Reed St. Mark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reed St. Mark is, perhaps, best known for playing drums with the Swiss avant-garde heavy metal band Celtic Frost.
Reed St. Mark joined Celtic Frost in 1985 for the recording of their Emperor's Return E.P. and the highly influential To Mega Therion and Into The Pandemonium albums. After extensive touring with the group, Reed left Celtic Frost in 1988 only to later join the funk metal group Mindfunk, playing drums on their self-titled debut album for Sony/Epic in 1991. Reed left Mindfunk in 1992 to re-join Celtic Frost for the writing of the unreleased 'Under Apollyon's Sun' album.
During his time with Celtic Frost, Reed St. Mark's various trademarks included rows of women's high-heeled shoes arranged on his drum kit and playing drum solos with oversized sticks. He was also noted for his highly visual and flamboyant drumming style as well as hitting his drums exceedingly hard. He was said to have destroyed drum heads on a daily basis as a result of his hard-hitting technique.
Reed St. Mark's musical history includes recording in the 1970s with his first band, The Barlow Boys, bandmembers including Bob Barlow and Mike Barlow. They released a 45 rpm vinyl during their time together.
