The songs 'Beyond the Black' and 'Metal Church' are
among the finest one-two punches ever to open a thrash album.

Other favorite songs:

Method to Your Madness, The Dark, Ton of Bricks, etc.

I pretty much lost interest after vocalist David Wayne bailed.

I saw them open up for Anthrax in '87 on the Among the Living tour. MC was supporting The Dark.

That first record is a classic. The Dark was pretty good. Never heard much of the rest. Is the other stuff worth checking out?

Tangento...That has got to be the craziest smiley I have ever seen in my life. I like that.

Speaking of Metal Church. Me and cthon were talking about this. Once upon a time in the early 90s...there was a song called Badlands...Now...I'm not talking about the band Badlands...I'm talking about the song and I would have bet a paycheck that it was Metal Church. Who in the hell did that song??? Its driving me crazy.

You know...I should probably try to look it up if its driving me that crazy...duh.

Hey Tangento I like those songs very much too.
About the band MACE (if it's the same...) I have a tape of "Process of Elimination" and a vinyl of "The Evil in good", I like very much that band but I can't find almost anything of them in the net, (not to mention in the music shops of my country...), have they made other albums?

METAL CHURCH are great. Still listen to ALL their albums:
METAL CHURCH
THE DARK
BLESSING IN DISGUISE
HANGING IN THE BALANCE
THE HUMAN FACTOR
LIVE
MASTERPIECE

David Wayne's last solo cd was pretty good, and Reverend weren't bad either.

Yeah, I saw them w/Anthrax in 87 too. I also saw them at the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ with Metallica. Right after Jason joined them. I belive it was 86. (puppets tour)

I loved Metal Church, especially the debut. Some of the stuff they did with Mike Howe was very good too, like Hanging In The Balance. Favorite? Probably the "LIVE" album.

The first album Metal Church is a true Classic. My favorite one!
I saw them, for the first time, in 1984 at the Banzai Festival in Montral alongside with Slayer, Exodus, Hallow's Eve and Armored Saint.
My second experience, they were opening with Sword for Metallica on their Master Of Pupper tour.
Since then, nothing!

What a coincidence! See that vinyl record on top of my cabinet there? *points* Yup, It's Metalized! I blasted the thing yesterday while havin' a beer on the balcony in the sun. What a beautiful sunday afternoon experience!

Same here! My favourite song on "Hanging..." is "Hypnotized", every time somebody talks about MC that song (or "Badlands" from Belching in Disguise) comes to my mind!

Talking about Sword, their manager Pierre Paradis also managed Voivod during the other limit era.
Anyone know what's happened to him?

Hello useless knowledge! Hey, I'm a old Seattle cat! Metal Church came out of the blue-collar suburb of Kent in Seattle. Indeed they had a great debut and follow up album, but then kinda took a back seat as Bay Area and East Coast thrash bands exploded everywhere. In the early 90's their was a joke around here that their biggest claim to fame was when Metallica opened up for them once or twice sometime in '88 or '89 I think. But that is not as strange as when Alice in Chains opened for Crimson Glory here in Seattle in 1989. Let's see. Mike Howe used to sing for a band called Heretic before MC, but David Wayne has some solo thing going called "Wayne" or something in addition to Reverend. I lost interst in them after the "Human Factor" album as I was discovering HEAVIER stuff like Coroner, Kreator, and of course, Voivod.

You must have been getting the same free promos I was around that time. I was working for Record World for 5 years during the 80's when I got that and lots of other cool promo shit. Concrete Marketing and Metal Blade always set me up with some cool stuff.

SWORD? I saw one very expensive looking video by them for a song called "Trouble Walkin" off the 'Sweet Dreams' album, very generic stuff.

Lol! I saw Metal Church open for Metallica on the Puppets tour. 2 weeks after Jason joined the band.

Hey Tom Sawyer. I was there too, Capitol Theatre Nov, 29, 1986. My second concert! (First was Roger Waters)

Cliff died on Sept. 27, 1986. I believe a few shows of the tour were cancelled, but not New Jersey. It may have been Jason's 3rd or 4th show with the band.

It's really weird looking through the Damage Inc. Tourbook. My how times have changed.

Yah, that was "The Trouble Is" (Trouble Walkin' would be an Ace Frehley record. heh)
Anyhoo, that tune sucked compared to the rest of the record. It wasnt that bad but Metalized blows it out of the water.

Yeah, many years ago I really got into Metal Church's first album. I even remember checking them out at the Coliseum in the mid eighties - they opened for Metallica who were on the Master of Puppets tour and still trying to recover from the Cliff Burton tragedy - and I must say that I had a most enjoyable time! I still dust off my old Metal Church cassette now and then and still get off on listening to them! Pretty sick, huh?

Incidentally, I witnessed an amazing event when Metallica were on stage and performing. Seems someone from the audience threw an empty beer bottle at James Hetfeil and succeeded in having it bounce off of his forehead! No shit! Needless to say that James was quite pertubed by this event and even went so far as send out a few curses in the direction of where this beerbottle originated. He said something to the effect that if it had been him standing in the audience and witnessed the person throw the beer bottle, he would seriously consider taking a few rounds out of the offending person. Could you blame him? On the other hand, I must admit that despite the terrible potential (broken glass getting into the retina and/or something else!),I did find it to be kind of amusing...

Memories are flooding back...

I saw Metal Church at an outdoor show in Corona, CA
where they were playing with Testament and Anthrax.
That was fucking awesome.
Got really hammered there, and had a hell of a good time.

Did this show hit any of your towns, or was it just a one-off deal?
It had to be around '87 '88 or so.

THIS was also the show I have mentioned before where I met ::urp:: Kirk Hammett -
and looking back, I now wish I had crushed his effeminate little hand,
and stomped his twinkling Wah-Wah toes into oblivion.
