In the summer of 2014, the band suddenly found themselves in need of a new singer. As fate would have it, Kurdt was already in talks with Mike for another project that he was working on with Saxon drummer Nigel Glockler, so he decided to ask Mike to rejoin Metal Church. Mike agreed, but true to form, didn't want to make it official until he knew for sure that the integrity of the new material was there.
In Mike's own words: "I didn't want to come back to Metal Church just for nostalgia, it had to be for the right reasons, it had to be the best stuff we've ever written together or it just wouldn't be worth it to anyone, especially the fans."
Soon after, Kurdt and Mike began exchanging ideas and writing new material with the band. The end result sounds like "Classic Mike Howe era Metal Church, it's both heavy and melodic" says guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof and further states "Mike sounds the same as he did 20 years ago, this is going to be truly epic!!"
Drummer Jeff Plate comments: "Mike Howe is the ONLY singer for Metal Church. He has a reputation of complete honor and respect. We can now take Metal Church to the next level!"
The band is currently in the process of working on their new album, which will be released later this year via Rat Pak Records. Stay tuned for that!

Metal Church / The Dark was Metal Church's strongest moment. Blessing IN Duisguise was still very good , The HUman Factor a step down and Haning IN The Balnce a step down from HF and after HitB forget about MC

I forgot about Hanging in the Balance, that album definitely has it's moments like Losers in the Game, Conductor and Low to Overdrive. So I guess my favorite era is Blessing thru HITB, although admittedly Blessing was twice as good as the other two.
