Jimmy learned over time (especially in his Dio years) and became a very good bassist himself, but in the mid-seventies he was rudimentary no Nick Simper, Roger Glover, Glenn Hughes or Craig Gruber (all bassists Blackmore had played with before) on the instrument. It will forever escape me why Blackmore fired Craig Gruber – in 1976 he was clearly the superior bassist to Jimmy Bain as regards feel, choice of notes and general dexterity. Restored and remastered by Patrick Engel and licensed directly from the last surviving member Andrew “Duck” McDonald” we can now hear one of the great “lost bands” and a piece of Heavy Metal history. Sadly Gary Driscoll, Craig Gruber and Jeff Fenholt have all since passed away, making this release a fitting epitaph to their time together as Bible Black. This CD for the first time compiles all recorded works of the band in one place. All three vocalists recorded demos with Bible Black between the periods of 1981-1983. The band also featured Lou Marullo who later became known as the one and only Eric Adams… and Joey Belladonna who of course went on to join Anthrax. The bands longest tenured singer was Jeff Fenholt, well known for his very brief stint with Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath and his work with the band Joshua. Their album The Complete Recordings 1981-1983 will be released on April 14 via the freshly inaugurated Louder Than Loud Records.īible Black was an East Coast American band formed by former Elf/Rainbow musicians Gary Driscoll and Craig Gruber, along with Andrew “Duck” McDonald. In the early 1980s Gary Driscoll and Craig Gruber (of Elf and the first Rainbow album fame) were in a band called Bible Black. News from the branch of the family tree rarely visited on these pages.
