Pagan Altar


December 4th 2010 i went to Montreal to watch the UK doom metal band Pagan Altar headline at what would initially be the first ever official doom metal festival in Montreal!! I have to say the 14 hour or so ride on the train to Montreal was well worth it.The show Pagan Altar played that night was of megalithic proportions the most epic show i have ever had the chance to see.Pagan Altar played two sets lasting over 2 hours the first set consisting mostly of the newer material and the second set they played 90% of the Vol. I/Judgment of the Dead album.They also did this set with candles,skulls and black cloaks!The amount of people that showed up was intense and when Pagan Altar went up on stage the crowd instantly stopped and kept their hypnotic gaze on the band.Everyone was instantly mystified by the presence of England's most chivalric bands in heavy metal history!
