Dark Heresy was a Baroque death metal band based in suburban London, England and mainly active during the years 1993-1995, a period during which the London underground metal scene peaked. They played over fifty concerts across England during this period, often as headliners (including one night headlining the Marquee) as well as supporting bands like Ancient Rites, At the Gates, Cradle of Filth and Dissection. They split up in 1996 following some line-up difficulties.
Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or heresy:
“Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing—instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“They that approve a private opinion, call it an opinion; but they that mislike it, heresy: and yet heresy signifies no more than private opinion.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
