ATLAS UNVEIL MODERN METAL BALLAD ‘ALTAR OF YOUR LOVE’

With their new single and accompanying visualiser video ‘Altar of Your Love‘, ATLAS deliver a modern metal ballad bursting with a heavy and dark atmosphere. The track adds emotional weight and another layer of melancholy to the Finns‘ third album Sunder, set for release on 20th February 2026.

‘Altar of Your Love‘ tells the story of two people who face their demons together and can only find salvation through desire, trust and surrender. Both become the offering to confront the dark sides of their own selves. The deep, haunting voice of singer Patrik Nuorteva lends the song a dark, gothic aesthetic that blows through the cathedral nave like an icy gust of wind. Only the delicate strings and piano tones create a warm candlelight between the cold pillars of crushing drums and low-tuned guitars.

Love conquers death – the new album Sunder distils the central credo of ATLAS into a modern metal work filled with haunting atmosphere and crushing rhythm. Known as messengers of melancholy, ATLAS forge a unique Nordic strain of modern metal where raw emotion meets cinematic scale. The Finns blend ancient echoes and Northern mysticism with a contemporary edge, shaped by monumental and emotive production. Mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Silent Planet, Vildhjarta, Born of Osiris, Thrown), the album builds a sonic bridge between worlds old and new.

The new single ‘Altar of Your Love‘ is available now on all platforms.

The album ‘Sunder‘ will be released on 20th February 2026, as ice-blue transparent vinyl and as digipak CD, and can already be pre-ordered alongside new merchandise in the band’s webshop.
