From The Shadows

by Unholy

supported by

Cosmographer This is one of those oddball weirdo classics from the 90s metal vault that begs to be rediscovered. This is "doom metal" with a thin, hazy guitar tone, uncommon tunings and a drummer who is playing around with the tempo all the time. The atmosphere is dense throughout. Cool shit. Favorite track: Creative Lunacy.

about

REISSUE OF THE CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM FROM THIS CULT FINNISH DOOM METAL ACT – NOW ON PEACEVILLE

Unholy, from Finland, formed in 1988 and were among the first doom metal bands from the country.

In the band’s earlier years, starting under the moniker of Holy Hell, their style began as more a black/death/doom metal mix but progressed to a style of atmospheric, experimental doom metal.

Unholy recorded 4 albums throughout their career before disbanding in 2002 and leaving a legacy as a very influential and legendary act in the Finnish doom metal scene who are still highly respected today, alongside other classic Finnish acts such as Thergothon. ‘From the Shadows’ was the band’s debut full-length album and was originally released back in 1993. The album was known for its dark textured death/doom metal mixed with some unusual & often avantgarde arrangements. Unholy’s willingness to experiment with sounds and moods helped create a strong and uniquely twisted atmosphere on ‘From the Shadows’; slow pounding doom metal epics aided by the presence of creeping synths.

Unholy are often recognised as one of the forefathers of the funeral doom sub-genre.

The fathers of death-doom and possible forefathers of funeral doom metal. Their sound can be heard all over death-doom and even their more prog elements can be heard in acts like Dream Unending. Despite their tenure, diSEMBOWELMENT hold up to this day. Camelus Dromedarius

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
