Editor's review
If there's ever a genre that can succumb to self-seriousness, it's metal, which is particularly funny when you consider the tightness of those guys' pants. But count Thee Unright among the witty outfits. The N.C. foursome may be best known for its version of "Frosty the Snowman," an awesomely grandiose take outfitted in full metal regalia.
Biography
At first glimpse, this Charlotte, North Carolina based metal ensemble seems racked by anarchy. The music of Thee Unright belligerently launches off into a myriad of directions simultaneously. It is a "mob rules" type of atmosphere, as you take a closer look you comprehend the reason behind the complexity, chaos and diversity. One reviewer coined the phrase: "Commercial hard rock and thrash meets moody progressive metal from hell." The aura of darkness and power emenates from the music and appearance of Thee Unright but this unmistakable malevolence masks a redeeming edge of intense musical talent that crosses all boundaries.
Thee Unright wasted no time establishing their name and gathering a faithful following in the mid 90's in the Charlotte music scene. Music lovers looking for something to hang onto soundfully and visually elevated Thee Unright to headliner status at every Charlotte area club.
Frequent air play on several Charlotte radio stations as well as radio stations in Greenville, South Carolina added strength to the band's popularity. The unusual rendition of a holiday favorite "Frosty the Snowman" drew special attention on these stations regular rotations. Their spirited cover of this standard marked by their signature style and sense of humor made this a favorite during the holiday seasons of the 90's. The ability to take a very familiar standard and not disfigure it but make it unright was a true indication of the band's power, promise and talent.
Live, Thee Unright is mesmerizing. The demonic mix of sights and sounds lock up the attraction. These experienced musicians play with an interlocking style yet they maintain individual integrity. While watching the band live each member seems to be on different planets at the same time. They seem to be revolving as the show is evolving.
What have we learned? Thee Unright is like nothing you have seen or heard. Not predictable, definable, expected, with little or no limitations... or as aptly put by one observer about the band's left field way of doing things, 'Those guys ain't right!" No, they're not.
They are .... THEE UNRIGHT
