Unru is a German black metal band renowned for their intense and atmospheric take on the genre. Although they are relatively enigmatic and not much is known about their formation or the identities of their members, Unru's presence in the black metal scene is decidedly felt through their powerful and often philosophically charged music. The band first emerged with the demo titled "MMXIII" in 2013, rapidly gaining attention within the underground metal community for their raw and visceral sound.

Over the years, Unru has continued to carve out their niche with several releases, each one expanding upon the dissonant and emotionally charged framework established by their early work. The singles "Als Tier ist der Mensch nichts" and "Die Wiederkehr des Verdrängten" showcase the band's capacity for both aggression and subtlety, blending scathing vocals with expansive, often haunting instrumental passages. In collaboration with Paramnesia, a French black metal band, they released the split "Paramnesia Unru," further cementing their status as a force to be reckoned with in the black metal underground. With "Der Hauch Der Freiheit," Unru offers listeners a glimpse into their versatility, continuously evolving their sound while staying true to the raw essence of their origins. Despite their mysterious aura and the cryptic nature of their public persona, Unru's music communicates deep, introspective themes, demonstrating their ability to connect with fans beyond the conventional boundaries of the genre.
