Reverend Bizarre was founded in 1994. Lohja, a small industrial town in southern Finland, witnessed the wall of sound created by doomsters Albert Magus, Peter Vicar and Juippi. From the beginning it was clear there would be no big venues available for this kind of music in Finland, but love and respect for the true Doom Metal kept them on the right path. After the three fellows had returned from the army, Peter had to move to the city of Turku. This happened in the fall of 1997. At the same time Juippi"s habit with certain stimulants started to affect his playing. It soon became impossible for the Reverends to carry on as they were.
Luckily enough, Albert moved to Turku in the summer of 1998. Two doomsters Magus and Vicar realized it was time to resurrect Reverend Bizarre. To complete their unholy union they joined with Alberts old band mate Earl of Void, who had just been released from the prison. Heavy rehearsals started in the winter of 1999 and the true joy of playing was found immediately. To promote their mission they recorded their first demo, "Slice of Doom", in three days. What happened in 16th, 17th and 23rd of August 1999, was a solid foundation for their mission of spreading the old school Doom Metal. With the demo CDr they also sent following statement:
"Listen! Reverend Bizarre is Finlands first and only old school doom metal band. City of Turku seems to lack interest in good old 70s and 80s style doom music, so they are currently searching a way to make their music know across the worlds "massive" doom-scene. One of the ways to accomplish this is their new promotional CD, Slice of Doom, which they are sending to some promising record companies in hope of signing a record deal. Also it seems necessary to contact all known and survived doom zines. Reverend Bizarre tries to travel to the fountains of true HEAVY metal in fashion of Sabbathian classics, such as Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble, The Obsessed and others... Purity is the key! The main principle is that exact rules give you musical and lyrical space, where to develop your own expression. The core of those rules is the Law: Doom what thou wilt!”
"It is truly impossible task to publish this kind of music in Finland. One of Reverend Bizarre’s main goals is to be able to keep on spreading the knowledge of old school doom metal. If you are able to benefit their cause, be welcomed to contact Reverend Bizarre’s Holy Parish of Doom as soon as possible. All those loyal souls will be blessed and hailed as true puritans! Thank God there is still Faith in the Earth - there aint a day when Reverend Bizarre would stop believing in their message and the power of real music. It will come through! Doom on!"
After the release of "So Long Suckers" there is now the final nail knocked on the coffin of Reverend Bizarre.
DOOM METAL IS DEAD!

When crimson darkness rules the earth, And creatures gather behind your window... How does it feel to be all alone? How does it feel to hear them roam? Sleep won't come no matter how hard you try. At your threshold they are stalking - closer and closer. When the time has come for you to meet your deepest fear, Please don't forget that I will be always near.
I'm your saviour, your spark of hope. Just summon me, and I will be there. With my magick I expel your demon. Divining Rod and Blessed Semen, ooh!

Darkness falls, penetrating my balls. Can this be our reality? Fool in love, Fucking Wizard. Can hardly wait - let's get laid!
C'mon baby!
C'mon baby, the time is right. The most secret Hour of Moon. Try to make it just one night. Raise heat, until we swoon.

thanks for the add + As the devil labours by all means to keep out other things that are good, so to keep out of the heart as much as in him lies, the thoughts of passing from this life into another world; for he knows if he can but keep them from the serious thoughts of death, he shall the more easily keep them in their sins. - John Bunyan - (puritan divine)

No pulse out of heart knows what happiness is, but sorrow every lonley ulcered beat seems to know. And the warmth of the sun you soon forget, thou the veil of night grows cold and empty over you. Everyone search for the tender lust, but will leave with the death it brings along. And the heat of love you soon regret, Thou this seed of pain reaps and leaves the breath to wither. / KLEFA08
