Horde's 1994 album Hellig Usvart: One of the Pioneers of Christian Unblack Metal

Track listing:

1. A Church Bell Tolls Amidst The Frozen Nordic Winds
2. Blasphemous Abomination Of The Satanic Pentagram
3. Behold, The Rising Of The Scarlet Moon
4. Thine Hour Has Come
5. Release & Clothe The Virgin Sacrifice
6. Drink From The Chalice Of Blood
7. Silence The Blasphemous Chanting
8. Invert The Inverted Cross
9. An Abandoned Grave Bathes Softly In The Falling Moonlight
10. Crush The Bloodied Horns Of The Goat
11. Weak, Feeble, Dying Antichrist
12. The Day Of Total Armageddon Holocaust

Yup. & this is not an oxymoron. The music that this band plays is more grim than Darkthrone, Bathory, Burzum, & Gorgoroth combined, in my opinion. What's best with this band is that the grimness that they show in their music does not mean hatred to people, or to society, but the grimness they show in some of their songs is all about sharing to the world the imminent judgement that comes to the whole world, & also the imminent destruction that satan (& all his followers, even those who don't believe in God) will experience. This is one of the pioneers (Kekal plays christian unblack metal since 1990 in the Indonesian underground music scene) of the scene, & it's good to know that the man behind this band (Yup, that's right. This is a one-man band) stood up really for what he believed in, amidst the death threats that he was facing because of his "making Black metal clean". The man's name is Anonymous, & he's originally from Mortification & Paramaecium, one of the pioneers of the Christian Death Metal & Christian Doom Metal, respectively. It's really very sad, too, to know that their CD's very expensive in Amazon (as if I had the money to buy one). Well, this is really a gem not only in Christian circles but also in secular circles as well... So there. Ha ha. Hellig Usvart (Norwegian for Holy Unblack) to everyone!!! God Bless!!! Let's invert all of the inverted crosses we see... for He will be forever be glorious & victorious!!! Let's stop the lies this world dictates to us!!!

Yup I agree... when I first heard about "Thine Hour Has Come..." in their fans' Myspace page the music almost blew me away... Unfortunately I'm 99% sure that I'm the only Filipino who listens to their stuff. I think some Christian black/metal stuff even has more complex riffs than some of their secular counterparts ehehe... YEAHHH METAAALLL!!! I've also linked you up, bro. Metal rulez!!!

Evil, only perverts."

Well, sorry for the mistake. ehehe. Now there are a handful of us here, I think (I'm quite sure that I listen to Horde, but not with the others). Well, if my suspicions are true, then I would be very glad. Yup. Ha ha. Deep growls & Screeches from here in Manila, Philippines. Keep headbangin' for Jesus. Christian Metal rulez!!! All Bow Down Before The Light!!!
