4.0 out of 5 stars You can buy into this Church..., July 10, 2000

and no one will laugh. Some of the originators of the Bay Area sound and more importantly a band that comes out of that now household name toddlin' town of Seattle, Metal Church are back in original line up sans Craig Wells. Smoking and chugging along without skipping a metallic beat, everyone's favorite pastors prove they can still blast away at the metal masses with skill and juicy riffery. Dave Wayne's vocal performance is now more solid and rooted. Served up right in a picky metalhead era. Nice to see Dave's absence didn't cause him to lose track with the times. Sure Kurdt Vanderhoof is the main driving force and influence, as he has been throughout their career, this guy is an unsung genius. Last few albums have been lyrical as well as musical gemstones and it doesn't stop here! Opening freight train "Sleeps With Thunder", "Falldown" and mid-album monsters "Kiss For The Dead" and "Faster Than Life" are classics, "Sand Kings" is a cold steel genius of an album ender. Glad to see K.V. is back in the lineup after a solo stint. One shortcoming, bad choice in cover tunes with the yawner Aerosmith drip-tune "Toys in The Attic", which really isn't a good song no matter who serves it up.

Metal Church comes through with their latest disc, Masterpeace. Lots of energy, riffs, etc. It quickly quenched my appetite for this underrated band but I want more. David Wayne's vocals aren't the same as they were on the first two albums. He kind of sounds like Blitz Ellsworth from Overkill now, but he still sounds great. Buy it!!

This cd starts out good until David Wayne opens his mouth. Dave's singing brings me back to the 80's and hair bands.Turn down the tremble man. What happend to Mike Howe? Don't get me wrong it's nice that the original band is back, but Howe fit the puzzle better. No where near as good as "Blessing" & "Human Factor". Did they lose the sophistication that I feel these two albums had. It's not a bad album just lacking. Guys get Howe back! ---still you must buy this to support the bands that haven't sold out from thoughs that have Metalica(we promise the new album will sound like are old stuff NOTE:they say this every time they come out with an new album), Megadeath
