Michael Ford is an American musician and occult author who began his career in 1991 with the black metal band Abaddon (renamed Sorath a year later). Whilst in Sorath, Ford made his first attempts at more experimental music with Darkness Enshroud, first aided by Rahu (Dan Ferguson) and later by Shanna LeJeune. Another experimental avenue was explored with the death industrial project Valefor, whilst black metal would never leave his attention for long and has been pursued under the guise of Black Funeral which Ford originally formed in 1993. Michael W. Ford is the author of BIBLE OF THE ADVERSARY, SATANIC MAGICK, THE VAMPIRE GATE - The Vampyre Magickian, The First Book of Luciferian Tarot and THE LUCIFERIAN TAROT, LUCIFERIAN WITCHCRAFT, LIBER HVHI, BOOK OF THE WITCH MOON, ADAMU, Founder of BLACK FUNERAL, VALEFOR, PSYCHONAUT 75 and a member of ORDO TYRANNIS and HEXENTANZ.
