Biography

Every now and then it happens that a new band comes on the scene and immediately takes the hearts of the melodic metal world by storm. ALTARIA, with their 2003 debut album "Invitation", was one of those bands. After releasing five very successful studio albums (INVITATION (2003), DIVINITY (2004), THE FALLEN EMPIRE (2006), DIVINE INVITATION (2008), UNHOLY (2009)) the band split up for private reasons. Ten years later ALTARIA has risen from the grave with their legendary and most successful lineup and together with REAPER ENTERTAINMENT released the cult album "Divinity" in a remastered version new on CD, digital, and for the first time on vinyl. At the same time, the band was also working on a new studio album that was actually supposed to be released for the band's 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, the pandemic made the band's plans and the recordings were delayed. But now the time has come and ALTARIA will release their sixth studio album in 2022. "WISDOM" will be released on July 8, 2022, via Reaper Entertainment and contains ten brand new melodic metal anthems, which are in no way inferior to the old classics. Produced by the band themselves and recorded in their own studio, WISDOM convinces with catchy melodies, driving riffs, and distinctive vocals. Likewise, the band's older albums will be digitally re-released in remastered versions via Reaper Entertainment in 2022.
