NEW GUITAR PLAYER ANNOUNCED!
After much consideration and many qualified applicants,
we have come to a decision on a new guitar player. We have
chosen Rick
Van Zandt. Rick is a very gifted player who spent many
years in the Seattle metal scene in bands like The End,
Rottweiller and the Ronny Munroe Band. Some of Rick's influences
are Steve Vai, Richie Blackmore and Eddie Van Halen.
Rick brings a whole new level of playing to Metal Church
and we are all glad to have him. We are sure you will be
as well.
Get ready for some shredding! The new album really kicks
some metal ass. Every band says that, but we mean it!!
Kurdt, Ronny, Steve, Jeff and Rick

Due to personal reasons, Jay Reynolds has left Metal Church.
We thank him for his contributions to the band, and wish
him all the best in future endeavors.
Jay's replacement has not been decided upon yet, but it
will be announced here when a decision has been reached.
Thanks for your continued support!
Cheers,
Metal Church

Review
from Sweden Rock:
... "When Americans Metal Church - who has always
been one criminally underrated band - hit the stage the
really furious headbanging began. The five potent power
preachers in the metal church served superior headbanger-hymns
such as "Ton Of Bricks", "Start The Fire",
"Human Factor" and a version of Deep Purples
"Highway Star" played with such intensity that
it would probably have killed the aging Purple, had they
had to play the song that way themselves.
"Steffen my friend, what a great fucking band,"
as one guy next to me yelled.
This perceptive individual was - of course - absolutely
astute in his assessment of Metal Church. Should you have
been in doubt... "

... "Presto Ballet is a new band from
Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof. Singer Scott Albright
was lead singer on Vanderhoof's first solo album and also
frontman for his European tour, as special guests of Savatage.
As with Albright, keyboard player Brian Cokeley is also
a longtime musical partner of Vanderhoof. Rounding out the
line up are drummer Jeff Wade and bassist Brian Lake, with
whom Vanderhoof was already familiar with, having joined
him on Metal Church's "Masterpeace" tour."
