Portland, Oregon'sUNTO OTHERS(formerly Idle Hands) have announced their signing to Roadrunner Records and have shared a brand new single,When Will Gods Work Be Done. Produced and mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Code Orange),When Will Gods Work Be Doneis available now onall streaming platformsand is joined by anofficial music videodirected by Brock Grossl, which can be viewed below.

Commenting on the new track and news of the signing, frontman/guitarist Gabriel Franco remarked, "Our last full length came out over two years ago and much has changed, includingthe band and I, our name, etc... so I consider this a reintroduction of 'us' to those who connected with our music in the past, as well as a debut for the many who haven't. We did our best, and that's all we can do. Soout of the frying pan, and into the fire, I think we have all been frying long enough."

Roadrunner Records SVP of A&R, Dave Rath adds, "HavingUNTO OTHERSjoin us at Roadrunner Records feels like a 'welcome home' to a family member we've been waiting for - for a very long time.UNTO OTHERS' innovative combination of goth, rock and metal brings the genre to entirely new and unique places. They are pushing the genre beyond the expected to create a blend of heavy, dark, melodic songs combined with traditional metal we haven't heard in quite some time. We are incredibly excited for this band to be part of the label's storied legacy."

Comprised of Gabriel Franco (Vocals / Guitar), Brandon Hill (Bass), Sebastian Silva (Guitar), and Colin Vranizan (Drums),UNTO OTHERSformed in Portland, OR in 2017 and quickly made waves out of the Pacific Northwest under their previous band name,IDLE HANDS. Following 2018'sDon't Waste Your TimeEP, they released their debut full-length albumManain 2019 to widespread acclaim. The impact ofManawas immediate earning 'Best of 2019' album accolades fromMetal Hammer,Decibel,Invisible Oranges,Treble,StereogumandHeavy Consequence,with the latter observing, "Franco sounds more like Robert Smith than he does Bruce Dickinson,even though one can hear The Cure and Iron Maiden both in his band's sound."UNTO OTHERSjoined King Diamond and Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats on a sold-out, coast-to-coast tour across North America in support ofManaand returned in 2020 with the surprise release ofDon't Waste Your Time II.
