about
“Blood On The Altar” is about sacrificing your body, blood and spirit in defiance of a greater power that holds you back or opposes your beliefs. This one has something of a more Swedish-inspired punkier black metal vibe, filled with some really cool memorable black metal melodies and some classic heavy metal guitar soloing. It’s got a bit of old-school to it with some powerful, epic as hell moments punching through.

lyrics
At the foot of the altar
At the edge of the depths
The lines between the borders are clear
We follow our fate so blind possessed
Climbing the footsteps beyond
See the weapons and sacrificial marks
That point the way for us
Damned once more
These words we invoke on this night in death
Not to please the Gods
But to curse them all with blood on the altar
As we walk the realms of death
With blood on the altar that seals the end
At the first sign of light
That shows the seals created in darkness
And as our bodies create a monument of war
A chosen faith to merge as one
And carry us in scorn
My fate is sealed, I bare my heart
Deny the light once more
I stand as one with the chosen few
And speak the words to leave this Earth
With the daggers in my heart
A shining symbol of burning blades
Always at my side, no sun to show the dawn...
Looking through the shadows at the offerings we made
A mighty force we become
And damned in death and cursed ways
These words we invoke on this night in death
Not to please the Gods
But to curse them all with blood on the altar
As we walk the realms of death
With blood on the altar that seals the end
At the edge of the depths
The lines between the borders are clear
We follow our fate so blind possessed
Climbing the footsteps beyond
See the weapons and sacrificial marks
That point the way for us
Damned once more
These words we invoke on this night in death
Not to please the Gods
But to curse them all with blood on the altar
As we walk the realms of death
With blood on the altar that seals the end
At the first sign of light
That shows the seals created in darkness
And as our bodies create a monument of war
A chosen faith to merge as one
And carry us in scorn
My fate is sealed, I bare my heart
Deny the light once more
I stand as one with the chosen few
And speak the words to leave this Earth
With the daggers in my heart
A shining symbol of burning blades
Always at my side, no sun to show the dawn...
Looking through the shadows at the offerings we made
A mighty force we become
And damned in death and cursed ways
These words we invoke on this night in death
Not to please the Gods
But to curse them all with blood on the altar
As we walk the realms of death
With blood on the altar that seals the end

Wicked blackened/thrash. A great holdover while waiting for their new album on Peaceville to come out.

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellrippersupported by 23 fans who also own “Blood On The Altar”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

The Dread March Of Solemn Gods
by Ninkharsagsupported by 23 fans who also own “Blood On The Altar”
If the band's ambition was "just to" reproduce old melodic BM classics like Dissection and early Emperor, I'd say it is a grand success, shit even the cover art reminds me of the "Storm" album... However, I wish this album had a bit more personality to it. These guys are from the U.K., after all. The first half is majestic, the second half a bit less. Still it's a very enjoyable melodic BM album.
