#metalchurch #freethinkers - Zábava
Been listening to metal for over forty years. Metal Church's self-titled debut is one of the greatest Metal albums of all time, period.
Agreed 🤘
Absolutely.
Metal church blew Metallica off the stage opening up on during master of puppets tour!
Thank You. for 20 years i am preaching how people are sleeping on this band
@@facelessandnamelessHell is REAL. Repent of your sins and turn to God. He loves you. Believe in his Son Jesus and you'll be saved. CZcams: 30 Days Touring HELL
Metal Church is highly underrated. They should have been bigger. Their first two albums are total classics. Musically they were every bit as good as any of their contemporaries. Such a killer band.
Blessing In Disguise was ridiculous.
@@trentparker5217 Still one of my favorite albums to this day. Honestly I think they hit it on the head in this video. The name was cheese.
Extremely overlooked despite being around forever. I saw them as one of the opening bands for Amon Amarth and Megadeth many years ago. They only had a 30 minute set and they were amazing! Howe has great stage presence that rivals even Bruce Dickinson.
@@trentparker5217 love that album, it was so overlooked
I bought this when it came out on cassette.
Everyone who was a teenager in the 80's and into Metal, knew and knows who Metal Church is...
12-20. Introduced to heavy metal with zeppelin then.. still stuck in heavy metal heaven now at 51
Tru dat bro man!
RIP Mike Howe. Passed away this morning at his home in Eureka, California.
RIP
Rip Mr howe
This entire album kicks ass.
One of the best albums from the 80s an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!\,,/❤\,,/
Highkey it’s fire
Damn right.
July 5, 1992 saw Metal Church open for Metallica in Allentown in the rain. What a show that was
@@keithmccrary325 ok I don't get jealous often I've seen some great bands. But that's a show I'd love to have seen. YA lucky man RIGHT ON!!!! \,,/😁\,,/
Metal Church, Overkill, Savatage.. 3 bands that all true metalheads should know and appreciate.
toss in Flotsam and Jetsam for me pal!
Testament also
@@dwaynestjohn5324 hm Testament is garbage... Especially the new albums
@@Johnjohnlamenace lol your crazy
Overkill for sure. The horoscope album is nuts
David Wayne is one of the best thrash metal vocalist ! RIP
The vocals are perfect for the vibe of the package "Metal Church". One of the best Metal albums ever.
Metal Church is absolutely one of the most overlooked bands in the genre. Another great track from this album for you guys to check out is Beyond the Black.
They did a reaction to Beyond the Black a month or two ago. It's on Patreon.
HELL YEA!!!
@Robert Juzefski your ABSALOULTY right!!! \,,/❤\,,/
@Josh Tyler ABSALOULTY correct good sir \,,/❤\,,/
@@Blarsen780 Are you sure they did it a month ago? because they are acting as if this is the first time they have ever heard Metal Church...
Anyone that considers themselves an “old school” metalhead should be well aware of Metal Church. They are a staple! Enjoy!!
Agreed! In the 80's and 90's every other metal collection had at least one Metal Church album and/or cassette tape and if asked probably 4 out of 5 times Metal Church would be one of your favorite metal bands favorite metal band.
Ryan and George are right about the vocals though. That vocal style just never found consistent commercial success in the American market. I believe Metal Church had a more consistent commercial success in different parts of Europe.
@@evilfantasy69 Absolutely, man!! 👊🏻
Correct. They had a new singer for the next album.
Some great Metal Church to react to is on their alb “The Dark”... you’ll like- Burial at Sea, Method to your Madness, and Watch the Children Pray.
especially in 1991 when they released The Human Factor
Beyond the Black is also a wicked tune of theirs.
the whole album is perfect. Non-biased opinion because I don't even like this band so much.
Agreed
Beyond the black really showcased the vocal abilities available from this album.
First 3 albums were classic.
Most definitely. One of my favorite all time metal songs...Beyond the Black
I love that you guys are "head bangers" now. When a heavy beat kicks in with killer riffs you both very naturally start the head banging right on que. I love it. I'm proud of you both.
Look at videos of crowds at early rock n' roll concerts and you will see them struggling to express themselves without the headbang. They'll wag their knees and try different dance moves and fall to the floor and stuff like that, which is clearly unsatisfying. Their peculiar behavior made them look possessed, which is probably one of the reasons rock was condemned by churches. The itch of rock and metal is only scratched by headbanging.
@@chestersnapdragonmcphistic579 That's interesting. You're right yeah it is "scratched" by headbanging, which is basically instinct.
