Unruh was a hardcore band from Arizona. They formed in 1995, out of the ashes of short-lived crust thrash band Uruk’Hai. They took their name from notorious murderer Howard Unruh, who killed thirteen people in one day. Unruh was born into a scene that the members of the band considered to be stagnant and uninteresting. They wanted to play intense, violent hardcore - but more than anything they wanted to play music that was interesting and powerful. They played music that is hard to classify into hardcore’s many sub-sub-genres, but under pressure I’d call it death metal-influenced hardcore. Amazing band, if you haven't heard them get on it asap.
