Blind Disciple Blind Disciple is a four-piece Thrash Metal band from Fresno, California. While none of the members actually live in Fresno, they aligned themselves with the Fresno heavy metal scene as it was closest to their rehearsal space with is in the rural area just south of Fresno. They site bands like Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus and Slayer as key influences to their sound.

Biography Formed by Max Hernandez in 2008 under the name Skapegoat, the band went through a revolving door of members. After seeing an ad placed on Craigslist, Jay Mattson auditioned for the role of lead vocalist. The band changed it's name to Fall of a Tyrant after some research revealed there were already several other bands with the name Skapegoat. They began auditioning lead guitarists and eventually found one but not long after, they had a falling out with John McAusland causing Jay, Max and Mark Temple to take the Fall of a Tyrant name and rebuild the band. They recruited one-time lead vocalist of Skapegoat, Adam Smith, to play rhythm guitar and also found a new lead guitarist. The band played a few shows but broke up a few months after reforming due to various reasons.

Max, Jay and Mark Temple found themselves once again faced with the task of rebuilding. They took a month off after the break-up of Fall of a Tyrant to reevaluate the band and it's direction. They met up again in June of 2011 and began jam sessions for their new band. Jay took up guitar duties as well as lead vocal duties temporarily until suitable members could be found. They reunited with John McAusland and reconciled their differences and he joined the band as rhythm guitarist. Once again they began searching for lead guitarists. After a fruitless search, they decided they would move forward as a four-piece and John would take over lead guitar duties. Thus Blind Disciple was born.
