"Breaking Point" is the first official full-length album released by the American Power/Speed/Thrash Metal band "Heretic". After the album "Breaking Point" had been released, Mike Howe joined Metal Church, and Heretic fell apart. Some of the members later appeared in David Wayne's (ex-Metal Church vocalist) project Reverend .This album is a great thrashfest with some power-metal atmosphere, and nice speed metal moments as well. When it comes to thrashing, they could run neck in neck with almost all of their contemparies in the Bay Area, but Heretic also had an old school heavy metal influence which imparted a great deal of melody to their compositions.