Theres no turning back now Metal has embraced them already that headbangin will be naturally part of them now everytime they hear Heavy sht
Wow, I never thought I’d see someone react to Metal Church. I remember when this album came out. We played the hell out of it for months! This whole album is basically the metal version of the first Boston album, in that every track is a banger!
same here
have you heard the Panzerchrist version? It is heavy with excellent sound production. enjoy
I suggest to a lot of these “reactors” but no one has done one... that whole album stayed in the cassette player start to finish
Every single track
100% agree
For years I’ve been asking OVERKILL! Evil never dies!
Probably the best song to react to I agree!!!!!!
I'd rather hear Elimination or something like Coma or Necroshine
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@stevekozlowski5963 EEE limination
Overkill is definitely another old school metal band that was ripping shit up back in the day. It would certainly be a worthy addition to there metal band reactions.
Well...well...well...gentlemen! Look at you guys and how much your "metal ear" has grown! What a pleasant surprise to ME! This is what I have to tell you guys...In my opinion, if you would have listened to this 3 years ago, I feel you would have shot this song down. I couldn't be happier that you dig this particular Metal Church song. I feel you guys are expanding your listening tastes and skills. There is still so much "stuff" for you guys to explore. But, George and Ryan, your ears are growing (Right in front of us!) and that is so cool. And yes, this band is K-I-L-L-E-R.
Got this when it came out. Although.. Glad to see its timeless,, Doesn't matter if you listened to them 40,years ago.. Or for the first time,, as,long as you experience it
Spot on there! Not easy to dig Metal Church, I jumped on my headphones and listened to "Gods of second chance"
This whole album is badass, not a single bad song on it!
I think you guys are readyfor some Savatage, starting with "Hall of the mountain king"
Although for a 1st listen, maybe 24 Hours Ago....
definatley
Hell ye we getting to some real shit! Total Devastation!
I think they'll trip out from Jon's "EH EH EH EH EH!" that he's been doing since their debut "Siren's", Jon Oliva is yet another unique vocalist. Man, if they checked out "Holocaust", "Sirens", or "The Dungeons are Calling" and "The Grace of the Witch", that would shock me. But Hall of the Mountain King is just as good \m/.
Beyond the doors of the dark
I heard of Metal Church, never heard their music, that was mistake, this is 🔥🔥🔥
Kirk Arrington was the drummer for many albums. Seriously under rated drummer. These guys are the shiznit of the shiznit of 80s metal and beyond. Seriously underrated band, Major influence for me as a musician. Bad ass!
RIP to the drummer, Kirk Arrington, 5/23/23. I grew up in Hoquiam and was a few years behind him and Duke Erickson (bass). Metal Church were great friends of Metallica and should be considered one the best of Thrash Metal ever.
@@hollywoodcop I agree! I was just showing a friend of mine how it play “ Metal Church “ off their first album on the drums last night. Kirk was force if nature! I love his drumming. He had chops, groove, pocket, and creativity. Wish I could have met him. Thank you for your thoughts!
The one drum fill has always bothered me, it's a bit off time.
This is one of those rare albums where every song has a _completely_ different vibe, yet all of them are completely amazing. It's crazy how versatile this band is. That goes for the vocalist as well, he has more or less four or five different vocal styles and all of them sound pretty damn polished. One of my favorites.
"Beyond the Black" & "Gods of Wrath" are 2 other kickass songs on this album!
Yesssss, gods of wrath is lit
Beyond the Black is one of my favorite metal songs of all time.
If you have Patreon they also did Beyond The Black 🤘
Gods of Wrath is a masterpiece
@@facelessandnameless sweet! Thanks!
Man I'm 49 years old this is a flashing me back. I used to listen to metal church and all the metal bands in the 80s when I was in high school this is awesome that you guys actually gave these guys a listen. crazy
55 here, listened to these guys in college. I'm a metalhead from the early 80's to today! Love it!! Takin' me back!
48 here and still rock my battle jacket. Metal Church was a staple in my playlists...aka...mix-tapes.
This is on my playlist with many other Metal Church song's , even the new stuff kicks ass!
Same here I'm the same age
@@countoftuscany6753 nice name btw. Count of Tuscany is, imo, one of the greatest songs ever written
One of my favorite albums ever and always loved David Wayne's vocals. Very original voice.
The vocals are amazing. DW was a genius.
“Watch the Children Pray” was their big hit single.
