The band was formed at June 17st, 2004 under the name "Vipera" by Adir Colonna And Shiri Burah.
It was a summer night when they started to talk about their wills of a serious musical career.
Adir that came from a background of a death melody band named Kna'an, and Shiri that came from a background of choirs.
They set next to the peer and talked about how they grow farther from music and how they miss that and they want to start something new.
Shiri suggest to form a band inspired by Sonata Arctica and Adir, who wasn't and expert about the genre, decided that it will be a good challenge.
They looked for musicians that will be part of the new concept of "Vipera", Adir turned to his friend Maoz (who worked with him at Kna'an) and asked him to join.
after that an oral agreement was formed between Adir Colonna to a band named Epidemic, that Adir will play with them and Epidemic's drummer and bass player will play with Vipera.
At the time, there wasn't a keyboarder though they wanted. Adir had to play both the guitar and keyboards, a thing that was very difficult. so they started to look for a keyboarder. though at the time the band bumped into difficulties. lack of rehearsing and some personal conflicts. it seemed that the situation won't be solved and Adir got into an argument with Epidemic, the other band which he played with and had an agreement. the drummer and the bass player left Vipera after they broke the agreement. The remaining members didn't give up and started to look for new members.
2005
They decided on a fresh start. changed the band's name to "ALTHARYA" and wrote a legend around the name
At the time they continue alone. looked for new musicians. at the same time they worked and they refine the songs and music.
Shiri & Adir decided not to wait and at May 15th, 2005 they released their first DEMO - "Tenth Night".
It was a tiny lift-up which was enough to put Altharya on the map.
due to that, a guitar player named Boris Siper turned to them and joined the band as a bass player. everything started to spread like fire, Boris joined his friend Eli as a guitar player and Jolly Roger's amazing keyboarder, Galia. they looked for a drummer, and they went to Winterhorde's drummer, Lior. the connection started after he purchased their DEMO.
He became more interested with the band, after a few talks, he joined. the line-up was finally perfected and complete.
the DEMO rolled over and recognized world wide.
2006
at July 10th, 2006 they released their Single - "Once upon a full moon".
after the release of their single "Once upon a full moon", they immediately started to work on their EP - "The oasis fib, A cosmic sail", that took them about six month to finish.
2007
At February 11th, 2007 they released their EP - "The oasis fib, A cosmic sail".
At September 22nd “Death Won’t Do Them Part” has been played on 102fm, radio Tel Aviv.
At October 6th, the band members were invited to a cocktail party with Nightwish at the ambassador’s house before Nightwish’s concert at the same evening.
2008
Due to personal conflicts about the future of the band the old line-up splited up.
Adir Colonna and Lior Meiran took Altharya to their hands and invited Lior Kadushkin,
Shiraz weiss, Alex Nicola and Vladimir Migutin for the new line-up.
On June a collection cd named "Melodic Metal Worldwide" had been released presenting bands from all over the
world with Altharya's song on the first track.
