METAL CHURCH Go "By The Numbers" With New Video By Larry Petro, News Monkey Tuesday, November 27, 2018 @ 11:18 AM
The West Coast metal veterans will release their latest studio album Damned If You Do via Rat Pak Records on December 7, 2018 and will also be available in Europe via Nuclear Blast and Japan via KING Records. From the haunting opener “Damned If You Do” to the final hard-edged track “The War Electric”, this new album is sure to resonate with METAL CHURCH fans from the band’s early years while garnering new ones. Songs like “By The Numbers”, “Guillotine” and “The Black Things” are sure to become instant favorites. The latest release is the follow up to their 2016 album XI, which saw the return of legendary frontman Mike Howe. Damned If You Do is a cross between the band’s iconic Blessing In Disguise and The Human Factor and is available in various formats and bundle configurations including a limited Blue, Black & white vinyl pressing with an alternate track sequence. There is also an Ultimate Fan Bundle that includes a personal “Thank-you” phone call from Mike Howe, exclusively available at: http://www.ratpakrecordsamerica.com/metal-church. The album is also available for pre-order via iTunes at: http://smarturl.it/metalchurchitunes and fans that pre-order digitally will receive the first track “Damned If You Do” instantly.
Damned If You Do also features new drummer Stet Howland (ex-WASP/Lita Ford). Stet first arrived after the departure of long-time drummer Jeff Plate, but soon after joining the band was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Miraculously his treatments for the aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma worked and he was able to begin recording the new album.
Speaking on the new single and video, Stet Howland comments: “From my first listen of the "Damned If You Do" demo, I was blown away. From Mike’s ‘hummm’ intro to Kurdt’s bad ass guitar riff to the infectious chorus, I was hooked!! If I were any more excited people would have to call me ‘shit legs’. Ha Ha Ha.”
