The band was formed by guitarist Manuel and drummer Jan in 2012 together with the earlier bassist, singer and second guitarist. After a few line-up changes, the current members decided on sticking to a highly diversifying sound, which can be described as a technically sophisticated modern style of Progressive Metal.

Unprocessed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching from the thrones
A darker future lies ahead
Risen from the fog
They stand within the ancient ruins
Fighting to survive
Superior than human soul
Artificial life
Combat in the deserts sand
Watching from the thrones
A darker future lies ahead
Risen from the fog
They stand within the ancient ruins
Fighting to survive
Superior than human soul
Artificial life
I'm in the midst of screaming crowds now
The howling slaves await
Encountering the golden crowns now
It's everybody's fate
I see the ruins rise from ash and dust
I see machines fight until they rust
I see the ruins rise from ash and dust
I see machines fight until they rust
Enlighten me of the ever-change
Blasting voices ruling lands
Sharp texture, septic flesh
They dive into the clawing hands
Demonstrating their warfare
I'm in the midst of screaming crowds now
The howling slaves await
Encountering the golden crowns now
It's everybody's fate
My combat in the deserts sand now
I'm watching from the throne
A darker future lies ahead now
The lyrics to Unprocessed's song "Ruins" paint a dystopian picture of a future world where machines have become superior to humans and the struggle for survival takes place in ancient ruins amidst the desert sands. The opening lines "Combat in the deserts sand, Watching from the thrones" describe a conflict taking place in a desert environment where those in power are watching from the safety of their thrones. The lyric "a darker future lies ahead" suggests that this conflict is a sign of things to come.
The second verse of the song describes the scene in more detail, with machines standing amidst ancient ruins fighting for survival. The use of the phrase "artificial life" highlights the idea that these machines are in some way alive, but not in the same way that humans are. The line "Encountering the golden crowns now, It's everybody's fate" suggests that no one is safe from the conflict, regardless of their status or position.
The chorus of "Ruins" repeats the same lines, but the imagery becomes more intense, with the ruins rising from ash and dust and the machines fighting until they rust. The final verse describes the chaos and violence of the conflict, with "blasting voices ruling lands" and "sharp texture, septic flesh". The lyric "they dive into the clawing hands" suggests that those involved in the conflict are willingly embracing their own destruction.

Definitely, this band is the best one that i knew in the few years. The skill level, they unique style and what they transmit in every single note is something wonderful. Keep it going guys, you have a new fan from Argentina.

As a bassist I fell in love with these guys listening Haven for the first time while I was (so) high. That bass line, pitch sound and so rich mid frequencies blew my mind; oh, many compliments for that TesseracT tattoo (I'm a huge fan of).
Greeting from Italy!

This dude is seriously one of the most underrated bassist around right now. I've listened to shit loads of music in my life, and very few bassist get me pumped like this man.
