[OrionErathos1]

Sir...which tuning do you use? It's perfect!

[thaiscarolinesousa]

demais adoro black metal

[shaitangod]

Brilliant. Say hello to Urmas from me :)

[Faschley]

So fucking good. This song is easily one of my top favorites now. Thanks for sharing.

[Andrucha93]

great song maybe, but doesnt have any sense of black metal. its melodic, but black metal?

[spectrotripping]

Simply amazing.



[HillaryHitler]

God and Satan both are fictional SHIT!

Their believers are INSANE!

Death will prove them WRONG!

Evil is a Child Molester

Good is healing a sick child

HAIL REALITY!

[WarLord369]

is that vader's ram guitar ??? i am trying to find it where did u get urs ?

[MrRppd2shrds]

doing black metal poses at passing cars kills christians they are anally raped for eternity when they expect to go float around on clouds

[Ilanney]

the way I look at it is..(here we go) Religion can be very decieving, it may promise things like "Immortality" which a human being simply can not grasp. too good to be true. many people are scared by religion becouse of the fact that all 3 of the worls leading religions and most others, state that there is a place for those who have not been rightious with "God" or have sinned too much. (Hell, Haities, Erebos, ect.) well damn eternally burning would suck. hahaha it may be just a scare tactic.

[Alexbadita]

wow most u kids are retarded losers..just let the man play the guitar and listen.. good playing bro ..much talent

[Dimdez]

Why aren't you guys out there making millions *_*

[metalklown]

This is absolutely sick! Black metal is the best thing I have ever heard of in my intire life! Not weed. Not sex. Not a semi nude rub down that ends with sex, AND an after toke. No. Black FUCKING metal!

[IamBaphoMetal666]

Fuck religion, this kicks ass.

[ninjafreak191]

Do you guys have a facebook?

[LordBelial]

@Soulfree2008 It's not just christian "bashing"...All religions will always be under attack by myself, and i hope for other like minded-thinkers to do the same. The religious are the enemy. Anything or anyone that stops the progression of humanity, attempt using fear, chaos,death as a form of mind control, will always be the enemy. Without the evolution of man, we will always be stuck in times where religion ruled. It's time for the non-believers to finally speak their minds.

[MEGADETH2702]

@LordBelial Yes, certain religions are stopping humanity from progressing, but some of them are actually aiding in the progression you speak of. Instead of being angry, narrow-minded and hateful, we should stop wasting our energy, time, and resources in putting religion (as if it is one giant enemy, which it is not) "under attack". By "attacking" them, are you not in a sense also spreading fear and chaos? Ignore their wrong doings, and do all you can to aid humanity. \m/

[LordBelial]

@MEGADETH2702 No religion is helping the progression. I am not the narrow minded, hateful one in the least. The bible says multiple times that it there is only one way, and that way is through the bible. The bible preache

s, constantly, about the death of gays, of the non believers, it promotes rape, and genocide, god alone kills over 2 million people in the bible, not even including the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, because there were no exact numbers. Religion IS the enemy to society.

[MEGADETH2702]

@LordBelial The "being angry, narrow-minded and hateful" statement wasn't directed at you (I don't know you enough to say), but most metal heads jump on the anti-religious bandwagon without any critical thought, being exactly that. Anyone can look at religious texts and pick out what is bad. Religion has spread more good values than bad. Yes we have a long way to go as a species, but religion has played a large role in getting us here. The true enemy is ignorance and a lack of education.

[LordBelial]

I don't know about "most" metal heads jumping on that band wagon, all my friends who listen to metal are rather intelligent and informed on religious matters.Religion has not spread more good values than bad, if you read the bible very carefully, the bad HIGHLY outweighs any good. Religion played a huge part, 2000 years ago, this is why the non-believer population is finally rising, and quickly.Religion hasn't evolved one bit, and thats why it must be done away with.Religion promotes ignorance.

[LordBelial]

@MEGADETH2702 Furthermore, it's not "attacking" religion. Its me standing up for whats right, the truth, fact, reality. If they fear what scientists have already debunked regarding faith, that is not my problem. Ignoring their "wrong doings" is exactly what will not help humanity, and it doesn't take religion to aid people, it takes people to aid people.

[MEGADETH2702]

@LordBelial Again, you can look at their texts all day and pick out the points you don't like (I'm actually interested in where it promotes rape, I've never seen that before). Like it or not, our society is today built on the values spread by monotheism. To say that we got where we are today without religion is absurd. I know that one merely has to open up a history book to see the countless atrocities committed by Christianity and Islam, but they have simultaneously allowed us to get here.

