Metal Church!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Ooo!

That single seems a little heavier than I'm familiar with, it sounds great though! Marc Lopes has a similar singing style to Mike Howe which seems sensible.

I shall definitely be getting it (May 26)

The singer sounds more like David Wayne to my ears, but you can hear a bit of Mike in there as well. Not a fan of the screaming at the end if every line, makes it sound a little generic. Musically very strong, expect nothing less from Kurt though. The guy is a genius with riffs and constructing songs.

Track #2 from the upcoming album has gone live.

This one is called Making Monsters

Thanks for posting that Charger - I get a strong "keeping the faith" vibe from it. You know, over the years I have always been happy that Metal Church kept plugging away at their craft. When they first hit the scene, I was hesitant to pick up their record because I thought the name was goofy and that they'd be another of the hundreds of low-rent bands trying to ride the metal wave of the time.

But I bought it, and loved the hell out of it. When a band is as good as Metal Church, they could have named themselves "The Sparkling Jack-Offs" and it wouldn't matter. Plus, I quickly came to accept their name and can't imagine calling them anything other than Metal Church.

"The Sparkling Jack-Offs"

Well now THAT is going to be rattling around in my head for a while...

[Jack the Stripper]

Looks like an Australian tour is going to be announced tomorrow 

[Jack the Stripper]

Yep

[Charger]

That's awesome Jack! I'm assuming you'll be going?

[Jack the Stripper]

Definitely going. Venue is very close to where I live too which is handy.

Wonder how much the VIP tickets are going to go for. Looks like Thursday morning they'll be available along with the normal tickets. I saw them in concert once - with Slayer - sometime in the mid-eighties. Was visiting a friend of mine who had just moved to a place outside of Seattle, Washington and they happened to be playing while I was there. I remember going to the venue (there were four of us) and I remember it rocked hard, but can't recall much else.

Tickets we $12.00. Which I thought was expensive because back home they averaged $8. lol

[Jack the Stripper]

I’d say VIP will be around $160 which is good value. I probably won’t do VIP. I previously had met Mike and Kurt after the show in 2019 for free. They both just casually came out about 30 minutes after the show to say hello about 6 fans that had hung around for a drink at the front bar. Didn’t have anything with me to get signed though as I didn’t know I was going to meet them dam it, but got a photo with each of them and had a good chat.

[Charger]

Very cool!

I was supposed to meet the guys on their 2020 tour, but ofcourse that tour never happened.

I hope they'd do a european tour, but that is very unlikely due to the insane costs here...pretty much every band is canceling their European tours now...

[Vyn]

That is cool Jack - and $160 would be a great price for that package.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I just realised the new album is out to buy... so I have bought it.

While I knew it was on the way, the release date had passed me bye!

[Charger]

I got my splatter vinyl already last week!



Still waiting for my signed cd though....
