Biography
Aberdeen, Washington, USA (1980 – present)
Kurdt dissolved the band and moved to Washington, where he found a lineup that would record the first few Metal Church albums. Along with the move from the Bay Area, the band’s sound also changed to a more melodic, power metal sound, although retaining many thrash elements. Their first album was released in 1984 and the band’s most recent work, ‘This Present Wasteland,’ was released in 2008. Metal Church was formed when the Thrash/Speed Metal Genre was still evolving. Most of their early work had a special trademark that resembled many of the European Black and Death Metal bands of the 1980’s. The songs in their most successful albums, Metal Church and The Dark, proved to be thoroughly worked albums. David Wayne’s vocals resembled those of the growls used by the European black metal bands but in a very high pitched tone. The lyrics from the album The Dark talk about death, assassination, and fears.

Howe was awesome. Hanging In The Balance was a monster album. I still contend that it was overlooked because of the terrible album art.

I like everything i've heard of them, but man, the Howe era was something special. Those three albums all ruled.
