Altars are a band from San Jose, California that plays a mixture of death metal and grindcore with a touch of black metal and this is a review of their self titled 2018 ep which will be released on August 23rd by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
A very dark, distorted and heavy sound starts off the ep while the riffs also bring in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies before going into a very fast grindcore direction which also uses a great amount of blast beats while the vocals are mostly death metal growls as well as most of the tracks being short in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's along with the music also adding in a touch of black metal as well as the music also being very heavily influenced by the old school by the u.K death metal and grindcore bands.
Altars plays a style of death/grind that is very heavily rooted in the 90's United Kingdom era while also adding in more of a modern blackened atmosphere, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover dark and occult themes.
In my opinion Altars are a very great sounding mixture of death metal and grindcore with a blackened touch and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Unholy Retribution" and "Black Magic". 8 out of 10.
