Elgibbor abrasive lo-fi black metal anniversary

The original release date was April 15th, 2016, and later on in the year these two other versions were made available. The band's leader "Fire," according to The Metal Archives, used to be a satanist, but then became a Christian. Elgibbor is from Poland or at least began there in 1999 and is still active, now, apparently in the USA. The Metal Archives says: "Elgibbor" means "The Almighty God" in Hebrew. It looks there are 14 studio albums and two EPs, amongst other recordings.
August 13, 2016: Elgibbor - Revenger of Blood (2016), CD, Vision of God Records (Limited edition, Remastered)
August 13, 2016: Elgibbor - Revenger of Blood (2016), Digital, Vision of God Records (Bandcamp, Remastered)
This album is NOT for casual metal music listeners nor even casual black metal audiences, either. This is strictly for the dedicated fans of grim, necro, lo-fi, raw black.
Lyrics to "The Armor" seem to be from the book of Ephesians chapter 6, verse 10 to 17, from looking at The Metal Archives: "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Lyrics to "Lord of Light," as found on The Metal Archives : Thrown to the earth for hate and rebellion against humanity is the beast. Accuser, Tormentor, Liar. That is his nature. He has built an army of cheated, broken and fallen. Like a snake injects his venom and paralyzes his victim. Are you in the dark? Are you in the bonds of slavery? You can't do it alone there is power. There is strength that can change your life. It is not man. It is not the devil. It is the Creator who gave you life. He is always beside you and hears you. His Army of Light will come to your rescue. Riding a White Horse Lord of light."
Revenger Of Blood (Remastered & Expanded) by Elgibbor
