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!
