Hailing from Madeira Island (Portugal), gathered in the summer of 2010 with the intention of spreading their disease called Death Metal.

Altar of Pain started simply with Zé (guitars/vocals) and Guilherme (guitars) after they both left their previous band. Soon as the idea became practice, a few songs were written, some riffs composed and that was the kick start needed for first steps of Altar of Pain.
As the creative duet started to recorded their first songs Marcelo (bass guitar) and Gabrielle (session drums) where asked to fill the empty spots and so having a full and solid line-up.

At the moment a demo is available for download "Altar of Pain - Splattered Remains" and the band is currently working on there first full-lenght, with the new vocalist, Elder Abreu, whom Guilherme and Ze had already worked with in theire previous band.
