Background notes
Archive material and source history
Joe Stump came out of Oregon with a band that played a fast, aggressive style of metal. Their first album was called 'Prelude to Speed Metal Messiah' in 1985, followed by records like 'Thrash of the Titans' and 'Speed Metal Supremacy'.
Stump played guitar and sang, with Mark Evans on bass and Dave Rentz on drums at various points. The music was built around Stump's guitar work and vocals, which leaned into speed metal and thrash.
Some of their lyrics and imagery touched on dark or occult themes, which led to talk about connections to groups like the Church of Satan, though the band denied formal ties. They put out albums through the early 1990s, including 'Metal Messiah' in 1993.
