Heresy

Heresy came out of the early 1990s underground metal scene with a sound that mixed thrash and death metal. Their debut album 'Consume' arrived in 1996, and its title track became a kind of anthem for listeners who connected with its aggressive riffs and lyrics about societal hypocrisy. The original lineup included Chris Mitchell on vocals, Mike O'Neill on guitar, Steve Anderson on bass, and Matt McKay on drums.

They released three more studio albums after that: 'The Revelations of Disgust' in 1998, 'Blasphemy's Dawn' in 2001, and 'The End of All Hope' in 2004. Their music often ran into censorship issues because of its explicit themes, and they faced accusations about promoting violence. The band name itself was meant as a rejection of conventional beliefs.

Heresy broke up in 2006. Other songs from their catalog, like 'Flowers In Concrete' and 'Face Up To It,' carried on with the same heavy, confrontational style. Some later metal bands have mentioned them as an influence.
