New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/03/2015 -- Independent Music Promotions today announced the release of "Master Drone," the intense second new single from Calgary's The Unravelling since lead singer Steve Moore's (who METALSUCKS called "a thinking man's metal singer") successful battle with cancer. Suite 101 calls The Unravelling a band who "combines the alternative stylings of Tool with the adventurousness, ambition, and refusal to compromise of The Dillinger Escape Plan."

Described by Pure Grain Audio as "overflowing with a bloodthirsty passion," The Unravelling's debut full-length, the psychoanalytic concept album 13 Arcane Hymns, was listed in Suite 101's Top Heavy Metal Albums of 2010. Metalunderground.com called the release "a surprising firebomb of an album," while Pitch Black Magazine called it "a 13-track emotional and industrial-infused metal masterpiece."

Lead vocalist Moore was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. He was forced to spend the next year and a half in surgery and recovery, thus sending his collaborative partnership with the project's founder and instrumentalist, Gustavo De Beauville, into a hiatus. During this time, De Beauville honed his production skills on a wealth of soundtrack work and solo material. He released Volume 1 in February of 2014.

Following Moore's recent recovery from cancer, The Unravelling are now back and more focused than ever. After the success of 1st single "Revolt", which was acclaimed in over 100 publications worldwide and gained them over 20,000 Facebook followers in 2 months, the band are now celebrating the menacing and forceful "Master Drone".

About the single, Moore says "the Master Drone is certain of his reality, and therefore living through an artifact. He is opinionated, and likely a respectable, ambitious member of society. He could be a motivational speaker, an atheist, a religious leader, a 'life coach' or a serial entrepreneur. He thrives within identity and strives for new identities as he grows old. He's in all of us. He represents our human programming."

Gustavo says "Master Drone turned out quite dark, heavy and to the point - I think it's gonna be a doozy to perform live."

About the Master Drone art and animation set, artist Shaun Friesen says:
"Gradually forming, self-defined and evolving. Exploring the visceral, emotional and textural. From spark to digital star, gravity, gradually moving through a world unravelling. Future culture is a robotic simpleton to ever-Overwrite."
