We are forced to cancel some of the upcoming dates. It kills us to have to do this. We have tried everything possible to make this work, but because of logistics and screw ups out of our control our hands have been forced. We are pissed off and very disappointed. It is too bad bullshit has to get in the way of us doing what we love.

We were looking forward to hitting the road and playing with Judas Priest and sharing some of the new album with all of you, but it is not going to happen at this time. We will still do the Florida show and the Puerto Rico show with Queensryche in August.

More info to follow.

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." ...
