78 Reasons To Worship Me

When you are working hard on a specific project it can be really helpful and revitalizing to do something completely different for a while. This is how 78 Reasons To Worship Me came to life.

After working on several Krijs releases, ISB wanted to “renew his ears and vibe” while improving his guitar- and songwriting skills. No idea if that worked, but what came out was a type of music that instantly woke up a spark of energy. 

After a couple of “78 sessions” ISB decided to upgrade to a formal project. Since he handles a lot of vocal duties for other bands and projects, it seemed logical to ask somebody else to stretch the vocal chords. So … after a short while Richard Snijder came bouncing in. ISB had seen him perform with his band Deadly Alliance and was impressed with his high energy performance and unique sound. The first single "Not To Fall" was recorded in a jiffy. A video was shot right after. The guys have a great chemistry as you can see in the blooper video. After this first song they immediately went on recording a second one, "Who Truth Seeks". They are now recording their first full length album.

78 Reasons To Worship Me are: Richard Snijder - Vocals & lyrics and Ivo S. Bijker - All music & programming

On 18-02-2026 the single "Controler" was released to announce the upcoming album "Pain Turns To Rage".

It is a reflection of all the mind controlling that happens in everyday life. It is a resonance to the level of self determination that humanity as a whole tries to attain. The effects  of this movement are revealing themselves slowly but surely.

The debut album “Pain Turn To Rage” has been released on the 4th of March 2026!

Expect the unexpected in terms of style and delivery. It varies from 70íes inspired rock and doom to stonermetal. It will go back and forth between 80’ies synthwave and epic blackmetal. Funk and surf, hardcore, deathmetal and hillbilly. All in service of the story the dudes want to express.
