Michigan-based metalcore band Of Virtue are back with their newest single “The End” and the announcement of their highly anticipated new album Death Of The Altar, set for release October 2 via Arising Empire.
“The End” marks a pivotal moment in the band’s next chapter and serves as the thematic cornerstone for their upcoming album as it captures the weight of finality after reaching a breaking point. The single showcases the point in time when reflection turns into reckoning and when closure becomes inevitable by way of a potent fusion of powerful melodies and emotionally charged lyrics.
Co-vocalist and guitarist Damon Tate shares a bit about the forthcoming album, stating:
“Our entire journey as a band has been stepping outside of our comfort zone and DEATH OF THE ALTAR is no exception. There was a weight on us that never existed before and we wanted to do the best we could to shoulder those expectations. This record is our band’s ego death. This record is a rude awakening to be cautious of who and what you trust with your energy and spirit. DEATH OF THE ALTAR is a sobering reminder of one very important thing. Be careful what you wish for. As It may come true and become a nightmare that is impossible to escape.”
