David Wayne is best remembered as the lead singer of Seattle speed metal band, Metal Church.  Brought into the band to replace the original singer who had quit shortly after the band formed, Wayne fronted the band from 1982 to 1988, appearing on such classic metal albums as Four Hymns, Deathwish, and Metal Church, as well as a reunion album, Masterpeace, in 1999.  After leaving Metal Church, Wayne formed Reverend with members of Heretic, whose lead singer had just left to replace Wayne in Metal Church.  On May 10, 2005, David Wayne, 46, died from injuries sustained in a head-on automobile collision.
