about

Unholy, from Finland, formed in 1988 & 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 & leaving a legacy as a very influential & legendary act in the Finnish doom metal scene who are still highly respected today, alongside other classic Finnish acts such as Thergothon.

'Rapture' was the band's 3rd album, & was originally released in 1998. Over the years it has become a strong fan favourite, & often considered a highlight of the band?s career, as well as a cult release of Scandinavian doom. The tracks on 'Rapture' continued in the well-established & trademarked style of dark doom metal exploring sombre & often trance-like moods, combining eerie keyboard atmospherics with a thick wall of distorted guitar to great effect.

This edition of 'Rapture' features 2 bonus live tracks, including a live rendition of 'Petrified Spirits'.

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

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
