METAL CHURCH: 'We Come To Punish Your Inner Senses And Fill Your Metal Souls'

July 11, 2006

Veteran Seattle-based metallers METAL CHURCH have issued the following update:

"Well, the CD is out all over the world and it's selling very well... thanks to you, the fans!!! We've already completed the first leg of the European tour and now we leave Wednesday, July 12th, for the second leg. We're all very excited to go back out and support our new release, 'A Light in the Dark', and visit some places we've not been to before like Spain and Prague. So get ready, 'cuz here we come to punish your inner senses and fill your metal souls!!!"

METAL CHURCH's latest album, "A Light in the Dark", was released in Europe on June 19 (June 27 in the U.S.) via SPV. The CD includes a new version of the classic "Watch the Children Pray" as a tribute to vocalist David Wayne, who passed away in May 2005.

Guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, who doubled as sound engineer and producer during the recordings, had previously promised an offering featuring all the important trademarks of typical METAL CHURCH tracks. "Before our new drummer Jeff Platejoined the band, I would have claimed that the new album will be a traditional heavy metal album through and through," he said. "Now I'm not so sure; we may end up experimenting with the odd unusual idea, but we'll stay within the framework defined by the band's history. 'A Light in the Dark' will represent what the name METAL CHURCH has been standing for for the last twenty years."

METAL CHURCH's current band lineup consists of Vanderhoof (guitar),Ronny Munroe (vocals),Jay Reynolds (guitar),Steve Unger (bass) and Jeff Plate (drums).
