Traditional Doom Powerful, dirge-like Traditional Doom in its truest form, and a founding inspiration for the whole '90s and beyond European Doom scene. With songs ranging from mid-tempo galloping doom anthems, to 20+ minute painfully slow epics, Reverend Bizarre build their sound around dense tones and dramatic clean vocals. The intense lead singing of bassist Sami Hynninen (otherwise known as Albert Witchfinder) gives the band a more grandiose feel that places them close to the likes of Lord Vicar, Count Raven, or Pilgrim. |

The split 'Under the Sign of the Wolf' is with the band Mannhai. The members of Reverend Bizarre are also active in many other bands. For instance, Peter has a progressive rock band called Orne and Albert is in an experimental march/ambient band called Herven Agal. - the 1999 release of 'Slice of Doom' was released once by the band themselves and once by The Holy Parish of Doom with differed covers and other slight alterations (it also was released as a tape). |
