Unwanted Subject is a metal band from Auckland, New Zealand. The five members all come from different walks of life but have come together to create ball-busting heavy songs. They initially formed in 2021, and have been lighting local stages on fire since promoting their first EP. The band re-formed with a brand new line up for 2023, and after three ground-breaking singles, their highly anticipated second EP is due for release 24th January 2026. Unwanted Subject get their influences from metalcore, hardcore and groove metal and their plan is to take the metal world by storm!