Badlands was big too
Badlands
Just not the "Watch the Children Pray" 2006 version.
Badlands has the worst guitar solo ever recorded. They had it crushed right up to the solo. Let’s not do that to these guys.
Watch The Children Pray ftw!
And/or Gods Of Wrath!
Start the fire too
Anyone that liked Metallica in the 80s knows who Metal Church is.
Metal Church opened for them in Toronto I believe it was `87
Even Metallica love Metal Church
Seen them play together in Anaheim, Calif in '85 I'm guessing
I saw Metal Church open for Metallica at the Felt Forum in NYC in December of 1986! \m/
Saw them together in 92
You will never forget the first time you hear Beyond the Black. Still gives me goosebumps
Agreed! I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard it 😂
Heard it on my walkman and was blown away as well as the whole album.
1987 was a terrible awful shitty year for me, parents split moved with mom to a state where I had no friends no life. Metalchurch cassette on infinite replay
Gods of Wrath
For not being metalheads, you guys have a great ear for the cream of metal.
I love both of you for respecting the Metal.
Kirk is one of the most criminally underrated drummers of the scene
I have always thought that.
Absolutely agree!
He was a huge influence on me!
this
Man, I’ve been thinking that for YEARS! Kirk rules.
Metal Church is old school. They rocked it out hard back in the day. They never blew up super huge, but had some real talent and definitely influenced a lot of other bands.
Hey I know right.
They would get a kick out of Killer Dwarfs lol.
@@nickhill8612 Killer Dwarfs. LOL!! Haven’t heard that name in a long time. Flash back alert flash back alert!
@@scottdonohue3379 Keep The Spirit Alive!
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119This is Gen X metal. We rule.
I’ve noticed a lot of people have recommended Savatage, specifically their song “Hall of the Mountain King”. Let me just say I was listening to an endless metal playlist on Spotify and when I heard this song for the first time, it truly shined amongst the other metal songs. The Olivia brothers truly crafted one of the best works of metal art in history for this album, and on behalf of everyone who has ever listened to Savatage, this band is **the** most underrated metal band of all time. Hope you guys get the chance to take a look at this song, and maybe a couple others by the band.
P.S. RIP Criss Oliva
Agreed. Savatage is definitely the most underrated metal band ever.
Legions is also cool
Agree...
I played this Album on a non-stop loop for a year back in the day. They had their day in the sun, and it's good to see them making a return and getting proper recognition.
Metal Church? Really? Wow, no one has ever reacted to this amazing band before (not that I'm aware of) glad to see this reaction 💪🏻😎
My band played with Metal Church many many years ago and I was blown away that they weren't bigger than they ever got. George, they are a sleeper. You called it.
Where was your band from? My brother's friend opened for Metal Church back in the 80s...he was from Eugene, Oregon....cheers!
THERE WILL NEVER NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER BAND SUCH AS
METAL CHURCH ONE OF A KIND
RIP MIKE !!!
The reason a lot of bands in the 80's had that shrill evil vocal style was to take the dark demonic fantasy element to another level. They wanted to sound like Satanic sorcerers, angry spectres, demons,or the Devil himself. Although most of it is an acquired taste, there are a few bands that found a nice middle ground between the high pitched notes and melodic singing.
I ran straight to the comments when I saw Metal Church. VERY underrated. Even my metal head friends don't know who they are. If you liked this song, you'll appreciate Gods of Wrath by them
Yeah, they shall react to "gods of wrath". It's another badass song!
Damn right! Gods of Wrath! I still listen to it when the Mrs. is out of town and I have the house and the speakers to myself. The solo. OMG!
@@richmay3929 that song is meant to be blasted
Love you guys!!! Keep up the great work you do and shout out to MetalHeads everywhere..
Watch the Children pray is probably my favorite Metal Church song
I got to see, and meet Metal Church… Awesome band, and Guys
Y'all loving this song warms my heart, I really needed this video guys, thank you.
Metal Church kicks ass.
This is probably my favourite LIV video. You guys really went for a lesser known track, got fully into it and looked to be having an excellent time. That's exactly what the channel is all about. Love you guys and everything you do.
Oh wow the Singer David Wayne was about 30 when this came out and had been a US Army Combat Medic prior to joining the Band.
Whoa, this is so cool! I bought this album when I was 15, and I'm 50 now! I haven't listened to it for so long, thanks for the new appreciation for Metal Church!!!!!!
