The Holy is a Finnish alternative rock band known for their expansive sound and dramatic live performances. Their music is characterized by a wide-ranging sonic palette that combines elements of post-punk, new wave, and indie rock with an emotionally charged and cinematic approach. The band was formed in Helsinki, and quickly garnered attention in the Nordic music scene for their grandiose arrangements, thought-provoking lyrics, and the use of double drum sets that provide a powerful rhythm foundation for their tracks.

Their discography showcases a commitment to exploring complex themes, through the lens of powerful storytelling and ambitious compositions. The Holy's releases, such as "The Incredible Ibex" and "Familia," demonstrate their ability to evolve and push musical boundaries, while songs like "Mono Freedom" and "The Rocket Song" display a penchant for anthemic choruses and immersive soundscapes. Over time, The Holy has built a solid fan base and received acclaim for their artistic ambition, with songs such as "Twilight of the Idiots / No Trial in the Dark" and "This Will Be the Day That I Die" highlighting their depth and versatility. The band's work continues to resonate with listeners, as they deliver music that is both introspective and grand, anchored by a distinctive sound that is unmistakably their own.
