Description
DOUBLE-DISC EDITION MARKING 30 YEARS OF THE CLASSIC 1993 DEBUT FROM THIS CULT FINNISH DOOM METAL ACT - INCLUDES THE CULT 1989 'KILL JESUS' DEMO.
Often recognised as one of the forefathers of the funeral doom sub-genre, Unholy, from Finland, formed in 1988. 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. 'From The Shadows' was the band's debut full-length album & 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 & moods helped create a strong & uniquely twisted atmosphere on 'From The Shadows'; slow pounding doom metal epics aided by the presence of creeping synths.
This double disc edition marks 30 years since 'From The Shadows' first surfaced & in addition to the album itself, includes the entire 1989 'Kill Jesus' demo, which was recorded under the pre-Unholy name of Holy Hell. This release also includes a fold-out booklet emulating the original CD pressing, & also features the band poster on the flipside.
