KURDT VANDERHOOF of METAL CHURCH Talks New Album: 'It's Thrasher Than We've Ever Done Before'

KURDT VANDERHOOF of METAL CHURCH on New Album “Congregation of Annihilation”: ‘Our Songs Must Have Aggressive Riffs, Powerful Hooks, and Vocals with Melody, Otherwise I Can't Do It’
Metal Church will release its 13th studio album, “Congregation of Annihilation”, via Rat Pak Records, on May 26th. This is the follow-up to their 2018 album “Damned If You Do” and features Marc Lopes on vocals following the passing of Mike Howe. Metal Church continues with their 30-year tradition of combining the heavy and aggressive sound of thrash metal while injecting a good dose of melody and hooks, which is evident on their latest singles, "Pick A God and Prey" and "Making Monsters." The band is rounded off with Kurdt Vanderhoof [guitars], Stet Howland [drums], Rick Van Zandt [guitars], and Steve Unger [Bass].

The album features nine tracks infused with intelligent lyrical content, thundering guitar riffs, and Marc's aggressive soaring vocals. “Congregation of Annihilation” furthers the band's sonic evolution to the next level and is guaranteed to enthrall metal music fans worldwide. From the first guitar riff of album opener "Another Judgement Day" through the driving outro of album closer "All That We Destroy," it is clear Metal Church is back and better than ever. "Congregation of Annihilation," "Children of the Lie," and "These Violent Thrills" showcase the sonically charged songwriting that made the early Metal Church albums such fan favorites.
