ALTAR OF PLAGUES Signs With PROFOUND LORE

June 5, 2008

Canada's Profound Lore has announced the signing of Irish extreme metallers ALTAR OF PLAGUES.

Having issued a few notable self-released demos/EPs, as well as opened for MAYHEM and WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM on recent UK stints, ALTAR OF PLAGUES is gaining "a formidable reputation through its distinct brand of epic, cinematic and violently crafted avant-black metal," according to a press release. "By incorporating an apocalyptic vision that correlates and reflects with the musical aesthetic of their aforementioned tour mates (if acts like WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM and IN THE WOODS cascade within the forests, farmlands, and waterfalls, ALTAR OF PLAGUES' expression reflects that of harsh urban metallic wastelands, rotting junk sites, abandoned boarded-up hospitals, and decaying skyscrapers),with moments that give the nod to the vicious leanings of melodic epic black metal along with the catastrophic histrionics of such acts as NEUROSIS and CULT OF LUNA, ALTAR OF PLAGUES have created a monumental vision; one that's scathing and visceral, yet moving and transcendent."

The band's most-recent CD, the self-released "Sol" EP, has been getting quite a bit of attention as of late, and serves as a mere taste of what is to come with the inevitable Profound Lore debut album (which will also serve as the band's debut full-length) in which the band will begin to record late August/early September for an early 2009 release.

You can order a copy of "Sol" and check out some samples on the ALTAR OF PLAGUESMySpace page.
