Altars is an extreme metal band from Adelaide, Australia. The beginings of the band go as far back as 2005, but a solid lineup wasn't founded until 2007. The name, Altars, is taken from the Hebrew mizbe'ah, a word meaning "to slay".
The style is a merging of death and doom, extreme and ambient, physical and metaphysical.
