Source-derived summary

"Slave of Satan" is a single by Finnish doom metal band Reverend Bizarre. It was released in April 2005. The sole track, "Slave of Satan" appears here unabridged (featuring an intro and outro with a "Recitation of the Black Liturgy" by Daniel Nyman of Oak) as it was later released in edited form (13:26) on the band's second LP. The single was edited to the exact length of 20:59 to fit the total length limitations set for the Finnish single charts. The release hit the Finnish single charts at number 2, staying on the charts for five weeks.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2005 single by Reverend Bizarre. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q7539192. The first chronological checks are 2005.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
