Unionsuit was a metalcore band from Boston, Massachusetts. The band featured Aaron Turner, who was a future member of the band Isis and ran the influential Hydra Head Records label. Unionsuit was a blistering force of nature that produced some incredibly abrasive and intense songs in their short period of activity. Despite only having one demo and a sole 7"; Unionsuit managed to carve out an entirely unique sound that seamlessly blended elements of hardcore, "emo" and metal. One of my favourite songs by them is "Suicide Doors" it's a perfect balance of intensity and melody thats catchy as all hell. Unionsuit seemed to be a precursor to the new wave of popular metalcore in the early 2000s, yet they were too obscure to be truly influential.
