We are very excited to announce the signing of Strike First’s ALTARS to Facedown Records, and to show you their brand new lyric video for “Scum”, the first single from their upcoming Facedown debut “Conclusions”. “Conclusions” will be released on June 5 and pre-orders will launch next week.

Altars formed in early 2010 with the drive to present forceful passionate, heavy hardcore/metal. After releasing their debut EP “Opposition” in July 2011 on Strike First Records, they are back with 12 tracks that make up one of the finest heavy albums of 2012 in “Conclusions”. Altars have matured by leaps and bounds and posses a dynamic range within their songs that many veteran bands are not even capable of reaching. The creative songwriting and top notch production on “Conclusions” are sure to help make a mark for Altars in the heavy music scene in 2012 and beyond.
