Alastor (Prt) - black/thrash metal

Biography:

Alastor is a Black Thrash Metal band that was formed in 1988 by JA (guitars/vocals) and JF (drums), who would later meet again in Decayed. A few songs were composed in some months of rehearsals, but the band went nowhere. In 1995 JA decided to record some of the old songs on his own but they were never released, just shown to a couple of friends. In 1996, when not much was happening with Decayed, JA decided to resurrect Alastor. Some people were invited to join this project and old songs were rehearsed together with new ones. The result was an album entitled ‘Gates Of Darkness’. No deal turned up, and most of that recording ended up being finally released in 1998 as a split CD with Decayed. After that, Barbarian Wrath released the second album ‘Crushing Christendom’ in 2000. The following year ‘Hellward’ was released, an album totally sung in Portuguese. Right now the band is working on the fourth album, 'Infernal Lord' (released in 2004).
