Mike Smail played drums in legendary Pittsburgh, PA's doom metallers Dream Death. He is currently in Penance, Internal Void and Pentagram.
After bassist Ted Williams' departure from Dream Death, drummer Mike Smail and the rest of the original members reformed with a slightly modified line-up under the name Penance. Penance continues today with Smail as the only remaining original member.
In addition to Penance, Mike Smail has also lent his drumming skills to Cathedral, Silver Tongued Devil, Internal Void, and the legendary Pentagram.
