Unearth is an American metalcore band from Winthrop, Massachusetts. Formed in 1998, the group has released six studio albums.
Unearth was formed by Trevor Phipps, Buz McGrath, Ken Susi, Mike Rudberg, and Chris Rybicki in Eastern Massachusetts in 1998. The band began as Point 04 (containing McGrath, Rudberg, and Rybicki), and Susi was recruited soon afterwards. The band attempted to recruit Phipps while he recovered from appendicitis, but Phipps was reluctant to join. However, when Phipps showed up to a jam session for one of Susi's side bands, Unearth was practicing instead, and Phipps agreed to join after hearing the song "Shattered by the Sun." The name "Unearth" was coined by drummer Mike Rudberg as he wanted the band to "Unearth" a new sound in the metal and hardcore world. On the small independent label, Endless Fight Records, they released their first EP called Above the Fall of Man in May 1999. Unearth then signed to Eulogy Recordings to release The Stings of Conscience in 2001 and the Endless EP in 2002. During the process of Endless, Chris Rybicki left the group and was replaced by John Maggard.
Now - are you afraid or is the heart set on its time?
Cold - the silence reigns do we close our blackened eyes?
I'm calling on our testament to overcome
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome
I'm calling on my testament to overcome
I'm calling on
To overcome
We stand strong
We won't break
Side by side we overcome
Now deliver us from all the hell i've seen
Now deliver us for there's fire in these veins
We're calling on the strengths that I've come to know
I'm calling on
It's now or never
Overcome
I'm calling on the strengths that I've come to know
I'm calling on
To overcome
We stand strong
We won't break
