It could have gone the other way better if the band members had not falsely accused him of theft of money from the band just because he needs it so much due to this stupid pandemic.
The magnum opus of ‘unblack’ imo may well be Extol’s album Burial ; though perhaps leaning closer to tech death than black at many points. It’s terrific. I bought it on CD without knowing what it was whatsoever for like $2 a decade ago at a closeout sale haha. As long as such bands stick to making excellent music instead of getting preachy it’s certainly tolerable, though I imagine they don’t get invited to many tours with more standard acts of a much less religious persuasion
