Trebuchet SDG (melodic black metal)

[Kerrick]

I recently stumbled upon Trebuchet SDG on facebook and they sound pretty killer!  I know very little about the project, but they've got one song up on bandcamp and describe themselves as, "Melodic unblack metal getting inspiration from the medieval times, classical music and the Scriptures."  Fans of Marble Tomb will find a lot to like here.

Lyrics:

Based on the Psalm 55
lyrics
My heart's in anguish within me
Fear and trembling come upon me
horrors of the dark overwhelm me
Oh, if I had wings like a dove
I would fly away
and be at rest
I would hurry to find a shelter
from the raging wind

Confuse the wicked, Oh Lord
for I see violence in the city.
Day and night they prowl about on its walls
Destructive forces are at their work
their threats and lies never leave
these wicked men with war in their hearts
won't live out half their days

But I call to God
and the Lord will save me.
in the midst of the thickest mist
and the darkest night
He will hear me.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord

Yes! Without any warning, a full-length has been released! Bandcamp Friday is too far away, gah!

Cool! Do you know if there will be CDs?

Also, do you know the story behind the band's name?

[Kerrick]

He said he's going to "try to find a way to print CDs." It's definitely deserving of a physical release!

Also, we've been treated with a Christmas EP that's mighty stellar:

Did you see my other question?

[Kerrick]

Oh oops!  I did and then got distracted haha.  I'm not sure about the name.  I do know that it was originally just Trebuchet and then he later added the SDG (which is for Soli Deo Gloria).
