Metal Church julkaisee “Classic Live”-albumin huhtikuussa. Levy sisältää nauhoituksia yhtyeen viime vuoden “XI”-kiertueelta sekä uuden studionauhoituksen klassikosta “Fake Healer”, jossa mukana on myös Queensrÿchen laulaja Todd LaTorre. Vinyyliversiosta löytyy lisäksi vuoden 2015 uudelleentaltiointi ”Badlands” kappaleesta. Metal Church nähtiin Suomessa viimeksi Porispere-festareilla ja keikkailee ensi kesäkuussa Sweden Rockissa.
Kitaristi Kurdt Vanderhoof:
This album not only commemorates the reunion between Mike and the band, but it also pays tribute to some of the more popular songs of that era. It’s really cool to see so many old fans and new fans of all ages enjoying these classics as we perform them live, so it only made sense to release this.
Laulaja Mike Howe:
It’s an honor to be back and it makes me very happy to see that almost 3 decades later, fans are still enjoying these songs! The idea came from the owner of our label Rat Pak Records (Joe). It was his idea to record this as a duet with Todd. It’s an amazing version and I think fans will be very surprised at how good it sounds!
Todd LaTorre:
Having been a fan of Metal Church since my early teens, never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that the great Mike Howe would re-join the band! Getting the opportunity to record a duet to the track Fake Healer was beyond amazing!
