About this album

Metal Church is the self-titled debut album of the heavy metal band of the same name. Released in 1984, this album and its successor, 1986’s The Dark, are considered metal classics. The cover art depicts a cruciform Gibson Explorer hidden in shadows and smoke.
Some of their most notable songs are the opener, “Beyond the Black”; their title track; the instrumental “Merciless Onslaught”; “Gods of Wrath” (which is different from all the other songs, as it had clean vocals, clean rhythms, fluent solos, and a memorable bass line and drum rhythm); and the Deep Purple cover “Highway Star”.
