I think I like the new song better than the first, but the album might still take a bit of getting used to.
One thing I'm not fond of is that band photo blabber used.

Yeah it's a far call from their hey day and I want to like it but I'm just not sure how that is going to go yet. Even the cover is not great.

I really don't think the band itself is as good as when Howe fronted back in the day.

I'll probably end up getting the album but it's definitely going to be one I preview before buying.

Ex- Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman?
From what I've seen some only list 12 tracks, Marty lists 14 on his bandcamp page. Hyperdoom and Sigmata Addiction are both live and recorded at the same gig as the rest of the disc.
Edit: that is suppose to be a bandcamp link to the page not a friggen song/album link. However skip through the tracks and you can hear tracks 13 and 14

Honestly man I just don't know exactly what it is. But the songs just seem wimpy to me. These first two have not hit me like the first two they released from the last album. And I felt those were a bit wimpy, they aren't very heavy and they aren't very dark. The production feels lifeless. I'm sure part of it is that this band is the old Ronnie band which to me is a second tier band.
They are not as good as the original band...or they just don't play like it. The solos are short and a bit basic, the drums while better than the last album are still not where they should be for a band with the kind of history this one has. All Metal Church's peers from back in the day like flotsam, Testament and Overkill have kicked it up a notch. Metal Church has not. I feel like Mike deserves a better band than this. At the least better production. but that probably won't happen since Kurdt is producing or co producing. I think when you're that close you can sort of tend to be blinded by the excitement of making a new album and being with the guys.
They'll get my money as long as Howe is in the band, but I have the feeling I'll always be thinking they could sound better and more powerful. I think if they did an album with Sneap it would be the best one with Howe ever.
Mike is carrying this band. In my opinion.
