Unanimated is planning to enter the studio this summer to begin recording a new album. Cabeza previously stated, "We are getting the final pieces together and we are all on the same page on what needs to be done. More and more music is written. Peter sent me two new songs today and Jojje is writing again like he hasn't in years, and talking to Mike... He is working on lyrics... It feels good! It's like it's 1994 again. Hehehe! We are very excited and ambitious to start the recording process for the new album."

Unanimated was founded in 1989 in Stockholm and disbanded in 1996. Largely inspired by Dismember, the group created two melodic death metal albums: 1993's "In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead" (Pavement Records) and 1995's "Ancient God of Evil" (No Fashion Records). The band also contributed to the 1996 Slayer tribute "Slaytanic Slaughter Ii" with its cover of "Dead Skin Mask". In 2007, the group reformed.

Unanimated current lineup:

Micke Jansson (Celestial Pain) - Vocals
Johan "Ufo" Bolin - Guitar
Richard Cabeza (Dismember, Damnation, Murder Squad, Born Of Fire, General Surgery, Dark Funeral, Carbonized) - Bass
Peter Stj�rnvind (Merciless, Regurgitate, Damnation, Entombed, Face Down, Born Of Fire, Murder Squad, Krux, Nifelheim) - Drums
