No stranger to the specialist press or the festival circuit, Untitled With Drums have been together since 2014 and released their debut album “Hollow” in 2020—just days before France’s first Covid lockdown. Despite the timing, the record drew widespread praise before propelling the band to the stages of Hellfest 2022, the Nuits de Fourviere festival (opening for the Deftones and Baroness), and London’s Desertfest. Their signing to Season of Mist marks the next chapter for a band that has spent the intervening years consolidating around their current four-piece lineup and sharpening everything that makes them distinct.
