Metal Church Reveals Details Of New Album "XI"

Pacific Northwest metal titans Metal Church have announced the track listing and unveiled the cover for their latest album "XI," slated for release on March 25th via Rat Pak Records. The band’s 11th studio release marks the return of legendary vocalist and frontman Mike Howe. The new album is available for pre-order in various exclusive bundles at this location.

A limited number of the deluxe international versions are available on the website, which features a bonus disc of 8 extra songs. Other bundles include guitar picks, stickers, a special edition behind the scenes photo book, t-shirts and even a limited number of personal phone calls from Mike Howe himself. The album is also available for pre-order on Amazon, Google Play and via iTunes over here. Fans that order the digital version will receive an instant download of "Killing Your Time" from the new album. "XI" was produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and co-produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier.

From the first guitar riff of album opener "Reset" through the driving outro of album closer "Suffer Fools," it is clear Metal Church is back and better than ever. "Needle and Suture" and "Soul Eating Machine" showcase the songwriting that made the early Mike Howe albums "The Human Factor," "Blessing In Disguise" and "Hanging In The Balance" such fan favorites. Musical opuses "Signal Path" and "Sky Falls In" clock in at over 7-minutes each and put the musicianship that Metal Church was known for on full display in 2016.

Metal Church recently released an official music video for the debut single from "XI" - "No Tomorrow" - which can be viewed over at this location. The video was filmed in the Satsop Nuclear Facility, an abandoned nuclear power plant in Elma, Washington.
