"In the name of Christ

And by the order of his vicar

These monsters will be driven

This plague of darkness will cease

I pledge my life to the church

And give my soul to the LORD

To wage total warfare in the spiritual

And fight his enemies to my death - and beyond!

My blade is the wrath of God

The bane of unholy ones

The breaker of dawn, the bringer of light

The fear of the wicked darkness

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood

But with principalities, with the powers

With the world rules of this present darkness

With the evil spirits in the heavens

My sword slices their binds

My psalms savage their beasts

My shield reflects their dark works unto themselves

And brings their shame into the day!

I cast them out of the meek

I undo their works of destruction

But this power comes not from me

And all is for the glory of him most high!"

ABOUT: A Plague of darkness torments the Earth. The pope summons the three Light Warriors to defend a terrified humanity. The Witch Hunter approaches the foreboding keep and draws the legendary sword of evil's bane... So begins the story of 2020's bombastic Vanquished Horrible Night, the third epic of New York City's Dawnbreaker and the first in the classic symphonic black metal style of the 90's. One-man metal crusader Cullen Toner continues the quest for redemption that began after a spectacular conversion to Christianity followed a decade of touring and releasing music with some of the most renowned names in America's wicked black metal scene. Waging a grandiose Holy War across 10 tracks and 40 minutes of epic keyboard-driven glory, Vanquished Horrible Night is a masterful revival of the majestic symphonic soundscapes that dominated black metal's most celebrated years. The crusades return on October 31st, 2020!
