Metal Church - METAL CHURCH XI - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2013 from the Heavy Metal veterans led by guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof. Generation Nothing marks the bands 10th full length studio and boasts the return to the band's classic Metal sound. Born out of the West Coast Metal scene in the '80s, Metal Church quickly became one of the standout talents of their genre. The band's first simply entitled Metal Church postured the band as one of the pioneers of the Thrash/Metal scene, while their sophomore the Dark was championed as one of the premier Metal releases of the '80s. Now with the current band's line up, Kurdt Vanderhoof (guitar), Ronny Munroe (vox), Jeff Plate (drums), Rick Van Zandt (guitar) and Steve Unger on bass, Generation Nothing combines the best elements of the band's early roots with modern day lyrical content and a revived hunger that delivers an electric assault of anthemic and epic Metal songs!

Metal Church - Metal Church [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/25/1990

Los Angeles' Metal Church stand as one of the most innovative and unfortunately, one of the underappreciated heavy metal bands of the 1980's. And 'The Dark', their second album, is without any doubt, the masterpiece of their hard-driven air-guitar assault. Every track on this album, from the InchTon Of BricksInch attacking your ears at the beginning, to the incredible lament of InchWatch The Children PrayInch halfway through, right to the equally melodic and pounding InchBurial At SeaInch and InchWestern AllianceInch at the end, is a classic. David Wayne's vocals did a great job on 'The Dark', giving the album a no-nonsense metal consistency and quality.
