  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, Altars is a four piece Death Metal band.

Removed from the muddy exterior present on their demo release, Altars’ contribution, “Nepenthe… Sepulcher” to the Tzun Tzu/ Altars Split, demonstrates the bands capabilities and promises a far more sinister and unrelenting entity to come as the band now focus on completing tracks for their debut full length TBA. .. ..Altars.. is..

    Western Australian extreme metallers Mhorgl release their third full-length album entitled Heresiarch. It is a fiery, aggressive, aural assault blending elements of black, death and thrash metal. Complex layers of guitars under-pinned by a furious barrage of drums and bass run rampant while savage vocals tear through the blackened metal onslaught.
    Heresiarch is the embodiment of infernal wrath and the flames of chaos rising!

  • A Dream of Poe - Lady o…

    Hello!
    The new Album “The Mirror of Deliverance” will be released in February 25th through ARX Prod. and it’s now available for Pre-Orders on our Myspace and Website!

    Besides the highly acclaimed song “Lady of Shalott”, which got great reviews all over the world, this album features 6 songs, from which 5 of them were never released before!

    For only €11 with free shipping included, this album comes in a luxurious Digipack with a 12 page booklet designed by Augusto Peixoto.

    Visit our Myspace to Pre-order our new Album! All the previous works are also there, available for free download!

    Quotes about “The Mirror of Deliverance”:

    ""Os Vultos" it’s a melo-recitation song in Portuguese with a moody guitar riff ... Its calm and has an excellent spiritual stability ... With brutal vocals comes a drama accompanied with a sublime melody only to turn calm again. It’s remarkably calm, warm and very minimal with a long guitar solo involved in reverb and echo. It’s beautiful in this gentle that radiates in every second. 10/10” In Melodic Metal Sound

    “The melodic riff from songs like “Neophyte” and “Os Vultos” has enough quality to compete with the big names of Doom Metal genre.” In Sound(/)Zone Magazine

    “It is with an excellent mix between sensual melody, anger and desolation that A Dream of Poe signs a work worthy of the biggest names of this genre. And it promises to be for posterity.” In Via Nocturna

    "And when the growls start at "Liber XIIX", I get shivers down my spine, so empathic the vocals are sung. Great!" In Amboss-mag.de
