Altar
An altar is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices and worship are made for religious purposes. Altars are usually found at shrines, and they can be located in temples, churches and other places of worship. Today they are used particularly in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, as well as in Neopaganism and Ceremonial Magic. Judaism used such a structure until the destruction of the Second Temple. Many historical faiths also made use of them, including Greek and Norse religion.
Antiquity
Hebrew Bible
Altars (Hebrew: מזבח, mizbe'ah, "a place of slaughter or sacrifice") in the Hebrew Bible were typically made of earth or unwrought stone. Altars were generally erected in conspicuous places. The first altar recorded in the Hebrew Bible is that erected by Noah. Altars were erected by Abraham, by Isaac, by Jacob, and by Moses, (Adonai-nissi).
After the theophany on Mount Sinai, in the Tabernacle—and afterwards in the Temple—only two altars were used: the Altar of Burnt Offering, and the Altar of Incense.
Altar (Sunn O))) and Boris album)
Altar is a collaboration album between Japanese doom band Boris and American drone doom duo Sunn O))), released on October 31, 2006 through Southern Lord Records. A limited two-CD edition was released on October 23 via Southern Lord with a 28 minute bonus track with Sunn O))), Boris, and Dylan Carlson, titled "Her Lips Were Wet with Venom". Inoxia Records released their own two-CD version in 2006 which features a bonus track on the first disc, "The Sinking Belle (Black Sheep)", and also features "Her Lips Were Wet with Venom" on disc 2. The triple-vinyl edition by Southern Lord contains all of the songs from their two-CD edition, additional pictures, and liner notes by Kim Thayil. The Daymare 3LP version was released March 23, 2007 and features a bonus track not found on any other version of this release: "The Sinking Belle (White Sheep)".
In addition to major players Sunn O))) and Boris, Altar also boasts an extensive roster of guest musicians/collaborators such as Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Joe Preston (Earth, Thrones, Melvins, High on Fire), Phil Wandscher and Jesse Sykes (both of Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter) as well as long time Sunn O))) collaborators TOS Niewenhuizen and Rex Ritter.
Altar (Bible)
Altars (Hebrew: מזבח, mizbe'ah, "a place of slaughter or sacrifice") in the Hebrew Bible were typically made of earth (Exodus 20:24) or unwrought stone (20:25). Altars were generally erected in conspicuous places (Genesis 22:9; Ezekiel 6:3; 2 Kings 23:12; 16:4; 23:8.) The first altar recorded in the Hebrew Bible is that erected by Noah (Genesis 8:20). Altars were erected by Abraham (Genesis 12:7; 13:4; 22:9), by Isaac (Genesis 26:25), by Jacob (33:20; 35:1-3), and by Moses (Exodus 17:15, Adonai-nissi).
After the theophany on Mount Sinai, in the Tabernacle—and afterwards in the Temple—only two altars are mentioned: the Altar of Burnt Offering, and the Altar of Incense.
Altar of burnt offering
The first altar was the Altar of Burnt Offering (mizbach ha'olah) (Exodus 30:28), also called the Brasen Altar (Exodus 39:39), the Outer Altar (mizbach hachitzona), the Earthen Altar (mizbach adamah), the Great Altar (mizbach hagedola) and the Table of the Lord (Malachi 1:7) This was the outdoor altar and stood in the Court of the Priests, between the Temple and the Court of Israel, and upon which the korbanot (animal and bird sacrifices) were offered. The blood of the sacrifices would be thrown against the base of the altar (Exodus 29:12; Leviticus 4:18), and portions of the sacrifices would be burned on top of it (precisely which portions would depend upon the type of sacrifice). Also consumed at the altar would be some of the meat offerings, and the drink offerings (libations of wine) were poured out here. All sacrifices had to be "seasoned with salt" (Leviticus 2:13, Numbers 18:19)

Manifest Yourself
by: AltarCheck, check manifest!
Yo, friend, with that stupid smile on your face
You're just another victim of this ugly human race
Wake up! and realize - you're a living target
The holy hunt in every second can be started
Yeah, it can be started!
Checkmate, I'll ki-ki-ki-ki-kick your ass
Don't make me do something like that!
Checkmate, I'll ki-ki-ki-kick your ass
Don't make me do something like that!
Manifest yourself!
Until they understand
Manifest yourself!
Huh! Huh! Huh!
Manifest yourself!
Until they understand
Manifest yourself!
Come on now!
One of these days
Ya fell in disgrace
The violence of the streets
Ya have to face... Yeah!
Do what you want! Do!
Go where you want! Go!
Your stepparents said to never come home

Checkmate, I'll ki-ki-ki-ki-kick your ass

At the weekend, there's no happy-end
Far away from your own motherfuckin' land
A bad reputation, you're a shit of the nation
You're livin' in a ghetto ?
You're brother is a killer!
Hello, hello, I wanna know
Somebody tell me what are you livin' for
Why the truth they always hide?
Please, mommy, come
And sing me another lullaby,
A mother fuckin' lullaby!...
Checkmate, I'll ki-ki-ki-ki-kick your ass
Don't make me do something like that!
Checkmate, I'll ki-ki-ki-kick your ass
