US metal veterans Metal Church are proud to announce that they will release their 12th full length studio album, Damned If You Do, through Nuclear Blast Records on December 7th, 2018 (Rat Pak Records in America, King Records in Japan). This release is the follow-up to their successful 2016 album XI, which saw the return of legendary frontman Mike Howe. More album details and comments, regarding this forthcoming effort, can be found below.

Guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof comments: "I feel this album is a very powerful statement to what Metal Church has always been about. A tough and aggressive old-school metal album while maintaining a level of musicality and melodic sensibilities."

Speaking of the new album, drummer Stet Howland states: "From the minute we started tracking this new CD, I had the feeling that it was going to be something special. I knew that I was going to do my best to deliver a top drum performance, not only because of the high standard set by past Metal Church drummers, but also because this is my first CD release after being sick. I'm beyond happy with all aspects of this CD, great songs, great performances, great production, just an overall great CD. I love it!"

Vocalist Mike Howe adds: "I'm very excited about the new release. It all came together way better than I even imagined. It's a great feeling to work really hard on a musical project pouring your heart into it and hoping it comes out as something you can be proud of in the end. I have been listening to it every day and loving it. I hope our fans do as well!"
