Metal Anarchy

Metal Church, whose current lineup features guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, guitarist Rick Van Zandt, bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), drummer Ken Mary (Flotsam And Jetsam), and singer Brian Allen (ex-Vicious Rumors), have revealed the details for their new album “Dead To Rights.” The effort is set to be released on April 10 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.

“Dead To Rights” Track Listing:

01. “Brainwash Game”
02. “F.A.F.O.”
03. “Dead To Rights”
04. “Deep Cover Shakedown”
05. “Feet To The Fire”
06. “The Show”
07. “Heaven Knows (Slip Away)”
08. “No Memory”

Vanderhoof commented:

“This new album is very special to me for one reason: the band was over, and I honestly didn’t see it being resurrected. But somehow, it brought itself back to life — again! I’m incredibly proud of these new songs; they hit hard. Brian Allen brings the classic Metal Church sound to the vocals, and adding a rhythm section with musicians of the caliber of Dave Ellefson and Ken Mary makes this a force to be reckoned with. If you enjoy classic Metal Church, you’re going to love this record.”
