Unearth (formed 1998) is a metalcore band from Winthrop, Massachusetts. Their debut album, The Stings of Conscience, was a popular offering in the underground metalcore scene. Their music is mixture of metal and hardcore, categorised by complex, harmonized guitar riffs, harmony-oriented bass riffs, rapid kicks, non-throaty screaming, and politically based lyrics. They are also well known for playing seven-stringed guitars, while the bass player plays a five-stringed bass.
