ALTAR

The band originally broke up in the autumn of 2001, but guitarists Marcel Verdurmen and Richard Ludwig later reformed the band with a new line-up. The band eventually split up again in 2007.

In 2016, former member and guitarist Marcel Verdurmen announced the comeback of Altar with a brand new line-up. The biggest change was going from a male to a female vocalist. At the end of 2018, the band changed its name to AltarEgo to further distance itself from the other Altar. Under the new name, they released "The Exorcism of Jesus Christ" EP in 2019.

In the meantime, in late 2017 at least 80% of the original line-up decided to team up to play the first album of Altar "Youth Against Christ" live again, which they did in 2018 and 2019.

Reactivated in 2023 in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album in 2024.
