In just four short years, Philly upstarts Unholy Altar have brought no shortage of new followers to worship their brand of second-wave-inspired black metal. Last year, their Veil of Death! Shroud of Nite debut full length even managed to crack Rolling Stone‘s 20 Best Metal Albums of 2024 list. In April, they’ll cast a pall of darkness over Metal & Beer Fest Philly. But before that happens, they’ll defile the Decibel Flexi Series with a re-recording of their classic demo ripper “Purgatory.”
Listen below and then head off to the dB store where we have an extremely limited amount of the issues containing the Unholy Altar flexi available. Praise their name get a copy before they burn away.
