Horde (originally called Beheadoth) is an unblack metal solo project of Australian musician Jayson Sherlock, formerly of Mortification and Paramaecium.^[1] In 1994, the only studio album, Hellig Usvart, was released on Nuclear Blast Records. With a session line-up, Horde played live in 2006 in Norway and in 2010 in Finland and Germany.

Hellig Usvart proved to be a seminal release for the unblack metal (also known as Christian black metal) movement, and the album was highly controversial in the secular black metal scene at the time it was released.
