Added here as an exception, since they played 'black' metal under their new name.

They felt the name "Crush Evil" was too strong of a statement, so they changed it to Antestor, which is more "neutral". One of Lars Stokstad's sisters had the idea for this name.

There is a rumor that a secular Finnish band once turned Crush Evil/Antestor artwork upside-down, and used it on one of their releases, but it appears to be just a rumor.

Discography:


The Defeat of Satan (demo, August, 1991, Independent)
Format: Cassette, limited 150 copies

NOTE:
On Metal Archives, there's a mention of a 2003 rerelease of this demo on Momentum Scandinavia. More than likely, this is just a misunderstanding, referring to the 2003 compilation of the same name. However, I'm not sure (and unfortunately, the person who made that update has passed away, so I can't ask him where he found it...) so until more information becomes available, I'll leave this note here.

1) The Defeat of Satan
9:02, lyrics:
An angel descending from heaven
holding the key to the abyss
he seized the serpent of old
who is the devil and Satan
Into the abyss sealed
bound for a thousand years

After that he must be
Released for a little while

Out to lead astray the nations
to muster them for battle
up over the breadth of the earth
surrounded the camp of the saints
ready to fight the beloved city

In the end, they will be
Forever in, the lake of fire?

Fire came down from heaven
the devil who deceived them
flung into the lake of fire
to the beast and the false prophet
tortured day and night forever


2) New Life
7:35, lyrics:
Insanity look for yourself, Satan rules this world
destruction he is the source he is after your soul
To save us from the hellish pain, God sent Jesus Christ
Crucified for all our sins, He felt the horror and pain

New life He rose again
New life He came to give
New life to a world of hat
New life you came to receive
New life He sets sinners free
New life he is for us
New life can be born today
New life for you

Condemned burned in holy flames
God you can stand his presence
The law you cannot be saved
Man sin is in your way
Love the holy and pure
Done what man couldn't do
blood cover your sins
Jesus offered his life

3) Jesus Saves
8:25, lyrics:
Jesus Saves
A beast rose from the sea
it started to blaspheme
You watch out, Satan might get you
He will never let you go
Jesus can help, He has won
He is the Messiah
in Him you must believe

Don't let Satan treat you as a friend
Satan comes to collect his souls
Jesus saves you if you want to
It's up to you to make the choice
give your life to Jesus Christ

Jesus is the one and only
He was crucified for your life
You got to have faith in the Lord
He'll save you from eternal death
give your life to Jesus Christ

You've got a choice, that you must make
It's up to you, to live or die


4) Knus Ondskapen
1:03, instrumental
