Heretic

Heretic was a rather typical power/thrash metal band of the eighties, managing one EP and one album in 1987 and 1988 before quickly calling it a day. The breakup was at least partially due vocalist Mike Howe's departure to Metal Church -- ironically, the man he replaced there, David Wayne, recruited two Heretic members for his then-new band, Reverend. A modified lineup came together in 2011 and released A Time Of Crisis a year later.
