Blackened thrash metal band, formed in 1993 in Athens, Greece.
The line-up consists of members of other Greek black metal scene like: Rotting Christ, Necromantia and Septic Flesh.
They would release their debut full-length album [m=442231] the following year, in 1994. This debut classic masterpiece is considered to be one of the most influential albums of this era.
Their second release, Apollyon, would be distributed two years later, followed by departure from Unisound and a 6-year hiatus.
The direction of the band is different from the members' main projects, which have used unpredictable streaks of atmosphere, melodicism and experimentation. On the contrary, Thou Art Lord's musical approach is occult, raw, unrelenting black/death metal, with lyrical themes of apocryphal worshipism and Dionysian-influenced satanic philosophy.
They reconvened in 2002 and released DV8.
Their third LP, Orgia Daemonicum, was released in 2005 through the Greek record Label Black Lotus Records. In 2012, the original members, alongside El (Soulskinner) and J. Maelstrom (Ravencult), recorded and released a new song, Three-Headed Hydra. In May, 2013 the band, with their new line-up, released their latest album, The Regal Pulse of Lucifer.
Thou Art Lord are currently signed to the underground label Nuclear War Now! Productions.
