History

Sonic Altar formed in 2010 with their debut show happening on December 21, 2010 with Merkaba and Everyone Lives Everyone Wins. After that show they would play live periodically around Tennessee and Kentucky, sharing the stage with bands like Truckfighters, Valley of the Sun[2] and Jucifer[3] to name a few. Sometime in 2011 a demo entitled MMXI would follow with three songs.

Eventually in 2013 they would release their debut album Ritual Synapse. Their last show to date before going on a hiatus was on October 12, 2014 with Dirtbag at the Pile Mansion in Lexington, Kentucky. According to some members the band is still practicing and composing material though the lineup has changed. The current lineup is unknown.
