Heavy/thrash metal legends Metal Church have announced a new lineup, with founding guitarist Kurdt Vandehoof joined by longtime guitarist Rick Van Zandt and three new members: bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), drummer Ken Mary (Flotsam And Jetsam, Fifth Angel, ex-Alice Cooper) and vocalist Brian Allen (ex-Vicious Rumors). This new lineup has already recorded a new album together, which is set for release in 2026, and its first single "F.A.F.O." is now available for streaming with an official music video.

Kurdt Vanderhoof says: "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."

Me too. His vocals on the new song remind me of David Wayne a lot.
