Unintended is the fifth and final album by the American progressive metal band Damme Rung. In comparing the record to the band's previous releases, guitarist Mark Hagen has said that "wanted this last one to be more expansive. It's more a collection of personal songs than our usual way of composing. It's sad, sorrowful, and absolutely beautiful." According to Atley Dorff, the album contains "some of our heavier songs, lyrically and instrumentally. It has this magical realism undertone, this necessary transcendental element to express all the unknown pain that we're feeling." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Recorded at Electric Lady Studios August - September 2011 Mastered by Eddie Jobs Art Direction and Design by Lee Baker Atley Dorff - Vocals Dominic Toretto - Bass guitar Mark Hagen - Electric guitar Greg Houser - Drums and Percussion Daron Malkavian - Keyboards and Continuum Damme Rung would like to thank everybody at the following companies: Tama, Korg, Ibanez, Yamaha, Haken.

After reviving the 80's Teutonic thrash metal in "Cinder" and bringing the classic death metal to the top of the charts with "The Sound of Malevolence", Törnekrona is ready to redefine doom metal with their eight full-length "Q.C.I.C.". The title is the abreviation of the Latin phrase 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes', usually rendered as 'Who watches the watchmen?'.
