History
Formed in 2013, they released their debut studio album In Concretion the following year. This was followed by their debut EP Perception in 2016.{{cite web | url=https://allabouttherock.co.uk/unprocessed-perception-ep/ | title=Unprocessed – Perception EP | work=allabouttherock.co.uk | date=30 October 2016 | accessdate=28 April 2025}} This marked the last release with band members Simon Lorenz and Jan Aimène.
The group released their second studio album, Covenant, in 2018 with new bassist David John Levy and drummer Leon Pfeifer. Both had previously played in the band These Days Remain, which had performed with Unprocessed in previous years. Unprocessed released their third album, Artifical Void, on Long Branch Records in 2019.{{cite web|access-date=2022-11-20 |language=en |title=Spirit of Metal: Unprocessed |url=https://www.spirit-of-metal.com/en/band/Unprocessed}} This was the last album with guitarist Christopher Talosi, with Fernandes remaining as the band's sole founding member.
In early 2020, Unprocessed accompanied Polyphia on their European tour. This led to a collaboration on the single " Real", which was released in July of that year, featuring Tim Henson, one of Polyphia's guitarists, and their bassist Clay Gober.{{cite web|access-date=2022-11-20 |author=James Weaver |date=2020-07-17 |language=en |title=Unprocessed and Polyphia collaborate for new single ‘Real’ |url=https://distortedsoundmag.com/unprocessed-and-polyphia-collaborate-for-new-single-real/}}
In August 2022, they released their fourth full length album Gold.
On September 12, 2023, the band released "Thrash", the first single from their fifth album ...And Everything in Between, which was released on December 1, 2023.{{cite web|access-date=2022-09-18 |author=Florian Schaffer |date=2022-09-13 |title=UNPROCESSED: neues Album “…And Everything In Between” am 1.
