Reverend Bizarre

芬蘭并非傳統(tǒng)厄運金屬滋生的土壤，但卻在十多年前誕生了Reverend Bizarre，傳統(tǒng)厄運的精靈，十多年間從未讓人失望過，無論何種作品都受到一面倒的贊譽！
Reverend Bizarre于1994年成立于芬蘭南部的工業(yè)小城Lohja。在當(dāng)時很少有樂隊做此類風(fēng)格，他們可以說是第一個完全傳統(tǒng)派的厄運的金屬樂隊，用自己對傳統(tǒng)厄運的熱情一直堅持做音樂倒今天，并贏得了無數(shù)掌聲。2002年，樂隊發(fā)行了第一張正式專集《In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend》，被人們稱為“抓住sabbath精髓的繼承人”。他們的出現(xiàn)推動了整個芬蘭，乃至北歐的傳統(tǒng)厄運金屬風(fēng)潮。

Inspired by the likes of Saint Vitus and Cathedral, Finnish doom metal band Reverend Bizzare was founded in 1994, in the southern industrial town of Lohja by vocalist and bassist Albert Witchfinder. Peter Vicar soon joined on guitar and the splendidly named Earl of Void had taken over on drums by the time of 1999's aptly named Slice of Doom demo. After taking part in the Doom Shall Rise tour in the winter of 2002, the band cut its celebrated first album, In the Rectory of the Bizzare Reverend. Subsequently signed to Finnish powerhouse Spikefarm, Reverend Bizzare unleashed the sophomore Harbinger of Metal in early 2004.
