The circumstances and events that transpired in this period of the band history created the Pagan Altar enigma, far more than playing the various venues which only tended to keep the fan base localised.
It is hard to comprehend that a chance meeting in an obscure rehearsal studio with Sam Kress the editor of a previously unknown HM magazine would still be reverberating some 20 years on.

PAGAN ALTAR, the name so typified the band, although pigeon holed with other supposed Satanic orientated bands of the time, this was actually a misconception. If you were to look closer you would find Pagan Altar had carved out a niche of their own. Although a lot of material was devoted to different aspects of the dark side as it would appear from Vol.1 the overall picture of their material as a whole covered a much wider spectrum.
