Oh gawd, the RMR crew had Greyhawk down as some funky element in Heavy Metal’s wonderworld with a mean operatic streak. And what do we find? Vocalist Rev Taylor apparently left the band in 2024, the release year of their record Thunderheart. To further his, well, operatic career, they said. There you go, suspicions confirmed. The RMR crew heard some rumblings from backstage that Greyhawk‘s crew had undergone some changes. So, that’s finally put to bed conveniently.
