Christian thrashers Betrayal were formed in the waning days of the Bay Area's once-thriving speed metal scene (1989, to be exact) by vocalist Chris Ackerman, guitarists Marcus L. Colon and Matt Maners, ba**ist Jeff Lain, and drummer Brian Meuse. Making their debut with 1991's Renaissance by d**h L.P., the band achieved minimal market penetration with the backing of tiny independent label, Wonderland Records; but they stuck with it long enough to record a second album named Pa**ing in 1993, which introduced new axe-man Bob McCue and drummer Jeff Mason. Betrayal splintered a short time later, but guitarist Marcus L. Colon would eventually resurrect the band's name for a year 2000 effort entitled Leaving Nevermore, on which he single-handedly performed all instruments and vocals. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
