Lohja, Helsinki, Finland

Reverend Bizarre was a doom metal band from Lohja, Finland. They played slow and heavy traditional doom 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)

@veggiecannibal: You got cheated. The name of that EP is "Harbinger of Metal". You probably got ripped off with some Kazakhstani bootleg with a typo. Poor you.

You are fucking awesome, guys...just listening to "Harbringer Of Metal" and it's the best Doom I heard in ages. Bought this CD at a 2nd hand store...I can't believe there was somebody who did not wanna keep it, that guy must have a bad taste in music.

Long songs will only be a problem when the songs themselves are the problem, for example being tedious and unintersting. So there. Fixed it for you.

Long songs will only be a problem when shuffling between the tracks on the playlist. It's way better to the whole albums instead of single tracks. Besides, thats how it's meant to be in the first place. An album is an overall experience consisting of smaller parts, which may not work so well individually, as they will when listened as a whole. So yeah, the problem lies elsewere.

great band. III: So Long Suckers was definitely a step backwards... but Crush the Insects and In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend are definitely great doom metal albums.

I quite enjoy this band. Some of the songs are way too long though.

The amount of debating about the band's "religious persuasion" is laughable. Just listen to the musick and enjoy, fucknuts. This band is beyond words that "chafe the spirit and the mind repress". Fuck your ideology.
