again a very sad day in metal history..... 
our condolences to Dave's family and friends!
R.I.P. DAVID WAYNE 1958-2005
Official Press Release David Waynes Metal Church (May 10):
On behalf of David Waynes Metal Church, we would like to express our deepest sorrow in the passing of our Metal Brother, David Wayne. This is not only a loss for us as a band and his family, but also millions of Metal Heads throughout the world. David died due to complications from injuries he sustained in a head-on automobile accident several months ago.
David Wayne was the patented scratchy vocals of several Metal Church albums and was in the process of returning to the metal scene with his new band lineup. His goal was to return to the sounds of Metal Churchs albums released in 1984 and 1986. We will always remember the burning words and vocals in Gods of Wrath, Watch the Children Pray, and Start the Fire. David and his current band had just completed several new songs and were ready to head to the recording studio after their European tour dates this summer.
Along with Davids family and friends, we would ask that cards, letters, and flowers be sent to the below address. Additionally, donations are being accepted to help Davids family with funeral expenses.
