The legend returns: Metal Church are scheduled to release their latest album, A Light In The Dark, reanimating the zeitgeist of their first two releases, Metal Church (1985) and The Dark (1986). It’s almost precisely twenty years ago that we shook up the international metal scene for the first time with those two recordings, recalls guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof. Just the right moment to bring that era to mind with a brand new album and the same sort of energy that we had back then. The current band line-up consists of Kurdt Vanderhoof (guitar), Ronny Munroe (vocals), Jay Reynolds (guitar), Steve Unger (bass) and new addition Jeff Plate (drums, ex-Savatage). I’ve known Jeff since my solo tour with Savatage, Vanderhoof recalls. And during the 2005 Metal Church tour, when he drummed with opening act Chris Caffery’s band, we also got on really well. So it suggested itself to ask him whether he wanted to join Metal Church. Vanderhoof, who doubles as sound engineer and producer during the recordings, promises an offering featuring all the important trademarks of typical Metal Church tracks, including a new version of the classic We Watch The Children Pray as a tribute to vocalist David Wayne, who passed away in May 2005. A Light In The Dark will represent what the name Metal Church has been standing for the last twenty years.

This is not good...sorry - I tried so hard to like this cd but I just cant. If it was a different band name I might but you can t replace a drummer and singer like they had with this and expect to sell it as the old thing....gimme a break..dont waste your money

Getting back to there origins. - Not to there original members now with Only guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof being the lone remaining member on this CD. I have herd for months before the release of this new cd that it would be in the vein of there first 2 releases, the self titled and The Dark. Well, I do hear bits of pieces of them at times. The riffs are still catchy and melodic and has some thrashy parts just like with the first 2 albums. I love the album cover. Its sort of like a cross between there first 2 covers. The singer Ronnie Munroe does a great job with the high pitches but still no David Wayne (RIP)

A great traditional no frills heavy metal release, the Church lives on! - The only reason I bought this album was because I could get it new for $11 and decided that was worth the risk. I have every MC album except for Weight of the World. The self titled album is great and The Dark and Blessing were pretty good. The Human Factor had great music on some tracks and forgetable music on others. I didn t like how prominent Mike Howe was on that one. Everything after was okay at best.Metal Church lives on. That is good news because they are one of the few bands that played consistent no frills heavy metal (more from a late 70s, early 80s Hard Rock perspective). It s tough to describe the MC sound, but it is somewhere between Deep Purple, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Saxon. The band has always been under Kurt Vanderhoofs direction and guidance. For this reason they remained relatively consistent despite internal struggles.Every thing about this album exceeded my expectations. The riffs are great, solos are good, really catchy, the drumming is good and not overbearing, and I love Ronny Munroe s vocals. I get the feeling by reading some of the other reviews, people hate Munroe and like Wayne and Howe better. I loved Wayne (especially in Reverend) but didn t like Howe that much. Munroe s vocals are great. The range is pretty varied and they re high but still forceful.If you re looking for that classic traditional heavy metal release as of late...here it is.

awesome power/thrash metal album - Metal Church are an awesome metal band, and his new album proves it.

Metal Church - A Light In The Dark - Excellent stuff. The current line up isn t as good as the original one but they are still very good. A Light In The Dark is a good solid metal album.
