Reverend had something of a cult following in the late eighties and early nineties. They were touted to be metal’s next best thing but other than this EP, they put out two full length records and then they were done.
The band were formed by original Metal Church vocalist David Wayne and this was the first EP that they put out in ´89. You only get four songs but each one is a thrashtastic banger. If you put all of the original thrash bands’ sound and groove in a blender, Reverend would be the end product. Rammed full of chugga riffs and grooves to get that head bangin’. Wretched Excess is my favourite track of the tunes on offer here, it would have given any of the “big 4” a run for their money.
Cool EP!
8/10 from The Grooveman.
