Biography
Los Angeles doom metal pioneers formed in 1978 as Tyrant, led by guitarist Dave Chandler, the band's only constant member. Their slow, *Black Sabbath*-derived sound, defined by 'Born Too Late' (1986) with singer Scott “Wino” Weinrich, shaped doom, sludge and stoner rock across nine studio albums. The original rhythm section of Mark Adams and Armando Acosta anchored the classic line-up; singer Scott Reagers returned in 2015 and bassist Pat Bruders joined in 2016, keeping the reunited band active.
