Terzij de Horde combine an amalgam of black, doom, postcore and screamo with a decidedly hardcore punk outlook and lyrical focus. Terzij de Horde is Dutch for “athwart the horde”. It is a line from the poem “Einde” (ending) by legendary Dutch poet Hendrik Marsman. Marsman is an inspiration to the band, as are many other authors and philosophers in the same dark vitalistic vein. Starting out as Liar Liar Cross On Fire in 2007, the band grew away from its sonic roots in grindcore and crusty hardcore, and toward more dark atmospherics. As Liar Liar Cross On Fire, the band released a demo (Exposed, Barren and Often Windswept) late 2008. In April 2010, they released their EP “A Rage of Rapture Against the Dying of the Light”.
Their raging, passionate live shows are grasping more and more people by storm.
