| Altaria's story begun in Finland in the year 2000 as a project of drummer Tony S. and now former bassplayer Marko Pukkila writing music together just for the sake of it. In 2001 that project turned in to a real band as the name Altaria was taken and the first line-up was complete. The first live shows and studio recordings were also made the same year. Altaria's second demo already awoke interest among record companies and the band was signed in 2002. Between 2003 and 2007 Altaria recorded three studio albums and a compilation album was also released. After Altaria's third album "The Fallen Empire" in 2006 the band did it's first major tour all over Europe supporting "The Metal Queen" Doro and Sonata Arctica. Large festivals as well as club tours have also been on the band's schedule during the years and Altaria is known to be entertaining and always give 100% on stage. In the beginning of 2008 the band started to prepare for a new album and later that year 12 new tracks were chosen to be recorded. The name "Unholy" was decided to be suitable for the new album which will be more guitar-based and "dirty" than earlier Altaria releases. Still Altaria has always been about creating very melodic and heavy rock with memorable choruses and "Unholy" is no exeption, as the force of Marco Luponero, Petri Aho, J-P Alanen along with founding member Tony S. lays it all on the line. The album will be unleashed in 2009 through Escape Music so stand by for the unholy invasion! | |
