Effective period / Period of releases: 2016

Heavy metal band from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Formed in 1986 by guitarist Mark Weddington, bassist Mark Lyerly, drummer Michael James, and vocalist Binny Orrell, Havoc would quickly become one of the strongest drawing acts on the N.C. club scene. In 1988 the band would release a six-song, self-titled EP that would be well received by fans, press, and industry. The foursome continued to maintain a steady draw and eventually recorded another four tracks. Unfortunately, as the coming decade was drawing near Havoc would become another one of those all too common stories of 80s rock causalities to the changing times.