Right there with you Jessica, this was a serious trip back in time. You really didn’t need to remind me that we are 50 now and this came out when we were teens. Not cool to kick a man in the jewels while he’s enjoying a trip down memory lane. LOL!! Keep on rockin!! 🤘🏻
Class of 87 here. This is the stuff that got me though school. Great blast from the past. Heading to Spotify to take in the whole album again!!!!!!🤘🤘
Oh I hear ya! I just turned 51 yesterday....and now this video - I feel 50 again! hehe
@@anthonyrivers1619 LOL!!
This and Gods of Wrath are the biggest ones of this album, but the whole thing is a metal masterpiece. Thanks for doing it!! Kirk Arrington was a massive influence on me and I'm glad you gave him a shout out :)
I remember when this album came out. Holy Hell, it was a game changer. Gods of Wrath was a killer song and riff. This song kept me sane in boot camp in 1987 when I would drum on my footlocker the beat and have the guitar in my head.
Rest in Peace David Wayne.
His vocals fit Metal Church to perfection.
David Wayne is the vocalist on this track. He was their original vocalist. Sadly, he passed away in 2005.
Not the original voice...MIKE IS THE ORIGINAL....do some homework
Pretty sure Mike Murphy was vocalist when they were still called Shrapnel. David Wayne took over after Murphy and soon after they changed their name to Metal Church.
@@wesleywalkden9026 I stand corrected. Thank you.
@@christhom670 Thanks for the info. I was not aware.
@@cajunvikingrecords technically you were correct though. David Wayne is the original vocalist of the band Metal Church.
I love Metal Church and have listened to them for 20 years, They are probably amongst the ten best bands of all time. Magnificent stuff and I'm glad to see that you guys liked it.
Beyond the black is also a fantastic song! definitely a sleeper 💯
Gods Of Wrath is the song that got me all the way into this band! Saw em three times. Twice with David Wayne, one of the best live shows i ever saw.
I love how y’all over the years have kinda taken the journey a lot of us metal heads have over our lives where we gradually tolerate crazier vocals lol
Yepp. It's always fun to see others go through that. I had my first brushes with Metal when I was 12 or 13 and then I couldn't stand growls, screams, etc.
By the time I was 16 I thought anything other than growls and screams was lame ^^
It's so true lol. We can all relate
Are they ready for a bit of Agent Steel or King Diamond yet?:D
Edit : I got carried away and commented before the bit where they mention King Diamond. Derp.
lol this is so true
@@SanDimas234 Ryan mentions King diamond in this video.
I love Metal Church! And this song left an impression on me at a young age, it's sick!
The vocals grow on you, I'd say.
I actually bailed on Metal Church when they switched vocalists to Mike Howe on their 3rd album. Even though Howe is probably a more "traditional" vocalist, his voice, not only didn't do anything for me, it got on my nerves.
That's true for a lot of metal I'd say. I wasn't crazy about Sean Killian's voice in Vio-Lence when I first heard it, but it grew on me quick and now I can't imagine their songs without it
@@independenceltd. Fake Healer was an awesome song. The latest album XI isn't all that.
@@independenceltd. I suggest you listen to the last 2 albums with him , they're great in my opinion. Their will never be another David Wayne but those last 2 albums kick ass and have a more traditional metal crunch with some thrashier song's mixed in!
@@briancoleman2712 There's a few good song's on that album but the one before that with Howe's return was better IMO!
There was a lot of joy in just seeing y’all react to that. Never seen George put one in the playlist before it was done lol. That was awesome, guys.
One of the best metal songs of all time. The production and sonic quality are off the chart. Whoever produced and mixed this, those are the best sounding drums I've ever heard as well as the guitar tone sounding as well as their playing ability. Just a great song.
Metal Church - Badlands is a great song. Anything off the Blessing in Disguise album is worth a listen.
Badlands is incredible
+1 for Badlands
+2
Badlands is definitely one of their best with second singer, Mike Howe.
I love Howe's vocals more than Wayne's. Blessing in Disguise is the album that grabbed me. Badlands is brilliant
You also need to check out their album The Dark.
David Wayne could sing his ass off!
Reverend
@@reverendriff5597 - Reverend was such a SUPER underrated band. I LOVE their debut Ep.
Saw this band at Ruthie's in Berkeley. It was their return to the Bay Area. Everyone was there, Metallica, Exodus, Trauma, Hexx, etc. Great show and good dudes. These guys had everyone's respect.
I never thought I'd see a Metal Church review/reaction, much less that you guys would like it so much. 😊
Savatage - hall of the mountain king
Yeah yeah yeah!
