Stream ALTAR OF GOREâs Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies HERE.

No Clean Singing is hosting an exclusive stream of Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies, the primitive second album from cult New Jersey death metal act ALTAR OF GORE, ahead of the recordâs release this Friday on Nameless Grave Records.

Picking up where the Obscure & Obscene Gods debut left off, ALTAR OF GORE‘s Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies demonstrates how a band can refine its sound while simultaneously advancing it, delivering six hymns of carnage and wanton cruelty meant to batter the flesh and scar the mind into submission. No keyboards, no technicality, no decency, no humanityâ¦ ALTAR OF GORE is the primal urge to kill set to music. ALTAR OF GORE is having your skull bludgeoned by a heavy rock, repeatedly, forever.

As always, ALTAR OF GORE‘s output on Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies â guitar, bass, drums, and vocals â is created by sole practitioner The Acolyte Of The Foul Ones, except for the guitar leads which are handled by Joe Aversario (Siege Column). Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies was recorded at Studio D-10, New Brunswick, New Jersey, engineered and mixed by TG, and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound (Krieg, Drawn & Quartered, Witch Vomit), the album completed with artwork by Taylor Smith (Coven âZine). Fans of Archgoat, Impetigo, Demoncy, and Mortician should heed the call of ALTAR OF GORE.

The Acolyte Of The Foul Ones states, âAt long last, the Litanies are uttered! Thanks to those who helped to make it a reality, and to all the maniacs around the world who continue to support this project.â

With their advance stream of Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies, No Clean Singing reviews the album in great detail, stating in part, âTheir movements are dynamic, veering from massive heaving stomps to churning froths and outbursts of delirious violence that get the adrenaline flowing and muscles twitching, and while ALTAR OF GORE doesnât have much use for melody, it does have the capacity to spin up the music like a big turbine delivering enormous voltage â and itâs damned explosive too.â

Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies on LP, CD, and digital platforms this Friday, May 17th. Preorders are available at the Nameless Grave Records webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE. A cassette version is forthcoming via NVNM, the bandâs collective/label.

ALTAR OF GORE was founded by the Acolyte Of The Foul Ones in 2017. Fed up with the metal undergroundâs then-obsession with occultism, occult symbolism, and occult spirituality, the Acolyte sought to approach these themes from the profane world of flesh, blood, and bone rather than the lofty spiritual world. Musically, this was accomplished by channeling the primal energies of early Profanatica, Beherit, Demoncy, Impetigo, and Proclamation. The lyrics, heavily inspired by the deep worlds built in epic fantasy series such as the Malazan Book Of The Fallen and The Black Company detail the rites and practices of an obscure cult that practices human sacrifice for divination and power. The project debuted on New Jersey Metal Attack Vol. 2, one of the annual compilations released by Nihil Verum Nisi Mors, the collective that ALTAR OF GORE remains a part of to this day. The projectâs eponymous demo was recorded shortly thereafter and released the following year on NVNM Productions.

2019 brought an opportunity to take the project to the stage. The Acolyte called upon close allies Joe Aversario and SSK of Siege Column to take up guitar duties, and Warhead of Abazagorath and Blasphematory to handle drums, and the band played its first and only show with Cerebral Rot and Fetid in Brooklyn. Concurrent with preparations for the gig was the recording of the projectâs debut album Obscure & Obscene Gods, which was released in February of 2020 on cassette tape by NVNM Productions, and then issued on CD and LP in October of that year on Nameless Grave Records, who now prepares to deliver the second album, Litanies Of The Unceasing Agonies.
