Reverend

Reverend is an American heavy metal band formed in 1989 by ex-Metal Church vocalist David Wayne, who took the band's name from his own moniker, which he acquired as the frontman of Metal Church. Initially formed in L.A, Reverend would consist of guitarists Brian Korban and Stuart Fujinami, bassist Dennis O'Hara, all formerly of Heretic, and Ray Gunn drummer Scott Vogel. This lineup of the band would release the Reverend 1989 EP. Drummer Rick Basha would replace Vogel for the band's first studio album World Won't Miss You. Fujinami, O'Hara, and Basha would leave following Reverend's 1990 tour. Angelo Espino would replace O'Hara on bass, and Jason Ian (Scott Ian's brother) replaced Basha on drums, respectively, for Reverend's second studio album Play God and the band's Live 1992 EP along with second guitarist Ernesto F. Martinez. After Reverend's recording contract with Charisma Records ended, Korban, Espino, and Ian would form the band Seed while Wayne would move back to Washington. He would assemble another incarnation of Reverend with Bill Rhynes on guitar, Chuck Smith on bass, and Jamie Northop on drums. The Washington-based personnel of Reverend would record the 1993 previously unreleased...