Prelude to Madness Which leads into Hall Of the Mountain King!!
Edge of Thorn
@@abdoalrahmanmohammed2610 I personally like the older Savatage. I do not like the growing influence of Paul O'Neill, despite Streets. I prefer Heavy Metal not musical😂 But Edge was the last record with Chriss Oliva and had strong moments. My Classic Albums are Hall..., Gutter... and Power...
Hells yeah, or Devastation or any song on that album.
As a metalhead for 14years now, I have never heard of this band!! So thanks to you guys! :)
Metal Church was the litmus test for determining true metal fans back in the late 80s/90s. Plenty of people wearing Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden t-shirts. But someone busts out a Metal Church CD and you know they're into serious metal. This album, and The Dark, are S Tier metal. Really overlooked band, and was WAITING for you guys to catch this, cause I knew you'd like the swing tempo, that triplet beat that dominates jazz, R&B, and other dance music. Makes you really get tangled in.
This is probably my favorite reaction of yours. So cool seeing you appreciate this under appreciated band. Favorite reaction but favorite quote is still from Holy Wars reaction “ this is like Black porno” 😂
Never thought I’d see a Metal Church reaction ! You guys constantly bring a fresh take on classics for this lifelong metal head. I can re appreciate these killer tracks. Love what you guys continue to do!
I've been waiting forever for you guys to do Metal Church! Yesss!!! 🤘
This is absolutely my favorite of all of your reaction videos. I come back to this every few months to rewatch it and your reaction and the appreciation of the music always hits!
Ever since Black Sabbath's first album "Black Sabbath" kicked off the genre which would come to be known as heavy metal with the first song on that album "Black Sabbath" many metal bands have done the same. Iron Maiden's first album was self-titled and they still play "Iron Maiden" in their live show to this day. This album is fire through and through, glad you guys gave this a listen. Cheers guys!
I remember seeing Metal Church Armored Saint and a very young Metallica at Gazzari's on the sunset strip back in the 80s.
That song's fun as shit to play on the drums. Don't sleep on Metal Church.
Dude, you're so right, George! I consider myself above average as far as how many metal songs anyone has listened to. From Black Sabbath to Megadeth, from Cannibal Corpse to Necrophagist and anything in between, I'm 43 and I've listened to thousands of metal songs but I've never really listened to a whole song from Metal Church. I know their name, I've seen their pictures and photos back in the day but this is my first time listening to them.
You dudes got me listening to them now!
Your channel is FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Agreed...first for me as well.
Try Metal Church “Ton of Bricks”!
Yep
The Kirk Arrington Blast §§§§§§§
First time i listen ton of bricks is on a charlie sheen film about stoling cars in the 80s....for me as a kid ton of bricks are "the metal" music...made a huge impact on me..
Metal Church has a bunch of great songs you could react to. Start the Fire, Gods of Wrath, Beyond the Black, Watch the Children Pray...
man start the fire is one of my go to metal of the day and beyond black is awesomeness
Fuckin awesome! I first heard this in '85 and this song is one of my favorites to play on drums! 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
This is a VERY influential album for me. Gods of Wrath is amazing. The cover of Deep Purples Highway Star. Beyond the Black. Just an excellent album. David Wayne was a very underrated singer.
This music was the first metal music that I've heard in my life. It was 1984. This drumming fills was amazing for a 12 years old kid.
"Ton of Bricks" from "Metal Church - The Dark."
The Dark!
One of my favorite tunes that you guys have introduced me to over the years. Shout out to everyone who requested this song.
Bingo Larsen This whole album is the shit!
This entire album and the one that followed are absolutely mind blowingly good
Yes, this album and The Dark are what Metal Church is to me
Yes sir, these cats are the real deal. This album and their 2nd "The Dark" are very special. There's no filler tracks on either. (except maybe Highway Star could be considered "filler" because it's a cover, BUT only because its not an original).
Peace
Here! I have typed 'Metal Church' into the comments for a few years now, Love to all my Heavy Metal brethren!
Man this brings back memories of the days in the early 80s and 90s when you used to walk into the local Tower Records once or twice a month and scan the metal section from A to Z. I bought so many metal albums just by the cover art and discovered an entire world of metal, too many to name, but it became a ritual and I built my album collection from that practice, Good Times lost forever.
Oh man, so true! I got in to Metal Church cuz of Megadeth liner notes, but Stormtroopers of Death was totally cuz of looking at the cover art. Meliah Rage also. Whiplash. Artillery. Like you said, too many to name!
