DAVID WAYNE Died Due To Injuries Sustained In Head-On Automobile Accident - May 10, 2005
The following press release has been posted at the David Wayne's Metal Church web site:

"On behalf of David Wayne's 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 metalheads 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 CHURCH's 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 David's family and friends, we would ask that cards, letters, and flowers be sent to the below address. Additionally, donations are being accepted to help David's family with funeral expenses.

SAD, my concoleances to all his loved ones!
 
yeah, real shame, as much as I like later Metal Church albums you can't beat those first 2. Just listening to Battalions - that's a band playing for the hell of it and enjoying it too. They should have been way bigger. Some of the stuff on The Dark pisses all over other bands of the times.
 
I cannot belive it, I can't express how much that BLOWS.

I was listening to The Dark only last week, I always forget how ace that album is.

What is going on at the momment, I swear everytime I look at the web another metal legend has passed away.

I'm going to listen to "Start the Fire" the second I get home from work.
