Biography[]

Wharton formed Acid Reign in 1985, along with Kevin "Kev" Papworth, Ian Gangwer, Howard "H" Smith and Gaz Jennings,[4] whom he had met at Granby High School in Harrogate[5] Acid Reign eventually broke up in 1991 after the release of their 1990 album "Obnoxious",[6][7] leading to Wharton joining his ex-Acid Reign bandmates Gaz Jennings and Adam Lehan in Cathedral in 1992.[8][9] Wharton then proceeded to form the band Asomvel with Jay-Jay Winter (whom he had played with in an early band, called "Lochenbar") and Lenny Robinson in 1993.[10][11] At this time, Wharton would also join Venom vocalist Conrad Lant's eponymous band Cronos,[12][13] however, by 1996 Wharton was no longer present in any of these projects.
