Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, Altars is a four piece Extreme Metal band. Treading a careful path between ambient experimentation and blisteringly paced Death Metal, this uniqueness separates Altars from the masses. Incorporating these lush atmospheric textures and astral themes, the music that is Altars has previously been described as “ambience that takes no prisoners.” Whether directly or indirectly, through harsh brutality, or soaring cosmic soundscapes, Altars songs are written to draw the listener in, and give them an intense aural experience. The band insofar living up to their namesake – ‘Altars’ being taken from the Hebrew word, Mize’bah, meaning “to slay”.
Altars is
Cale Schmidt – Vocals
Lewis Fischer – Guitar
Jon Dewar – Bass
Alan Cadman – Drums
The origins of the band date back to 2005 but an established lineup wasn’t founded until mid-2007 with the addition of Jon Dewar (Sarsekim) on bass. Since formation, Altars has performed alongside artists such Cannibal Corpse [USA], Dismember [SWE] and Grave [SWE].
