Hellig Usvart
''Hellig Usvart'' is the debut album by Australian unblack metal band Horde, released in 1994 on Nuclear Blast Records. Upon its release in 1994, the album created a controversy among the black metal fans; death threats were sent to Nuclear Blast demanding the label to drop the album from its catalogue because the album contains Christian, anti-satanic lyrics that counteract the usual black metal thematics at the time.〔Waters, Scott. (Horde ). No Life 'til Metal.〕〔 Because of the strong lyrical contradiction, the album was thought to be a parody of the Norwegian black metal movement by magazines such as ''Morgenbladet'' in 1995.〔
The sole member of the band, Jayson Sherlock who used the pseudonym Anonymous, has later stated in interviews that the album was intended to bring "some hope, some light to the bleak black metal subculture."〔 Rowe Productions and Metal Mind Productions have re-issued the album since, as ''Hellig Usvart'' achieved a respected landmark status in the Christian metal movement, and it is regarded as the first and most groundbreaking Christian black metal album.〔Jonsson, Johannes. (The History of Christian metal, 1994 ). The Metal for Jesus Page!〕
==Recording history==
In 1993, drummer Jayson Sherlock had just parted ways with the death metal band Mortification and joined the band Paramaecium. During this time, Sherlock was charmed by Northern European black metal music but did not like the malicious lyrical approach of the movement.〔 He decided to record similar music with a Christian message, with intent to bring hope to the bleak black metal subculture.〔 Sherlock ended up forming a solo project, as he could play guitar, bass and keyboards aside with drums, his main instrument. In 1994 he formed a solo project under the name Beheadoth and recorded the song "Mine Heart Doth Beseech Thee (O Master)" for a compilation album by Rowe Productions. Later, Sherlock changed the name Beheadoth to "Horde." He took advantage of his former band Mortification's relationship to Nuclear Blast Records, and talked to the label owner Markus Staiger about releasing Horde's album. Staiger became interested in the project and decided to release the album.
Sherlock recorded an album between July 11–15, 1994. He played, produced, and mixed everything himself. A person under the pseudonym "Unblack Mark" handled the studio and recording techniques. As a graphic artist himself, Sherlock created the album's packaging and cover picture. Sherlock marked himself under the pseudonym "Anonymous" in the album's booklet since neither he nor the record company were supposed to reveal his identity. The album was named ''Hellig Usvart'', which is Norwegian for "holy unblack". Sherlock said in an interview about the name: "I read on the back of an early Dark Throne album, 'Dark Throne play Unholy Black Metal'. Horde was always going to be lyrically the opposite of this, hence: 'Holy Unblack Metal'. I guess this is how the 'unblack' name or title came about. The music sounded like BM, but because of the lyrics and the spirit behind it, it is not BM."
