Synopsis
Album Description Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the release of the now classic self-titled first album, Metal Church, the band is back with a dose of new blood and hotter than ever. Spawned from the new wave of British heavy metal of the late 1970's, the band was formed by Kurdt Vanderhoof and Kirk Arrington, and now includes the talents of another guitar veteran of that era, Jay Reynolds formerly of Malice. The new lineup also includes notable Northwest talents, Ronny Munroe of Rottweiller on vocals and Steve Unger on bass. Having had several band member changes over the years, this lineup is truly the most compelling to date. Delivering the goods with their new album Weight Of The World, which has been called by critics their best in years and a return to their metal roots, Metal Church are now leveling audiences in America and Europe alike. With a no-nonsense, supercharged live show and a new album that will kick you in the teeth, this looks to be the year that Metal ! Church will garner the respect and success they've long been due.

CD ReviewsExtraordinary! German A. Maza | 11/13/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I like Metal Church a lot. Thru the years they have put out great music, but honestly nothing like this. this Cd goes shoulder to shoulder with the best albums from Savatage, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and many other pure heavy metal bands. This is one ofe the great heavy metal albums of all times. Got to listen to this one, if you like honest heavy metal you'll love this one. fantastic. Great singing, better riffs and solos, good keyboards in the background. the best!" GREAT METAL WITH GREAT GUITAR Brent E. Johnson | Naches, WA | 04/04/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Having just picked this up I was wondering what I'd get. With so many personnel changes over the years it's always a crapshoot with Metal Church. Never fear gentle listener for this album rocks. The guitar of Vanderhoof is incredible and has been the consistenly great factor of all Metal Church releases. If you like no frills metal played like it matters this is one to hunt down. A better album vocally than Masterpeace it was a pleasant surprise. Go to church Y'all." A very good release MetalManiac666 | New Hampshire | 06/19/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "This Metal Church lineup has very little resemblance to the original lineup but is still a very good album with lots of cool riffs. The singing takes a little getting used too, afterall its not David Wayne and to most people he is the voice of Metal Church. Lots of political statements and some all around good thrash make this CD worth buying if you are a Metal Church fan or just want to hear some good thrash thats not overly fast or brutal."
