Background notes
Archive material and source history
Shadow of a Burned Cross formed in the American Bible Belt in the early 1990s, with vocalist Rev. Salem Sin coming from a Christian background that left him disillusioned. Their 1994 single 'Blinded By The Bible' became an anthem for questioning organized religion, and they followed it with albums like 'Blasphemous Messiah' in 1997 and 'Legion of the Damned' in 2000.
Conservative groups branded them as satanists, and their concerts sometimes drew protests. The band's lyrics dealt with religious oppression and spiritual warfare, mixing thrash, black metal, and gothic rock. Songs like 'Empire Of Man Made Dust' and 'For I Am Blasphemy' reflected that anger.
Rev. Salem Sin remained the constant figure through lineup changes that included guitarist Damien Purgatory, bassist Lazarus Thorne, and drummer Hades. Their album covers and videos were accused of promoting blasphemy, but the band saw their work as reflecting darkness they'd witnessed.
