| | BNR Metal Pages -- Pagan Altar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | The NWOBHM movement of the late seventies and early eighties spawned a few classic bands, several others that enjoyed some success, and hundreds of lesser-knowns that never got past the demo or 7" stage. |
 | | Then there is Pagan Altar, a band who seemed to be talked about a lot at the time yet weren't well known, a band who recorded an album in 1982 that few seemed to have heard at that time. |
 | | In a nutshell, Pagan Altar was doom-influenced classic NWOBHM, a style that strangely wasn't common at the time (apart from the brilliant Witchfinder General), with unique vocals (likened by many to a young Bon Scott, if he sang doom) and a truly unique and original sound. |
