i really didnt care about the band nowadays,but well who knows, maybe theres a die-hard fan here in the forum :roll:

To all of our fans and friends...

We regretfully announce that Metal Church is calling it quits.

The performance at Rocklahoma will be our last show. We have had to cancel the shows scheduled for August and that, among other things, has led us to have to make this decision.

There has been far too much frustration and disappointment in trying to keep moving forward. The collapse of our record company, SPV, has made it next to impossible for us continue in any kind of professional manner due to lack of tour support. This decision was not made lightly.

We do have unfinished business in the studio, and with any luck we will have something that will be of interest to Metal Church fans in the near future.

We would like to thank all the fans that have stuck with Metal Church through all these years, the line-up changes and the ups and downs.

We can't tell you how much your support has meant to us, we appreciate each and every one of you.

It's been a great ride... thanks for being a part of it.

Metal Church

Never say die -mate

Hey Mexdefender od Steel,

Awful news mate. Life in a rock band is constant kick downs - but it is a drug impossible to walk away from. Take a break, get the studio stuff finished, then see how the land looks.

Keep on keeping on mate -

and keep it heavy metal!

Forgive my ignorance - I thought it was Max defenders band and I regard Mexdefender as a mate - and dont like to see a mate down - hence my response!!

Now that I know it is not his band - cool!!! (although sad for them - in which case my earlier comments still apply)

Keep on rockin Mex!!!

Can't say that I'm happy about it or anything, but it was about time. Metal Church had run their course.

I have to agree.

After "Blessing In Disguise" Metal Church went quickly down hill.
