Black Altar

Hammerdown and Obsidian Gathering presents... Black Altar plus special guests Necro Ritual! Black Altar is an orthodox black metal band formed in 1996 in Olsztyn, Poland, and currently based in London, England.

Founded and fronted by the multi-instrumentalist Dariusz "Shadow" Sieradzki, the project is highly regarded as one of the most prominent black metal entities emerging from Central and Eastern Europe.

The band's music and identity are anchored in themes of Satanism, death, misanthropy, and darkness. Necro Ritual were born in the depths of South London in 2003 and have moulded their approach to Black Metal to deliver a toxic, hate fuelled assault that takes no prisoners.

K before increasingly heading out across Europe, this vicious entity has cemented a reputation for a no holds barred live performance that leaves no doubt in the conviction of their intent.

With the last release 'Bysmer'having set a new standard for the band and with a new release on the horizon, Necro ritual have also entered visual waters with a new music video embracing the mire of our impending apocalypseStanding firmly on their feet since inception, Necro Ritual lives to spit in the face of the enemy and the simpering apologist culture that surrounds us.
