**RELEASE DATE: June 28 – 2024**<\/p>\n
In late 2022, Altar Of Oblivion signed a deal with From the Vaults and released last
\nyear\u2019s \u201cBurning Memories\u201d-EP serving as an appetizer for their upcoming fourth
\nfull-length. But NOTHING could foresee what was to come. \u201cIn The Cesspit Of Divine
\nDecay\u201d, the new album from the Danish epic doomers, is a concept album based on
\nthe diary of guitarist Martin Meyer Sparvath\u2019s maternal great-grandfather Jesper
\nWilhem Meyer, who reluctantly fought for the German Empire during The Great War
\n(1914-1918).<\/p>\n
Preparations for this aural endeavour began in 2005, when the band tracked a demo
\nversion of what years later would morph into the now completed album, which was
\noriginally supposed to be the debut full-length of the early duo incarnation of the
\nband. This album contains some of the band\u2019s first ever creations, and in many ways,
\nit can be regarded as some sort of Altar Of Oblivion-prototype, bringing forth and
\nspewing out their darkest and most traditional epic doom-work to date.
\nDuring and since the pandemic, Altar Of Oblivion have been in recording mode,
\nfinishing both new and old stuff, including two full-lengths, two EPs and an acoustic
\nalbum, enabling the band to take a well-deserved studio-break in order to focus on
\nlive shows from now on. A number of gigs have been confirmed for 2024, and the
\ncollective is now looking forward to hitting the stage again, heavier, older and more
\ninvigorated than ever. Time will tell if playing live is the right cure for a severe case
\nof discoloured studio tan.<\/p>\n
The origins of Altar of Oblivion can be traced back to 2003, when Martin Meyer
\nSparvath (guitars\/vocals) and Allan Larsen (drums) formed a duo called Summoning
\nSickness. Three years later, this doubtful project was transformed into a four-piece
\nnamed Altar Of Oblivion, and the entity went from playing simple black\/speed\/
\nheavy-metal to epic doom metal. The band has so far, apart from a number of demos,
\nEPs and a live album, three full-lengths under its belt<\/p>\n
