Unanimated is a melodic death metal ensemble originating from Stockholm, Sweden. The group was originally active between 1988 and 1996 before reuniting in 2007, currently comprising seven members. Drawing inspiration from bands like Dismember, they produced two significant melodic death metal records: In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead (1993), released via Pavement Music (now under Crash Music Inc.), and Ancient God of Evil (1995), issued by the independent Swedish label No Fashion Records. Their musical style merges the melodic aspects of Swedish death metal with influences from black metal.
Several former members have been involved with notable bands such as Therion, Entombed, and Dismember. In 1996, Unanimated contributed a rendition of "Dead Skin Mask" to the Slayer tribute album Slatanic Slaughter II. Following their reformation, they signed with Regain Records in 2008 and unveiled In The Light Of Darkness in 2009.
Drummer Peter Stjärnvind exited the band in 2011, with Anders Schultz from Unleashed stepping in as his replacement. By 2012, the group was working on new compositions. In 2018, Unanimated secured a global three-album contract with Century Media Records and announced plans to release a new album within that year.
