Altus : Siege of Limerick, 27/03/2016

Altus, live at the Siege Of Limerick, Dolan’s warehouse, Limerick, Ireland, 27/03/2016.

Bio

Formed in late 2012, Altus are a melodic extreme metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Drawing influence from and comparisons to artists such as Arch Enemy, At The Gates and early-era Sentenced, the band have enjoyed considerable local success and have gigged prolifically all over Ireland, including appearances at notable Irish festivals including Blazefest, The Siege Of Limerick, and Monsters Of Rot. The band have also previously played as support act to established Irish bands such as Overoth and Stormzone, and to touring acts from as far afield as Germany and the United States. The band also made it as far as the semi-finals of the first ever Northern Irish “Metal 2 The Masses” battle of the bands with a slot at the legendary Bloodstock Open Air festival, narrowly losing out to eventual winners Overoth.

Two self-released EPs, (2013’s “Non Omnis Moriar” and “Altus” the following year,) sold out within days of their initial pressings and the band’s most recent single, “Malignant” was released in early 2015 to roundly positive critical response.

Altus intend to record and release new material before the end of the year, with accompanying live dates in Ireland and further afield.
