Bio:
1979 Christian Center of Salem. The Band was called “Power Faith”. It’s members were John Mahan, Russ Koch, Jim Maxwell and the Late Bob Page. These guys had a small collection of songs and shortly broke up, just to return a year later as “The Gentiles” minus Bob Page. It was during this time Richard Lynch was managing the band, Playing rhythm guitar and writing songs. By 1981 The Gentiles went in to the studio and recorded their first demo with a stand in singer, Max Clark. They sent out to record labels and received a few offers, but each member was slowly moving on to their individual careers, and by 1982 the band folded.In 1982 Richard Lynch and drummer Gene McClindon found themselves bandless and a desire to continue on with the dream of playing Heavy Metal for the Lord. During this time Richard was writing material for a new LP and seized the name SAINT. Gene contacted a friend he new who was to play guitar and could sing as well, his name Josh Kramer. Josh was a great guitarist and had quite the voice. They played an audition in LA for Steve Archer but were told to practice and maybe some other time. Richard told them there would be no other time for them and they left. This is when the idea of their own label was birthed. 1984 saw the birth of the new label Rotton Records and the EP “Warriors Of The Son.” John Mahan returns and two years of “musical” drummers start, too many to name, until the band settled on Mike Lowery.In 1986 the band signed a contract with Pure Metal Records and releases its first full-length, “Time’s End.” With drummer Mike Lowery out of the band just one week before recording, drummer Brian Willis is then hired (on loan from the band Quarter Flash) to perform on the album along with Josh Kramer (vocals), John Mahan (guitar), and Richard Lynch (bass).In 1989 their second full-length album "Too Late For Living" was released, guitarist Dee Harrington and drummer John Perrine join the effort along with Josh Kramer, John Mahan and Richard Lynch. The band is now on an all time roll and then mysteriously folds.In 1999 Richard Lynch and Dee Harrington regroup with drummer/vocalist Tim Lamberson. Saint puts out the EP “The Perfect Life”, which was quite a departure from Saint's usual Metal assault. The EP alienated quite a few fans and it seemed Saint's True Metal Mission had been turned into an alternative hard rock project.In 2008 the band released the album "Crime Scene Earth" which featured more of a "retro-metal" sound (think Judas Priest's "Stained Class" album) on much of the tracks. There's even a cover of Priest's "Invader" from the album - you guessed it - "Stained Class". The lineup for "Crime Scene Earth" consisted of Josh Kramer, Dee Harrington, Jerry Johnson, Richard Lynch and Larry London.In late 2009, the band released what is possibly their best effort to date. "Hell Blade" is heavy, catchy and features a modern sound without compromising the impact of their True Metal sound. "Hell Blade" features the lineup of Josh Kramer, Jerry Johnson, Richard Lynch and drummer Bill Brost. It's 2011 and the band are in the studio recording the follow-up to the mighty "Hell Blade" with new drummer Mike Lowery.
