Of Virtue is back with their first bit of new music in 2026. ‘Death Of The Altar’ sees the band give metalcore its next anthem and continues to build from their 2023 record ‘Omen’.
Reflecting on the band’s 2026 return and the story behind the track, vocalist and guitarist Damon Tate shares:
“It’s felt like forever since we have put out new music and we are so excited to show everybody what we have been crafting over the past couple of years!
We trade our health, clarity, and connection for things that never truly love us back on a daily basis. More often than not, we don’t recognize the consequences of our choices/actions until it’s too late. The guilt sets in and we set out to self soothe, compounding these negative emotions with even worse decisions, losing more of ourselves in the process. This song is our open admission that we as human beings are both worshipper and offering. DEATH OF THE ALTAR is a stark metaphor for how chasing these ephemeral moments exploits our need for meaning, belonging and connection in this world.”
