Elgibbor
Elgibbor, also known as Jarek Pozarycki or Fire, is an unblack metal project, that started in 1999. The band went on a hiatus around 2017, but reconvined with a full-lineup in 2020, consisting mostly of former live members.
Background
Elgibbor started in between 1996-1998, but did not truly do anything until 1999 as an unblack metal. The project has released 12 studio albums and several demos, EPs and singles. The name of the project means, "God Almighty". Jarek, before becoming a Christian, was a Satanist. Since becoming a Christian, his faith has been the foundation of his band. Although Elgibbor is a one man band, founded by Fire, the band played out live at Audiofeed Festival 2017, with the lineup of Fire on guitar, former Frost Like Ashes bandmates Azahel on vocals and Sebat on guitar, Ascending King brainchild Ruah on bass, and bandmate Taberah of Katharos on drums. In 2020, the band reconvened with many of the live members returning - Azahel on vocals, Fire on guitars, Sebat on guitars, and Ruah on bass. Taberah was unable to return to the lineup due to personal reasons, which led to the induction of Pathøs into the band.Influences
Fire stated in an interview that his influences "always come from Jesus" and he does not listen to secular metal. When he says it "always comes from Jesus", he is implying that he only listens to Christian metal artists, including Crimson Moonlight, Arvinger, Drottnar, and Antestor.Members
