Vengeance Rising
Vengeance Rising (known as just Vengeance in their early days, with the
Rising suffix added for legal reasons) was one of the standout Christian
speed metal bands of the early nineties, with a style that paired nicely
with then-labelmates
Deliverance.
Two albums were released before a major lineup split ensued, with vocalist
Roger Martinez retaining the name and continuing with a new lineup, and
the other four members at that time departing, eventually to form
Die Happy.
Martinez' crew released two more albums and then disbanded.
After several years of silence, Martinez returned to the scene, but
with an abrupt change of personal views, as he is now fervently
anti-Christian.
He promised new recordings with a new lineup, but nothing ever came
of this.
In early 2004 came reports that the early lineup members (the aforementioned
Die Happy quartet) had reformed.
At first the chosen name was Vengeance, but it was later changed to
Once Dead.
A late August show was played, with
Ultimatum's
Scott Waters serving as vocalist, but
their long-term plans are not known at this time.
