After their 1988 breakup, singer Mike Howe joined Metal Church while other members founded Reverend.
The group was founded in Los Angeles in late 1984 by guitarists Brian Korban and Rick Halpin, bassist Scott Patton, drummer Merick Abrajano, and vocalist Mike "Towers" Torres;[3] Halpin and Patton were soon replaced by Bobby Marquez and Dennis O'Hara respectively.
In 2011, Korban, O'Hara and Mendez reformed Heretic with guitarist Glenn Rogers of Hirax, employing a string of drummers that included Federico Dupay, Jason Rosenfeld (an early member of Anthrax), and ultimately Ignazio Coppola.
Daniel Cordova (ex-Vengeance Rising) filled in for O'Hara on the "2011 Metal Massacre" mini tour but was later replaced by Angelo Espino, also formerly of Reverend and Hirax.
[2] In 2013, Metal Blade released a 3-CD box set containing the Breaking Point album, the Torture Knows No Boundary EP, bonus tracks, and a live DVD featuring shows from 1985 and 1986.
