Biography

Formed in ’78 in Brockley (south London) by Terry Jones and his son, Alan Jones, Pagan Altar was at the crossway of ’70s downer rock and what would become the NWOBHM movement. The band followed a much less-traveled path than the other bands of the scene, choosing to infuse their ’70s rock and folk influences into occult-tinged heavy metal. They had originally released only a demo tape, which was reviewed in few fanzines of the time. They oddly never got any label backing, and the band folded until 2004, when they re-formed with much enthusiasm from their fans, who rediscovered their eldritch sounds. Alongside the likes of Witchfinder General, they were among the first to mix doom metal with NWOBHM. Room of Shadows is their fourth and final album, but their legacy will reverberate for eternity.
