“Conductor” proves to fit as many words into a four-minute song as possible. This song really showcases Howe’s vocal quality as compared to his previous work. “For No Reason” has the same basic make-up but has a very unique off-tempo chorus that sets this one apart. “Dead on the Vine” has a driving drum beat and an extended guitar solo but entwined within the chorus are small guitar solo-type sequences that sound slightly muddy. All four of these are super high-energy tracks.
‘From the Vault’ will be the band’s 13 th official release containing four new tracks, “Dead on the Vine”, “For No Reason”, “Conductor” and “Above the Madness”.
With Howe providing the lead role and main vocals, Metal Church has regained the sound they made their own as he sounds pretty much exactly the same as he did 25 years ago. With their upcoming release set to drop, Metal Church continues to prove that they have the rock ’n roll chops to deliver material that’s modern with a classic metal edge. Metal Church currently consists of Steve Unger on bass, Stet Howland on drums, Rick Van Zandt on guitar, Kurdt Vanderhoof on guitar and Mike Howe on vocals who rejoined the band in 2015 after an almost 25-year hiatus. Many line-up changes have disrupted their timeline but they seem to be stable for now, having had the same roster for the past two albums. Metal Church is one such band that has maintained a fairly consistent stream of output since their debut album in 1984. Throughout the historical timeline of heavy metal, the 1980s is and will always be a hallmark decade spawning countless artists, many of whom are still active today.
