METAL CHURCH Returns With New Lineup Including DAVID ELLEFSON And KEN MARY; Band Shares New Single And Music Video “F.A.F.O”
"... West Coast heavy metal veterans, Metal Church, return with a revitalized lineup and a hard-hitting new single that underscores the sound that has driven their four-decade legacy. The new formation features founding guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof alongside longtime guitarist Rick Van Zandt, joined by bass icon David Ellefson, powerhouse drummer Ken Mary, and dynamic new vocalist Brian Allen....
...Kurdt Vanderhoof explains:
After 45 years, the fact that we have new music coming in 2025 feels like a miracle. There was a time when I honestly didn’t think Metal Church would continue, but we’re back—and this lineup is firing on all cylinders. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a new single on the way; that alone makes this moment incredibly special. ‘F.A.F.O.’ is an aggressive thrasher, and I think the fans are really going to dig it. We certainly do—otherwise it wouldn’t be Metal Church.
Metal Church plan to tour extensively in 2026 and some festival dates have already been announced with more to come....Stream / download the new single “F.A.F.O” here...."
