy. The singer has been cleansed from the burning grace of their past, and they have erased all the illusions. They want to be delivered and released from their vow of pain and emerge stronger.
