Reverend Havoc is an art concept that began in November of 2008. Starting primarily as a music project, owner and founder Cole created the project as an outlet for his creativity. After a few small solo projects, and failed attempts with putting several bands together, Cole decided to focus primarily on Reverend Havoc.
The name was created from a nickname that Cole was given years prior. It is not meant as a blasphemous or negative title. Nor does it always reflect the mood or content of the music and artwork created under it.
The first song created under this project was "Chaotica", followed soon by "All Rise" and a few other demo tracks. Chaotica was meant as a place holder track, but quickly became one of the more popular tracks from the project in it's early stages, due to it's unique blend of chaos and heavy sound. This track later appeared as a remastered and remixed version on a compilation through Ear Bleeding Tunes Productions, three years later.
The first release was a collaborative track with G. James Wyrick from the project, "The Method Learned". The track was "Black Heaven". There were three versions of this track, and it saw a release in May of 2009. While this was more of a reading, than an actual song, it received good reviews from the Gothic underground culture, and would be the last release until 2011.
2010 - 2011
After a long hiatus, Reverend Havoc returned and has been rapidly growing. In the last days of 2010, Cole was invited to be on a compilation from Milligrid Records. The track "When Midnight Comes Around", was created specifically for this compilation of techno and dance tracks. Seeing a release just before Christmas, this was the first major song produced under the Reverend Havoc Project.
The next release would follow shortly after in January as Visceral Dawn, a collaborative track with DJ Restless, was released through Ear Bleeding Tunes Productions record label. A remixed version of this track was released in June of 2011, as a self release through the Reverend Havoc bandcamp page, and later became available on a few other sites.
In March, Reverend Havoc worked with filmmakers Jon and James Kondelik on a pitch trailer for their film "The Mad Hatter". After finishing the music for the trailer within two weeks, and the trailer being released, the first full length album "Echoes From Wonderland" was released. It features seven tracks. Five of which were used for the trailer, and two additional ones that were created while working on the music for it. Half of all proceeds generated from this album, are donated to helping fund the film "The Mad Hatter".
Also in March, a remix from Reverend Havoc for the album "Blacklist 23" released by artist Experiment Haywire was released as well.
April saw the release of the "Billions Brain Washed" compilation put out by Ear Bleeding Tunes Productions. The track "Chaotica (Hellscapes Version", saw a release on this album, as well as the artwork for Billions Brain Washed was done by Reverend Havoc.
Also in April, DJ Restless released the album "The Blue Prints", in which some of the guitar work was done by Reverend Havoc from a collaborative track from 2010.
In the month of July, Reverend Havoc was featured on two other artists albums via remixes. The first being the debut album from artist, Dacaboya titled "Tagged" which was released on July 15th. The day after, "Siren's Beacon" by artist FTMTE (Fear That Makes The Empire), was released. The cover art for "Siren's Beacon" was also made by Reverend Havoc.
In late August of 2011, Echoes From Wonderland got a second release. This time it was packaged as a digital download with the pitch trailer of which the music was for. This version is available exclusively through TheXFactory.

What does one think of, when they are faced with their own mortality, or their neutral existence? What does the sound of silence really sound like when one is surrounded by it? What does defiance have in common with the conformity of everyday life?
My music varies. It's very hard to label it. I mix pretty much all types of music in, and create anything that seems to be flowing through the tunnels of my subconscious, at any given moment.
