AKELDAMA (Mournful Vengeance / Aristaeus ???)

NOTE: This page is about a band from 1995 that later switched to un/black metal. Not to be confused with several other bands, also named "Akeldama"!

[logo not available]

BAND NAME: Akeldama

GENRE: Death Metal "that incorporated keyboards" (early?)
STATUS: Split-up / ???
LOCATION: USA (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

At least one member no longer identifies as Christian.

Formed in 1995. Landed a deal with "Cue Last Image Records", but internal disputes with the label, and among band members themselves, prevented anything further from happening. The band stopped being active between 1995 and 1996 when they went their separate ways.

They reformed and started "Mournful Vengeance" in 1999, but I'm not sure if that band is meant to be a continuation of this one, or if they're meant to be two entirely separate bands.

They also stopped playing death metal and took on a more black metal sound, but I'm not sure if that happened before or after they stopped using the name Akeldama.

Lineup:
Killian Thorn - Vocals, Guitars

Lord Gideon - "All Vocals"

1) How could Lord Gideon do "all vocals" if Killian was also doing vocals??
