Unholy was a Finnish Death/Doom Metal band formed in 1988. They were one of the pioneers of doom metal in Finland and gained underground popularity with their unique sound. After changing their name from [a2128395], Unholy signed with Lethal Records and released their first album, "From the Shadows," in 1993. Despite disbanding in 1994, they re-formed two years later and went on to release two more albums before officially splitting up in 2002. The band reunited briefly in 2009 but ultimately ended their comeback tour and disbanded for good in August 2012.

The last line-up of Unholy consisted of Pasi Äijö on vocals and bass, Jarkko Toivonen on guitar, Ismo Toivonen on guitar and keyboards, and Jan Kuhanen on drums.

Throughout their career, Unholy left a lasting impact on the death/doom metal genre with their atmospheric soundscapes and haunting melodies. Their music continues to inspire fans worldwide.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs.

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

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 subgenre, 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 &amp; leaving a legacy as a very influential &amp; 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 &amp; was originally released back in 1993. The album was known for its dark textured death/doom metal mixed with some unusual &amp; often avant-garde arrangements. Unholy's willingness to experiment with sounds &amp; moods helped create a strong &amp; 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 &amp; 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, &amp; also features the band poster on the flipside.
