Sonic Altar

**Sonic Altar** is a Canadian heavy metal band hailing from Toronto, known for their high-energy blend of traditional metal and power metal influences. Formed in 2011 by brothers Tom (vocals/guitar) and Nick Tzikas (drums), the band delivers fist-pumping anthems like “Under a Dying Sun” and “Kneel at the Altar,” pairing melodic hooks with thunderous riffs. Their 2019 album *No Sacrifice* solidified their reputation for crafting music that nods to classic metal giants like Iron Maiden while carving out their own modern edge. With lyrics often tackling themes of resilience and defiance, Sonic Altar has built a loyal following through relentless live shows and a no-nonsense dedication to the metal spirit. Catch them tearing up stages alongside acts like Skull Fist or Cauldron—if you can keep up!
