Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

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. ‘The Second Ring of Power’ was the band’s second studio album and continued the boundary breaking approach to experimental doom metal which the band had established with debut album, ‘From the Shadows’, mixed with strong atmospherics and unusual structures. This 2011 edition of ‘The Second Ring of Power’ is a dream come true for fans, as the band themselves have provided footage of a rare live performance in Imatra Finland, from 1994, featuring classic Unholy tracks.
