Lohja, Helsinki, Finland (1995 – 2007)

Reverend Bizarre was a band from Lohja, Finland, formed in 1995. They played slow and heavy with dramatic vocals, following in the footsteps of bands such as Saint Vitus, Pentagram and Black Sabbath.
During 1997-98 the band relocated to Turku. All the band members have lived in Lohja, and Albert is currently living there. They pay homage for their hometown by using the “Lohja Power” text in the backcovers of their releases.

The band had planned a totality of five albums “Songs from the Funereal World” being the third, “Heavier Than Life” the fourth and “How It Was Meant to Be” the fifth and the last album. However, the band abandoned this plan and released only three albums before splitting up:

- In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend (2002, Spikefarm)
- II: Crush the Insects (2005, Spikefarm)
- III: So Long Suckers (2007, Spikefarm)

Other releases:

- Blood on Satan’s Claw / Death in Spring (Split 7” with Ritual Steel, Metal Coven Records)
- Harbinger of Metal (EP, 2003, Spikefarm)
- Split with Orodruin (2004, Hellride Music)
- Slice of Doom (compilation, 2004, psycheDOOMelic)
- Split with Minotauri (2004, Metal Coven Records)
- Return to the Rectory (EP, 2004, Spikefarm)
- Slave of Satan (single, 2005, Spikefarm)
- Thulsa Doom (7” EP, 2006, Aftermath Music)
- Under the Sign of the Wolf Pentagram (US)] (Split 7” with Mannhai, 2006, The Church Within Records)

    "Anywhere Out Of This World" is beautiful.

    One of the best doom metal bands for sure. Albert is a genius. Too bad they don't exist no more as a band, it's a damn shame, because this band fucking rules! I don't know if a reunion is possible, but it will be awesome this band to reunite.

    Hard to believe it have been so many years since the passing of the Reverend. Apart from a very small selection of Doom bands I can't say I have followed the genre in quite a few years. They really did speak the truth with the sticker off III: So Long Suckers "Doom Metal is Dead"

    So who here owns that one copy of You Shall Suffer! CD-R that came with an x-ray image of Albert's skull? A collector's item if there ever was one.

    I don't like their second album. It's probably their only release I don't like.
