Michigan metalcore outfit Of Virtue have returned with their first new music of 2026, unveiling a brand-new single titled ‘Death Of The Altar’. The track arrives via Arising Empire and is accompanied by an official music video.
The new song follows the band’s 2023 full-length OMEN and sees the group expanding their sound while leaning into heavier emotional themes. ‘Death Of The Altar’ was co-written alongside Lee Albrecht (Bilmuri, The Devil Wears Prada) and Evan McKeever (Starset, Koe Wetzel), with the accompanying visual helmed by Blackwolf Imaging and Levine Pictures.
Speaking on the release, guitarist/vocalist Damon Tate shared:
“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.”
