Bible Black was an American band, formed by two ex-Elf/Rainbow musicians: drummer Gary Driscoll and bassist Craig Gruber. It also featured guitarist Duck McDonald, Joey Belladonna (who later departed to join Anthrax), and singer Jeff Fenholt (famous for his lead role in Jesus Christ Superstar).

The band, based in the East Coast, start by recording 2 demo songs with singer Louis Murello (aka Eric Adams of heavy metal band Manowar). A few months later, they recorded the self-titled album Bible Black in 1981 with Jeff Fenholt on vocals, but at the time they did not successed having a contract with any Disc company. At last few month later, they recorded 2 demos songs with singer Joey Bellardini (aka Joey Belladonna of trash metal band Anthrax).

In 1985, McDonald joined Savoy Brown. Driscoll found regular work, which he supplemented with stints as a session musician.
