It was 10 years ago that The Magus (NECROMANTIA) and Sakis
(ROTTING CHRIST) decided to form a project band under the name Thou Art
Lord. The reason was plain and simple: to play fast, loud , extreme
sinister music without restrictions and limitations. The whole image and
attitude of the band was undoubtedly Satanic in nature, with violent
overtones and an inherited rebellion against the ethics and lifestyle of
all major religions, including a devious occult connection. Adding
Gothmog as a vocalist the band became a hellfire trio!
Their first release was the 7”ep “Diabolou archaes legeones” (aka The
Devil’s ancient legions) shortly followed by a split 7” ep with the
Belgian black metal band ANCIENT RITES in 1993. The eps were received with
great enthusiasm from the underground black/death metal scene and they
sold around 8000 copies altogether! In 1994 the debut album entitled
“Eosforos” was released by Unisound Records. The band proved once more
their devotion to the extreme music with a totally destroying album! One
year later the second and more complete album entitled “Apollyon” ,
once again released by Unisound Records, was a testimony of diabolic fury
and bursting violence. Much better sound, much better music! The
receptance from the fans was once again huge but due to the obligations with
their other bands and musical projects, the main members decided to
freeze the band holding a future resurrection as a possibility.
It was 7 years later that The Magus and Sakis decided to bring Thou Art
Lord back to life!! Kind of tired of the hypocrisy and “technical
perfection” of the current black/death scene it was the right time to play
“no holds barred” extreme metal! This time Seth joined their ranks as
the main vocalist and Akis K. as the perfect drummer. “DV8” the title of
the much anticipated album from the die-hard fans around the world! The
album is a unique mixture of fast modern death metal, primitive black
metal, haunting melodies, twisted harmonies and even slight new-metal
touches. All the explosive elements of today’s hard/extreme music, packed
into one big bomb ready to explode in your ears! The concept of the
lyrics remains purely Satanic in nature with emphasis on sexual
liberation, initiation into Higher Mysteries and the quality of Satan through the
centuries.
The most amazing thing is that a project band managed to create an
album that many other bands of the scene would like to have done!
