(lastfm) Altar of Plagues (engl. für Altar der Plagen) ist eine 2006 in Cork gegründete post-Black Metal Band aus Irland.
Sie besteht aus James OCeallaigh (Guitars, Keyboard, Vocals), Jeremiah Spillane (Guitar), Dave Condon (Bass, Vocals) und Johnny King (seit 2008, Drums).
Die Texte handeln von Beklemmung, Unterdrücktheit sowie Ökologie und Naturschutz, wodurch Parallelen zu der US-amerikanischen Black Metal Band Wolves in the Throne Room bestehen.
