Of Virtue release new album and unleash new video for ‘Too Late’

Michigan metalcore force Of Virtue unleash their highly anticipated fourth studio album Death Of The Altar, out now. Following the breakthrough success of 2023’s Omen, the new record sees the band pushing their sound into heavier, darker and more emotionally charged territory while delivering some of their most immediate songwriting to date. In celebration, Of Virtue are now releasing a brand new video for the track ‘Too Late’.

Built on crushing guitar riffs, industrial electronics, atmospheric production and the striking contrast between Tyler Ennis and Damon Tate’s vocals, Death Of The Altar moves effortlessly between claustrophobic heaviness and enormous, soaring choruses. Across the record, Of Virtue explore what happens when devotion becomes destructive, when love turns into dependency and when the things we give ourselves to begin taking more than they give back.

That idea runs through the album in different forms. Relationships collapse under the weight of obsession, guilt and resentment, while elsewhere the band confront isolation, grief, mortality, mental turmoil and the consequences of self-destructive behaviour. Religious imagery repeatedly collides with deeply human experiences of love and suffering, turning the altar into a symbol for everything we worship, sacrifice for and eventually may have to leave behind.
