About
Contact: ofermodhorde@gmail.com The band name means "bravado" in Old Swedish. It can also be translated as "hubris". According to an interview in Bardo Methodology, Michayah Belfagor sourced the band name from a 1953 Tolkien essay, in which the British author used the Old English term ‘ofermod’ to describe a state of mind characterised by excessive pride. The band went on hiatus several times due to Michayah being constantly in and out of prison. In 2005, it was announced that the band was working on a new album; but, in March 2006, Michayah was again sent to prison for assault, robbery, and some other charges. He was released in August, but was taken into custody a few days later, and sentenced to serve more time due to additional acts of violence. Michayah has stated that he used to be a member of a criminal gang, but has since given up that lifestyle to focus on his religion and music. The band's debut album was initially to be titled "Mystery of Iniquity (Luciferian Evangelium Cantata)" and released by Shadow Records, but it was never recorded.
