Our Take

Ah, Metal Church, the unsung heroes of 80s metal, finally getting their due with this comprehensive box set, The Elektra Years 1984-1989. This collection brings together the band's first three albums, showcasing their raw power and undeniable talent. From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wave of blistering riffs and soaring vocals that will transport you straight back to the heyday of metal. Tracks like "Gods of Wrath" and "Hitman" are absolute classics, showcasing the band's ability to mix speed with melody in a way that few others could. But it's not just the music that shines on this collection – the remastered sound is absolutely top-notch, giving these old gems a new lease on life. Each guitar solo shreds with precision, each drum fill hits with thunderous impact, and the vocals cut through the mix like a machete through butter. Listening to The Elektra Years 1984-1989 is like taking a time machine back to the golden age of metal, when hair was big, spandex was tight, and every song sounded like it was tailor-made for headbanging. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and get ready to rock out like it's 1984 all over again. Metal Church may not have been the biggest band of their time, but damn if they weren't one of the best.

About the artist

Metal Church

Metal Church are the epitome of the badass, no-nonsense, leather-clad metal bands of the '80s. Hailing from the rainy Seattle, they emerged onto the scene in 1980, bringing their unique blend of thrash and power metal to the masses. With their thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, and killer guitar solos, Metal Church quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the genre. Led by the dynamic frontman Mike Howe, Metal Church have always been a force to be reckoned with. The band's early albums, including their self-titled debut and the classic "The Dark," are renowned for their intensity and energy. Tracks like "Beyond the Black" and "Watch the Children Pray" are still staples of their live shows, and never fail to get the crowd headbanging and throwing horns in the air. Despite some line-up changes over the years, Metal Church have remained a powerhouse in the metal scene. Their latest album, "Damned If You Do," is proof that they still have the fire and passion that made them legends in the first place. Tracks like "By the Numbers" and "Revolution Underway" showcase the band's trademark mix of melody and aggression, with Howe's vocals shining as brightly as ever. So if you're a fan of classic metal with a modern twist, look no further than Metal Church. These guys are true metal warriors, and their music is guaranteed to get your blood pumping and your adrenaline flowing. Catch them live if you can - you won't be disappointed!
