UNE (畆) is the musical project of Akira Inada. The music is best described as transcendental metal, with an atmospheric, all-encompassing sound, reminiscent of Sigur Rós, while also being (as it has often been put) "heavier than the devil".

While Inada sings some of songs in English or Japanese, most of the songs are sung in no language, and instead simply use the syllables that work the best musically. Up until alyertina, all his music was recorded at home, and the albums were primarily self-distributed for free, though the EP "A Cactus Towards the Circle Ring" was released in 2003 by the UK label Nova Bomb Records, and the EP "alyertina" was released in 2009 by James Records.
