Culprit - Guilty as Charged 1983

Culprit is a heavy metal band first formed in Seattle, Washington in 1981 by vocalist Jeff L'Heureux, guitarists John DeVol and Kjartan Kristoffersen, bassist Scott Earl, and drummer Bud Burrill. These five musicians first came together when their respective bands played at a mutual gig. This new band got their first taste of success in 1982 when their debut song “Players” was selected on Shrapnel Records’ U.S. Metal, Vol. 2 compilation. Shortly afterward, Culprit signed a proper recording contact with Shrapnel and began work on their debut album. In 1983, Culprit released their first and only album thus far Guilty as Charged to much critical acclaim. Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars, calling it “a lost gem of American metal from the 1980s, and well worth seeking out for fans of other bands from the period.” Scott Earl left the band in 1984 and was replaced by bassist Scott Bringedahl.The band broke up in 1985 and each of its members moved on to other endeavors.
