Heretic

Any Heretic fans out there???

I assume you are referring to the Mike Howe band ? Breaking Point is an Awesome album and should be in everybody collection, I personally wasn't a fan of the Vocals on the "Torture knows no Boundary" EP, but I am being bias as I rate Mike Howe as my favourite vocalist of all time, ahead of Jon Oliva & Blitz.

Sure I love the Metal Church albums that Mike done, and on the otherside the early Reverend albums was great also, however I do wish that Heretic would have recorded more material, but that's the way it was ment to be.

Myspace is abit odd, only refers to the first incarnation of the band and has the tracks from the debut EP on it, nothing from Breaking Point.

I love what I've heard of them! I don't have any albums, but I'm a pretty big fan of Metal Church as well. Though I must say I prefer Metal Church with David Wayne.

Heretic are great! Would love to see a reunion!

Heretic's BREAKING POINT is a "lost gem" for sure!

Whatever happened to Mike Howe?? After MC split up in the early 90s he seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth!!

Love Heretic ! Breaking Point and Torture Knows No Boundary could use a re-release (was Torture even releases on cd ?). I think Mike Howe is an underrated singer and would love to hear him again.

I heard Mike became a family man and retired from the music business. Its truly a shame, as hes an awesome singer!

Yeah, HERETIC was a great band. Have their mini lp and lp on vinyls.

Good stuff.Korban and O'Hara ended up in "Reverend" with David Wayne if memory serves.

Yea, that was kinda odd. Metal Church and Heretic basically swapped singers!

Heretic was an awesome band!!! I wish this band would have done more. I have Torture Knows No Boundary on vinyl and Breaking Point on cd.

OO7, the Torture Knows No boundary ep was never issued on cd (even though I wish it would be).

Love Heretic. Their album is becoming rare.

Thanks for the input...FYI Julian Mendez sang on the ep... He was sick when they recorded that one....The lable would not let them wait for him to get better....Thats why the vocals are a little weak....

Didn't know that, has he done any other albums ? somewhere else that he can be propperly checked out ?

No not yet....After Heretic he just played locally for a while... He's a good Metal singer....

Breaking Point is one of my all time favorites. It cost me a ton of $ to get this on CD. I also have a boot of Torture Knows No Boundary.

Done.

Holy crap! Breaking Point is on itunes! I hope that Metal Blade reissues this album at some point.
