True Nature Unfolds is the first true full-length album by the Finnish post-metal band Callisto. It was first released in 2004 by Fullsteam Records, and then rereleased in 2005 by Earache Records with different artwork. The lyrics reference Christian themes in most of the songs.

The introductory track's title is that of a geographic coordinate that is pointing to Golgotha, a hill just outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified according to the Bible.

"Caverns of Khafka", an instrumental, is also the name of a game for the Commodore 64.