Preach
Sad news in the metal world today. Vocalist Mike Howe, singer for Metal Church has passed away today. Good to see this reaction. Keep metal. And raise your horns. 🤘
I can't get through this song without air drumming and guitaring.
At that time, this album was as important to us as Master Of Puppets. My first tattoo is pretty much inspired by the cover pic of this one. Metal Church was a huge impact and influence. Quite funny you arrived here that late. 😅 and btw the drumming on this record was also a huge influence on my own playing.
I did not know about this group previously. I love this! Thanks for this reaction!
Luv Metal Church, one of my fav metal bands of the 80's
Band: Metal Church
Album: Metal Church
Song: Metal Church
Metal 101.
You have arrived at your destination.
David Wayne is one of the greatest metal vocalist of all time. 🤘
Agreed!!
Lol, these guys didn’t like him. That’s what opinions are for.
Wayne (the band) was pretty tight for a minute.
The Reverend!
@@cohokid6936 I just discovered that band today!! I never knew!!
I admit, I’m more of a Mike Howe guy. I also prefer Howe’s socially conscious lyrics over Wayne’s fantasy-ridden stuff.
Lol, not even close
Their album The Dark is one of my favorite albums ever
15:06 the drum fill is always my favorite part 😂
Yep, incredible.
I remember vividly when I heard this album for the very first time in 1984 (I was 14 back then) and I as well was blown away by the sheer musicality, the impressive song-structures and its massive production. It warms my heart that this type of music is somewhat still relevant judging by your reactions. You guys get it! Thank you for yet another great video!
Church is a band that all other metal bands love, that tells you all you need to know, when Jaymz got burnt by pyro they got John Marshall, to play on tour, whats that tell you, was a teenager when metallica, megadeth, slayer & all hit the scene & without question Metal Church is our best kept secret but the secrets out & enjoy! They are NOT a one off, simply explore & enjoy ~ thanks to you for bringing them to light🤘
I saw one of those shows with him playing for Hetfield. Still a great show!
Metal Church opening for Metallica at Allentown fairgrounds was best show I've ever seen those 2 bands just destroyed us that night
I'm so glad to see an underrated gem finally getting more recognition
There are like 5 or 6 amazing songs from this record. Its such an 80's Metal/Thrash Classic.
Kirk Arrington is one of my favorite all time drummers. Complete beast.
Anthem to the estranged is a masterpiece, hope you'll listen it someday
One of my all time favorite songs of theirs.
Easily my favorite song of theirs! I met the band twice and told them they NEED to break it out into the setlist one day!
Thanks for puttin me on to Metal Church! This is straight fire from beginning to end!
This came out in 1984..... It's 2022 and I'm still listening to this.... Absolute staple of heavy metal.
Love your reaction
Wow!! What a great birthday present. My favourite metal album ever! And so underrated. I love this song. And the drummer, Kirk Arrington indeed, is the best metal drummer ever imho. You should try the song ‘Beyond the Black’ as well. For me the epitome of heavy metal. Thanks guys, great review/first reaction..
Happy Birthday to a fellow Aquarian! mine was the 15th
I immediately loved this album when it came out in 1984, and I still see Metal Church every chance I get!!! \m/ RIP David Wayne (vocalist)
Hell yeah, When I was in the Navy from 2012-2016, Metal Church was on my album rotations for driving to and from work. Brings back those memories and feelings lol
Those are hard vocals,it goes with the song perfectly.
LZ Robert Plant, AC/DC Brian Johnson, MC Mike Howe, GR Axl Rose these 4 guys have special vocals in the world of rock.
Never clicked faster! Shocking choice.
Hope you do 'Gods of wrath.'
That is an awesome song
The best!!!
YES GODS OF WRATH!!!!!!!!
Yes! The drums will blow their minds.
The best one
This song is a masterpiece. The drumming is absolutely perfect. I'm baffled but glad y'all reviewed it!
George and Ryan, LIV, easily one of my favorites to subscribe to. Meat Loaf or Meatball, holy shit y'all've got me laughing my ass off!!
Editing to add that I've freeloaded long enough with hours and hours of the free content. You'll have a new Patreon supporter in a few minutes.
Thanks guys from a Texas headbanger.
Metal Church, "Smoove & Fly" ahahhahha I fking love you guys.
Infinite love and gratitude form Colorado!
I am 27 y.o because power metal i have found Metal church, now my power metal playlist have a Church!
