I'm sure that a lot of the guys here already know this band, but I'm making a thread for them anyway. Schaliach is a great Christian melodic death metal band with some doom influences. They had one really rare debut that was thankfully re-released by Momentum Scandinavia. They were also featured on Endtime Productions' compilation that was called In the Shadow of Death. Additionally, they were on the Northern Lights compilation which was released by Rowe Records (Thomas has a copy of it for sale!).
This is my favorite song from them:

Love this album! It was one of my first Christian metal CDs actually (the Momentum Scandinavia version). My favorites are On A Different Day, You Maintain, and A Father's Mourning.

Never heard Purple Filter because it wasn't on the original Sonrise album.
At one time, this was one of my favorite albums... ever. I could play most of the songs by ear on guitar. Actually did a few public performances for church youth group. (Specifically, A Whisper From Heaven and Coming of the Dawn)
On a separate note, Ole Borud's main project is pretty cool. I'm not a big fan of jazz, big band, contemporary music - but he's got talent, and I still hear some remnants of Schaliach in his solos. [guitarpro]

For whatever reason I still don't have this CD. I've always been stoked about the song title "Purple filter" nevertheless.

I know that this is really weird because I'm the guy who made the thread, but I've just never gotten around to buying the album. I have In the Shadow of Death and Northern Lights though.

I first heard the 3 songs from Sonrise on the Northern Lights comp put out by Rowe Productions back in 1996, and then imediately ordered the Sonrise CD through an Ausy mail-order. There was nothing like it in the Christian scene and it became an instant fave for me being thrashed daily for a very long time.A Father's Mourning was my favorite track too. It always surprised me that out of the 4 bands featured on Northern Lights that Extol was the band that blew up, as they had the least impressive songs on there to me. I already had the Groms album in 1995 through my local record store and had Antestor's tape Despair so to have a great new Doom band was very precious. haha

I have the GROMS CD and could never get too into it. It's decent, just nothing special IMO. I never did get into Extol either, though one of these days I may pick up their stuff since they're so unanimously well-received.

This is how I'd rank the four bands on that compilation:
1. Antestor 2. Schaliach 3. Extol 4. GROMS

I thought the guitars for GROMS were actually a cut above in the scene at the time. Its the AC/DC drumming (bass, snare, bass, snare) that got old for me.

I loved this album to death when it was a new release, "A Fathers Mourning" was definitely my favorite song, it reminded me a bit of older Anathema.

I was able to track down an original release and it was signed by Ole Borud (I can now sell the re-release if anyone is interested)! This was one of the earlier Christian metal albums that I got into. It reminded me of Edge of Sanity a lot (which was coincidentally one of the earlier secular groups I got into). Timeless classic.
