-The original working title of Bride's second album was "Out for Blood."
+====== Bride ======
+Heavy Metal / Hard Rock / Alternative Rock / Rap Metal\\
+Louisville, Kentucky, USA
+Bride is an American Christian metal band formed in the 1980s by brothers [[Dale_Thompson|Dale]] and Troy Thompson. During the band's peak years it was known for covering a wide range of musical styles and remains popular in places like Brazil. Their song "Same 'Ol Sinner" is on the Digital Praise PC game //Guitar Praise//.
+Bride was originally formed as [[matrix_kentucky]] in Louisville, Kentucky in 1983. In 1985, after recording several demos with different drummers, [[matrix_kentucky]] opened for [[Daniel Band]] in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This performance caught the eye of an agent of [[Refuge Records]]. He decided to sign them to their new label, [[Pure Metal Records]], which was oriented to metal music. They officially changed their name to Bride while signing the contract. Stephan Rolland was the drummer at this time, while Steve Osborne and Scott Hall joined on lead guitar and bass guitar at some point to record their debut album //Show No Mercy//. Frank Partipilo joined the band on bass for their second album //Live to Die//. Osborne left after their second album and the band recorded //Silence is Madness// as a four-piece.
+With their contract with Pure Metal Records about to end, the band released //End of the Age// in 1990, which is a compilation album of hits from their first three albums, as well as two new songs that would go to become Bride staples: "Everybody Knows My Name" and "Same Ol' Sinner." The album signaled the "end of an age" as the band shifted away from the heavy metal of their past towards a Guns N' Roses' influenced hard rock sound.
+In 1991, Rick Foley (bass) and Jerry McBroom (drums) joined the band. With a new record deal with [[Star Song Records]], the band released //Kinetic Faith//. The album spawned hits in commercial radio. In 1992, it was announced that [[Dale_Thompson|Dale]] would leave to join [[Stryper]] to replace [[Michael Sweet]], but this never took place. They followed //Kinetic Faith// with //Snakes in the Playground//, which became their most popular album and defining moment of their discography. //Scarecrow Messiah// followed in 1994 after a few delays, and then another compilation //Shotgun Wedding: 11 No. 1 Hits and Mrs.//. The band finally parted ways with Star Song in 1995. Most of these albums albums produced many successful hits in Brazil, where the band has toured and been received with enormous crowds and fanbase.
+That same year, the band signed a one-record deal with a new label called [[Rugged Records]]. They also welcomed a new bassist, Steve Curtsinger (formerly of [[Killed by Cain]]. //Drop// (1995) focused on acoustic instrumentation. In 1997, they switched to [[Organic Records]] and released //The Jesus Experience// which continued their alternative style leanings with a slight grunge and post-grunge overtone. The next year, they released //Oddities//. Although intended to be a return to their roots, the album was more of a blend between alternative rock and hard rock.
+After some differences with the label, the band asked to be released from its contract. Some time later, Curtsinger and was replaced with Andrew Wilkinson before Lawrence Bishop took the spot. McBroom also left and was replaced with Michael Loy. Being picked up by [[Absolute Records]] and veering into rapcore territory, the band released //Fist Full of Bees// in 2001. The album was quickly disparaged by a few fans for containing nu metal and rapcore elements.
+In 2003, the band independently released //This Is It//. It was re-released in 2006 under Retrospective Records, digitally remastered and with bonus tracks and a new cover. Most of their next several albums were released through Retroactive Records.
+In 2006, Bride released //Skin for Skin//, with guitar solos from former Bride guitarist Steve Osborne. The album was praised by Scott Waters of [[Ultimatum]], who said it was "a logical step from //This Is It// and is an honest and successful attempt to progress without worry of what is popular."
+The band reunited with former members, Jerry McBroom and Steve Osborne, to record their next album, //Tsar Bomba//, which was released on October 27, 2009.
+In 2011, Retroactive Records remastered and re-released the band's first three albums (//Show No Mercy//, //Live to Die//, //Silence is Madness//) in a series called //The Originals//. In addition, 2003's //This Is It// was also remastered to support the re-releases.
+Original guitarist Steve Osborne died of suicide on November 16, 2011.
+//Incorruptible// was released via Retroactive Records in 2013. In December of 2013, after 30 years, [[Dale Thompson]] announced that the band was coming to an end. That break proved to be short lived, as the band returned to release //Snake Eyes// independently in 2018. The band released //Here is Your God// on Retroactive Records in November 2020. //Are You Awake?// was released in early 2023.
