Altar of Oblivion Sign to From the Vaults; Announce Burning Memories EP & Proselytes of the Apocalypse LP
Denmark’s Altar of Oblivion have signed with From the Vaults and will release their new EP, Burning Memories, this summer, with the full-length Proselytes of the Apocalypse coming at some point thereafter. The doomly purveyors were last heard from studio-wise with 2019’s The Seven Spirits (review here), which was their third LP overall and first in seven years since 2012’s Grand Gesture of Defiance (review here), though last year they put up the Live at Godset 2017 live record as well. The upcoming short release and long-player have apparently been in the can for a while, as the band informs they were tracked before the viral shitstorm that began in 2020, which if you’ve been keeping up — and bless you if you haven’t; I’m jealous — was three years ago. Therapy for everyone!
Alas, more likely not. At least not in the US. In Denmark I bet telehealth is free.
Still, doom will help as only doom can. The Seven Spirits is streaming below if you’d like a refresher on where Altar of Oblivion are coming from. I’ll hope to have more on the releases as we get closer to, uh, the releases, but here’s this off the PR wire for now:
ALTAR OF OBLIVION sign to From The Vaults
From The Vaults is proud to announce the signing of epic doom/heavy metal band ALTAR OF OBLIVION. The Aarhus six-piece, who successfully released three full-length albums and four EPs since their inception in 2006, has been one of the most convincing acts in the traditional doom/heavy metal Danish scene and is now ready for a new chapter in their careers. The first Altar Of Oblivion battle under the From The Vaults banner will be a mini-album to be released this year.
“We just signed a record deal with Danish label From the Vaults, which will put out a five-track EP named “Burning Memories” in the summer of 2023, followed by our fourth full-length album “Proselytes of the Apocalypse””, the band states. “Both sonic endeavors were recorded prior to the pandemic, and we can’t wait to have them unleashed upon old fans as well as new”.
Altar of Oblivion is an epic doom / heavy metal band from Aalborg, Denmark highly in the vein of the 80s style. Since their formation in the year 2006 (from the ashes of Summoning Sickness), they have released three full-length albums and four EPs, all very well regarded in the most traditional epic heavy/doom metal genre.
Now, in 2023, the sextet is preparing a brand new mini-album to be released this year.
