Metal Church Return With New Lineup, Premiere “F.A.F.O.” Video
Metal Church have returned with a new lineup consisting of 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). With this news, the band have also shared a new video for their new song “F.A.F.O.” You can check that out below:
Vanderhoof commented:
“After 45 years, the fact that we have new music coming in 2025 feels like a miracle. There was a time when I honestly didn’t think Metal Church would continue, but we’re back — and this lineup is firing on all cylinders. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a new single on the way; that alone makes this moment incredibly special. ‘F.A.F.O.’ is an aggressive thrasher, and I think the fans are really going to dig it. We certainly do — otherwise it wouldn’t be Metal Church.”
A new album and an extensive tour are being planned for 2026. Several dates have already been confirmed:
08/05 Josefov, CZE – Brutal Assault Festival
08/08 Kortrijik, BEL – Alcatraz Festival
08/09 Geiselwind, GER – Keep It True Festival -
Between The Buried And Me Premiere New Song “Overture”
Between The Buried And Me have premiered a new song titled “Overture.” The track is taken from the new deluxe edition of “The Blue Nowhere,” which was released today (November 21). That expanded effort also includes instrumental versions of all 10 album tracks.
Dan Briggs commented:
“‘Overture’ was initially written to lead the album, winding through musical themes from all of the songs in a way that referenced the direct part or the idea of it to make something new and that would flow right into ‘Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark.’ It starts by quoting the early guitar arpeggiation from the song ‘The Blue Nowhere’ on piano – which was fortuitous not knowing the song would actually become the title track of the album! In the studio, we decided it would be refreshing to slam right into ‘Things…” and tossed the song aside, and then when we were building the string/noise buildup at the end of ‘Beautifully Human,’ [producer] Jamie King actually sped up the entire ‘Overture’ track to be layered in for the crescendo before the piano and vocals coda for the album. Thankfully, InsideOutMusic also had the idea to have the track included at the end of the deluxe edition of the album – and the humor of the album ending on an overture is not lost on us! Everyone just dig in and stay jamming.”
