Early History (1986s)
Metal Church originally formed as Shrapnel in 1981, with Mike Murphy on vocals, Kirk Arrington on drums,
Craig Wells and Kurdt Vanderhoof on guitars, and Duke Erickson on bass. Mike Murphy quit, however, citing
personal and creative differences. He was replaced by David Wayne.
Before releasing their self-titled debut album, Metal Church released a demo tape, called the Four Hymns.
This album contained the songs "Battalions," "Deathwish," "Gods of Wrath," and "The Brave." Though the demo
has been long out-of-print, the songs are freely available from the band's web site.[2]
In 1984, their self-titled debut album was released. The album included a cover of the Deep Purple song,
Highway Star.
By the time Metal Church released The Dark, they were touring with high-profile acts like Metallica.
In 1989, the band replaced Wayne with former Heretic singer Mike Howe, and released Blessing In Disguise.
Break-up and Solo careers (1990s)
Following the release of 1991's The Human Factor, Kurdt started working solo, and later with his new band,
"Hall Aflame", which released their debut album, Guaranteed Forever, through I.R.S. Records.
The band broke up in 1993 after the release of Hanging in the Balance. Kurdt and Kirk formed "Vanderhoof" and
released their self-titled debut album in 1997, and Wayne, formed "Reverend" in 1989.
Duke went on to have a son, Andrew.
Resurrection (1998-Present)
The founding members of Metal Church released the album Live in 1998. The band then started working on a new
studio album. Craig Wells departed from the band due to personal and creative differences. He was replaced by
John Marshall.
Masterpeace was released in 1999.
Vanderhoof released A Blur in Time in 2002, and Kurdt started working for new material for Metal Church's studio
album.
In 2003 David Wayne departed Metal Church again due to personal and creative differences. David Wayne formed a new
band called Wayne and an album titled Metal Church with former band mate Craig Wells.
In 2004, Kurdt and Kirk recruited Ronny Monroe, ex-Malice guitarist Jay Reynolds, and Steve Unger. The result was
the album Weight of the World.
In 2006, Kirk Arrington left the band due to health complications with diabetes. His replacement was Jeff Plate,
who previously worked with Savatage, Chris Caffery and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
On June 26th, 2006, Metal Church released their latest album, A Light In The Dark, which featured a re-recording
of "Watch the Children Pray", a tribute to David Wayne, who died in 2005.