[LordBelial]

@MEGADETH2702 Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14) Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

[MEGADETH2702]

@LordBelial Humanity learns from their mistakes. The point of my argument is that focusing your entire philosophy on being anti-Christian is stupid. There are better ways to fix the world than by channeling our hatred towards the mistakes and follies of others. They may not be right, but you can be way better than them through leaving them to toil in their ignorance and focusing solely on doing for humanity what they are not. Namely helping us get beyond our current state of being. Stay well \m/

[LordBelial]

@MEGADETH2702 You know nothing about me, my arguments are against all religions, of course christianity is going to appear more because it is what is present in America today. IT'S NOT HATRED! You just dont get it. The founders of the states were secularists and we weren't founded on christian dogma. Religion is a 2000 year old scare tactic and is filled with nonsense, lies, unicorns, among other INSANELY obscure ideas. Religion gets no credibility for where we are today. None.

[devildirtstraker666]

@LordBelial totally agree with you society does not need old tribe rules in this 21 century world FUCK OFF MEGADETH2702..........LORD BELIAL keep on rocking man!!!!!!!

\ hopefully later on u don't turn into a christian like poor dave mustaine did

[SanctusExcessum]

Fuck Makes me proud to be from cleveland once again. Infernal Hails from the most southern part of cuyahoga county, I hope to meet you one day soon. Any scheduled shows in cleveland? I missed one of em, was walking past and afterlight was playing, my broke ass didnt have a dime to get in. keep kickin ass, I have your cd. HAIL! HAIL! HAIL! HAIL!

[compotdeoase]

The final part of the song is probably the mos melodic thing I've ever heard. You guys are in my top 10 favorite black metal bands honestly. And you, Belial, when I watch your ideas they are just motivating me to keep practicing and practicing to know at some point I may get as close as you are. Epic job you're doing. You have all my respect! Time to end with these fucking religions!

[MANTiKA47]

...on the top of the list. This band shall be never forgotten.

[MisantrophicMindfuck]

goes to my favs....

[WarLord369]

what kind of axe are you playing through sound is killer

[666wrathchild]

This is great stuff, melodic black metal, To be honest i think this is one of the best songs i have heard this year. Is this band signed to as label?

[killubitch]

[bullet30cal]

RETURN TO FUCKING DARKNESS!

[mofonofo]

Finally, something new in Black Metal.

[snowstorm135]

Fuck christians! -I-

[Jagguar20]

Belial; Is there a website that ships internationally from where I can buy Afterlight's EP?

[tumnuju]

I want to know if there is one too... You guys have earned my support fully enough. I should also tell that i've been looking for a band like this in years!

[LordBelial]

Yep, check out our myspace link up in the more info area.

[n8isw8is]

[LordBelial]

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. and i assure you, the destruction of christianity starts and ends with AFTERLIGHT!!!!!!

-l-BELIAL-l-

[Jagguar20]

Damnit, Afterlight has more than enough potential to become one of the best black metal bands of our times. Can't wait for the new stuff. Let the Christian slaughter begin!

[LordBelial]

Thank you very much. This means a lot to me, and i assure you, we will one day in the near future reign supreme! Thanks again!

-l-BELIAL-l-

[jacksonthrasher]

how much will the album be?

[LordBelial]

This EP is 7.50...for the full length we will just have to wait and see....FEW MONTHS!!!!!!!!! thanks for the comments!

-l-BELIAL-l-

[jacksonthrasher]

no problem, this band is absolutely great! I just bought the demo although i had to buy it off itunes as im from scotland. I will definitely be buying any music you guys release

[Thunderbolt666]

You kinda remind me ov Chuck Shuldiner, dude. Great music, wish the vocals were different though. Gotta watch all ov your videos.Subscribed.

[marrag1]

wow ur pretty good me and my frend wanted to do stuff like this but i wasnt much of a black metal player so iv been learning stuff from alot of dvd's and shit and i need a really good guitar thats better then dean which is y im think of getting a jackson or an esp

[Keketteparty]

LordBelial, I really like your stuff, it's very new and I have to say the future of black metal scene is gonna be great with bands like you ! Come in France ! :D

Just a question, you have an awesome sound, what do you use (amp, effects ...) ?

[LordBelial]

Thank you very much! My hopes is to bring a refreshing sound to the ever-so recreating genre of black metal. I use a custom Ran guitar built to my specs, Madison Divinity II tube head/cab...over drive pedal, noise suppressor, and that is all. But for my recordings on here, i use a cheap sound card i bought at Best Buy years ago and a line 6 pod...then tweaked the settings on both.

