Unholy were a Finnish avantgarde [1] doom metal band. Forming in 1988, they were one of the first doom metal groups in their home country. Unholy originally started as a black/doom hybrid under the name Holy Hell. After recording their first demo, Kill Jesus, they changed their name to Unholy. The band achieved underground popularity with their next demo and the 1991 EP Trip to Depressive Autumn, and signed with Lethal Records, an Austrian record label that released the band's debut album From the Shadows in 1993. Unholy then signed with avant-garde Music for their next album, The Second Ring of Power, but disbanded soon after its release in 1994. However, they re-formed only two years later. [2] Unholy released their last two albums, Rapture and Gracefallen, also through avantgarde Music. The band announced they were splitting up on March 25, 2002. [3]
