Thou Art Lord are a Greek, Athens-based black metal band, formed in 1993. Over the years, the line-up has consisted of former or current members of Greek extreme metal bands Rotting Christ, Necromantia and Septic Flesh.
History The band's first release was an EP/split with Belgian black metal group Ancient Rites, an effort that would give the group exposure and lead to a record contract with Unisound. They released their debut full-length album, Eosforos, in 1994. Their second release, Apollyon, was distributed two years later, followed by departure from Unisound and a six-year hiatus.
The band's direction differs from the members' main projects, which have used rely on atmosphere, melodicism, and experimentation. Thou Art Lord plays raw death/black metal with lyrics about "apocryphal worshipism" and "Dionysian-influenced satanic philosophy".
They reconvened in 2002 and released DV8. The band released their third LP, Orgia Daemonicum, in 2005 through Black Lotus Records. In 2012, the original members, alongside El (Soulskinner) and J. Maelstrom (Ravencult), recorded and released the song Three-Headed Hydra. In May, 2013, the band, with a new line-up, released their latest album, The Regal Pulse of Lucifer.
Thou Art Lord are signed to Nuclear War Now! Productions. The band announced a collaboration with Floga Records to re-release Eosforos and Apollyon on vinyl and CD.