Thanks for the support -l-BELIAL-l-

[DeeceGuy]

How much did that Ran set you back? I've been considering getting myself a seven string customised from them.

[Luciferlightbringer6]

so whats ur opinion about ran guitars?

[LordBelial]

Destroys any store bought guitar.

[mosherhamish]

could anyone recommend any bands that have are similar in sound and sound quality to afterlight? I'm getting into BM slowly atm and afterlight are my favourite atm

[OuchMyGlands666]

Also check out the band Lord Belial, Windir and Naglfar. All three have had some influence on us.

[compotdeoase]

I really like all your songs and the lyrics are just awesome, best of luck mate.  -l-

[NileOfBlood6606]

I FUCKING LOVE 0:53-0:54

[EliteWoWDotCom]

jim what pickups do you have in your ran?

[LordBelial]

Emg 81/85 directly mounted. -l-

[omgrobin666]

i just love your guitars parts :P ... the hole song is really good btw ^^

[temporaryonesix]

That bass lick that kicks in near the beginning is fucking NASTY. It sounds kinda stoner-metal.

[OuchMyGlands666]

Thanks man. The "stoner metal" sound would probably be because I learned how to play bass by jamming along to my moms Black Sabbath albums, so Geezer Butlers playing was a huge influence on the style that I eventually developed.

[majav15mg]

Lord Gloom sounds like Jon from Dissection ;-)

[ConveyTheKing]

I'm scared right now.

[carcosa]

Great stuff.  You're True.

[IronPriest82]

Could really use some new heavy music for the gym! Still waiting...best of luck.

[fa272]

This song is sick!! Hats off too all you guys for making some fine melodic BM. The riff that kicks in at 5:30 reminds of something from Obtained Enslavement. Great stuff. \m/

[EnochianCresant]

Brutal.When did you start playing man?

[LordBelial]

Out of the womb, it was a god given talent....no really, a little over 7 years ago. -I- -I- -I-

[OuchMyGlands666]

A "who" given talent?

[LordBelial]

God, obviously....I never even had to practice to get to where im at now...it was a gift....i was melting faces as a toddler, before i even knew words...In fact, im off to church...

[m3tallih0lic]

@LordBelial lmfao nice sarcasm bro!!

[MoonchildDOOM]

Sick stuff. Looking forward to the EP. Cheers.

[MaelstromRaine]

Badass shit man. I've been following you for quite some time though, so it's not really surprising. I'd love to get my hands on that EP :) Keep it up! -l-

[CRVZS]

Amazing.. I love it. All the song its a master piece but the first riff and the midle-tempo at the end!!! wow! Congratulations!

[sathanas693]

Yea Afterlight is turning out to be really good.. I live in canada and I really want a copy of that EP how are going to distribute it if at all, are you just making this ep on your own dime?

[FesterdayFTW]

Hey, I was curious if afterlight has any live shows coming up. I saw you guys with mayhem and i loved every second of it. Also, i was curious where I'll be able to pick up the EP when it's released.

[LordBelial]

As of right now we currently have no shows lined up. We are writing ALOT of new material at the moment and really want to focus on making it match up to our high standards. As for the EP, i will personally message you and let you know when its released...should only be a couple more weeks....thanks for the compliment and let the christian slaughter begin! -I- -I- -I-

[extremeheadbanging]

fucking epic

[ubershredder1989]

god given talent that is! ha ha

[LordBelial]

Haha agreed...i came out of the womb shredding....Peace be with you (and also with you)

[ubershredder1989]

amen to that

[Sweemoo]

hey LordBelial. i am very inspired by your playing and i cant wait till your EP is released. I had two questions i was hoping you could answer: Are you Satanic or just Anti-Christian? Also what tuning do you play in? have a good one. hail satan /,,/

[LordBelial]

thank you -I- To answer your first question, i am not a follower of any organized religion. Second, i tune to D. -I-

[endoftheline9]

This is how black metal should be done.

[LordBelial]

-I- -I- -I-

[Nordicrebirth]

Lol, the guitar threat looks like a steak.

[VforVanish]

Great ,  i prefer death but this is incredible

¿Whats that guitar?

[OuchMyGlands666]

It's a custom made Ran.

[Ihsahn3159]

5 stars man!

[himenow]

Fucking. Killer.

[TapYouOut81]

Damn dude!! This kicks too much ass!!!!! I have the same Dissection shirt!! 5 stars!

[abbath1586]

[LordBelial]

Thank you -I-

[q8shadowq8]

Lord Belial \m/

[rockingki]

I generally stay away from black metal and stick with my melodic death metal tunes, but excellent song. Pretty well-written lyrics too... the refrain is outstanding.
