Unevil Hopes is a project from St. Petersburg, Russia. The logo seems to signify an extreme metal band. However, this is definitely not the truth. The first tape is the Extreme Thoughts promo cassette, only available for promoters. The other two tapes are available in extremely limited quantities (100 and 160 copies). One of them is the Pretranscendental demo containing four tracks. The other is a split-release with Bealiah from Indonesia. Musically Unevil Hopes is dark, mysterious and hard to understand instrumental piano music. It's not extreme in terms of speed or power. But it may be conceived as extreme for its vagueness and mysterious atmosphere though I have to say I'm not into this. Bealiah also has an extreme logo and I thought it was death metal. But listening to the split-tape, I only hear ambient synth music. It's dark and brooding but not heavy stuff most people here would like to get pumped into their ears. Music weirdly different.
