Reverend

When David Wayne got booted out of Metal Church, replaced by Mike Howe of Heretic, David formed this band with other guys from Heretic. You could say that Metal Church got all the good parts, while Reverend is the leftovers. :) It's shows in their music, too, which is all fairly mediocre thrash/speed metal.

"Reverend"

  1. "Power of Persuasion" (3:57)
  2. "Dimensional Confusion" (4:28)
  3. "Wretched Excess" (3:08)
  4. "Ritual" (5:40)

They never did top this one. Four tracks of crunchy, sweaty metal, with "Power of Persuasion" and "Ritual" being on par with the Metal Church standard. Oh, might I add that this has got to be the RAREST FUCKING CD out there!!! In fact, it took me a long time to even verify it was released in that format, and even then I couldn't find anyone who OWNED a copy, let alone had one for sale...until I ran across a trader who had it, and after twisting his arm a little he picked out three discs from my collection (including Laaz Rockit) that he would trade it for. My reaction was, "Is that all??" He truly thought I was nuts...until he tried to get a second copy! Of course, I merely bought 2nd copies of the CDs he wanted, and if you count what I paid for them, this disc is by far the most expensive one in my entire collection...and it was WORTH IT!!!!! And no, you can't have it, so don't even ask!!

"World Won't Miss You"

  1. "Remission" (4:25)
  2. "Another Form of Greed" (4:01)
  3. "Scattered Wits" (4:54)
  4. "Desperate" (4:57)
  5. "Leader of Fools" (3:44)
  6. "World Won't Miss You" (4:48)
  7. "Rude Awakening" (4:39)
  8. "Gunpoint" (4:20)
  9. "Killing Time" (4:26)
  10. "Hand of Doom" (6:56)
  11. "11th Hour" (3:49)

The band's first full-length album, and already their lack of talent is showing. "Remission" starts off fast and strong, but the rest is hardly memorable. Their cover of Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom" is kinda interesting, though.

"Play God"

  1. "Butcher of Baghdad" (3:56)
  2. "Heaven on Earth" (3:56)
  3. "Fortunate Son" (3:09)
  4. "Blessings" (4:16)
  5. "Promised Land" (3:02)
  6. "Play God" (3:56)
  7. "Warp the Mind" (3:18)
  8. "What You're Looking For" (4:20)
  9. "Blackened Thrive" (2:59)
  10. "Death of Me" (4:20)
  11. "Far Away" (2:19)

Hmm...well, it's got a Credence Clearwater Revival (!) song, but the rest, umm, I can't remember if I've listened to it even once.
