DESCRIPTION:
Unholy is a Finnish Death/Black/Doom/Avantgarde (?) metal band founded in Imatra, Finland 1988 ( The band was formerly known as "Holy Hell" but it changed it's name in '90. Under former name, the band released an independent demo "Kill Jesus"'89). When Unholy's first demos, untitled demo and "Procession of Black Doom" came out in distribution during the DM boom in early 90's, the style of Unholy was simply too artistic and original for the mainstream death metallers even in Finland. The EP/demo "Trip to Depressive Autumn"'91 however got much good response from the death metal fans and they got signed to Lethal records. Through Lethal records they released their first full-length "From the Shadows"'93 which boldly followed it's own muscial paths. Album never managed to be a hit in DM markets and the deal with the record company began to shatter aswell. Finally the deal was broken and Unholy signed to Avantgarde records. In 1994, band recorded their second album "The Second Ring of Power" which was experimentally taken even further that it's predecessor , using violins, more female vocs and keyborads was the work that the band's members were most satisfied with. However, once again, band's work did not manage to impress mainstream Death metallers and the album had controversial welcoming. This led the band in many problems with the record company as well as themselves. The band was eventually put on-hold. When the band had finally recovered from the loss in 1996 , they had plans for new material and a next album. '97 They got again signed to Avantgarde records and started to working with the next album "Rapture" which was released in 1998 and is considered their most heaviest album, by still not exploring any new musical fields. The next year, the fourth and till this date, the last album, "Gracefallen"'99 was released. The album conquered the kind of muscial dimensions in which Unholy had never been before. The line-uo went through some chances, changing the female vocalist, but still Unholy was planning tours and rehearsing for live shows. in 2001 the problems started again. Their deal with Avantgarde music expired and their female vocalist was kicked out. New record company was found, as well as new female vocalist, but only few days from that, band finally split-up, announcing that "Everything went wrong".
In 2009 the band reunited once again, and are now doing gigs and preparing for the recordings of a new album.

The song is taken from "From the Shadows" of 1993.

Lyrics :

The day was clear
Unknown feeling
You wake up and time stops

You leave your body
New dimension under sun
Leave earth far behind
Only in dreams you see it

Alone...

Spectrum through you
Bombastic experience
What you see you can't believe

Echo from universe
View disappeared
Now you're alone
This is twilight

See ultimate things
I'm the masters apprentice
Time of earth has ended
In everywhere are you
