Reverend is an American thrash and power metal band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in early 1989 when vocalist David Wayne left Metal Church. Most of the earliest band members, were recruited from a Los Angeles power metal act named Heretic (and Heretic's vocalist Mike Howe joined Metal Church). Led by vocalist David Wayne REVEREND recorded their debut 4 track EP in 1989. Each song is a meticulously constructed slower piece of thrash metal with Wayne's charismatic, haunting high-pitched sneer vocals. Vocalist David Wayne sadly died from complications resulting from a traffic accident in 2005. Reverend released two studio albums, one live album and two mini cd's over the years. To many fans Wayne was a true metal god and he is certainly missed. Produced by Warren Croyle (Evildead, L??z Rockit, Uncle Slam). Graphic design by Tom & Ellie Hughes (Excel, M.O.D.). Sleeve and insert remake by RA Design (Vio Lence, Destruction, Possessed). Liner notes by Pim Blankenstein (Sinister, Toxik, Gravedigger). One sided vinyl, almost 20 minutes classic US thrash / power metal.
