Reverend Bizarre

Reverend Bizarre is Finland´s first and only old school doom metal band. City of Turku seems to lack interest in good old 70´s and 80´s style doom music, so they are currently searching a way to make their music know across the world´s "massive" doom-scene. Reverend Bizarre tries to travel to the fountains of true HEAVY metal in fashion of Sabbathian classics, such as Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble, The Obsessed and others... Purity is the key! The main principle is that exact rules give you musical and lyrical space, where to develop your own expression. The core of those rules is the Law: Doom what thou wilt!

Bands work has well received, to say the least. Russ Smith (Black Tears), Gabriel Lilliehook (GL-productions), Malcolm Dome (Metal Hammer), Rich Walker (Solstice, Miskatonic Foundation), etc... The list of believers is long and impressive. Russ and Rich have special importance for Reverends, since they have supported the mission with strength. Reverend Bizarre's music appears on Miskatonic's excellent international Doom collection 'At the Mountains of Madness vol. II', and Black Widow Records' 'Not of This Earth', a science fiction tribute. Reverend Bizarre is also on Psychedelic Zine's compilation 'Out of Focus vol. I' and Raven Moon Record's tribute to SaintVitus, 'A Timeless Tale'.
