The Crucified is an American Christian hardcore and crossover thrash band from Fresno, California that formed in 1984.[1] Its lineup is vocalist Mark Salomon, guitarist Greg Minier, bassist Jeff Bellew, and drummer Jim Chaffin. The band are considered "pioneers of Christian hardcore."[2] During their initial 1984–1993 tenure, the band played at the Cornerstone Festival several times, and also opened for non-religious punk and metal bands like D.R.I. and Pantera.[3][2] The band broke up in 1993 due to personal differences, but reunited in 2009.
