The human factor came out when I was getting into metal and I wasn't that into it. I never checked out their other stuff. This video was really cool. Got me to start from the beginning and work my way forward. Such a good band, I wish I did it years ago

The Mother North VHS tape had a huge role in making this record so popular back then. Blood, fire, the naked lady dancing... If ND was released today, it would be just another release. The internet killed the BM mystique completely.

Fantastic review as always

According to Nocturno Culto, he had absolutely nothing to do with the songwriting, all Satyr. Top 5 bm album for me.

Guts and Wormface are the only albums that have stuck this year for me.

Great talk, fellows. Nemesis Divina, on many many days is the greatest black metal album on planet earth for me.

I literally just learned the riff to mother north. sad I missed this live stream, diving in now!!

My man, you have introduced me to alot of great bands . And once again, I will be checking these guys out too.

Great show. I'd love to see one on the new Pentagram album.

Got this one in the mail yesterday, and it's really, really good ! Thanks for the review.

Great review Simon. Thanks.

Nice to see Phrenelith getting some attention. Danish (not Dutch 😉) death metal at it's best! 🤘 Great review of a great album, Simon. 👍

I've been looking forward to this. I'm even more hyped now!

Looking forward to this release. 🤘🤘

Really only dig the first two albums and the live album! Total US metal mastery! Was hoping one of you guys would bust out the Metal Church neck brace

Thanks for watching everybody!

Waynes Metal Church album is realy good. It has the same wibe as the first two Metal Church albums.

I’m 21 am I a younger viewer I’m not sure

I grew up in the 80s where we really didn't classify things like we do today so I had no problems picking up the album soon as I saw it me and my friends could listen to Van Halen one minute then Slayer the next it was guitar driven music then I was there mostly

This was a great show! Very underrated band.

BD from Skaldr here. Thanks for the kind words, Marty! Looking forward to sinking my teeth into our labelmates' records.

My first exposure to Metal Church was in 1987 when i bought the debut on a friends recommendation. It became one of my favorite metal debuts of the 80's. Great to see Darcy on here. 🤘 My top 5 - Metal Church Blessing In Disguise The Dark Damned If You Do The Human Factor

Think this album sounds like Mordant Rhed “Eat 😻for Satan”

Torment In Fire RULES!

Masterpeace is actually a real good album.

Fun fact re: the art for Hanging in the Balance: everyone credited on Metal Archives with contributing to the art (artist, art direction etc) does not have any other art credits! Mike Howe said in interviews that the art was the final straw for him not wanting to do the band anymore.

Amazing record!

Metal Church one of those bands i've always been aware of but never checked out so this has been a good educational video for knowing what to start with if i find anything in the used cd bins!

Now you know you gotta bring those 2 back for a Voivod ranking ❤

Great show! Thank you. This was absolutely the best time for pure heavy metal and Metal Church was my top band. The ticket Jürgen shows from the tour with Saxon and Toranaga was one of the three best pure metal tours of all time. Saw 4 shows on that tour. Brilliant Metal Church and Toranaga. And unbelievable powerfull Saxon. After their AOR phase they were full on metal again. Talked to Mike Howe and he was a fine, thoughtfull guy. The lineup Howe, Arrington, Wells, Marshall and Erickson was perfect. Ranking: 1. The human factor 2. Hanging in the balance 3. Blessing in disguise 4. Metal Church 5. The dark Sorry that I can't rank the rest but I really think that style of metal lost it's fascination after that. Savatage from Sirens to Streets. Running Wild from Gates to purgatory to Port royal. King Diamond from Melissa to Conspiracy. Candlemass from Nightfall to Tales of creation or Vicious Rumours from Soldiers of the night to Welcome to the ball. What a time. I still buy new hardrock, AOR or thrash albums. Traditional heavy metal not so much. Saw the Monroe lineup and the last Howe tour live and it was both good and enjoyable but the brilliance and groove of the earlier days was missing.

Fuck me up

Who does Jürgen say replaced Celtic Frost at 38:32 on that bill? The band that sounds like Keepers Helloween. Can’t make it out.

Greetings from Germany! Got the album one day before release and it runs and runs and runs! This is the album I`ve waited for! Beeing fan since release of "Torment.." and "Forward.." is the best Trash album of all time! "Volume 6" gives me "Torment", "Forward.." and "Soldiers.." vibes. I agree total with the punk vibes: All in all: This album is the unltimate straight forward Old School Trash Killer! Album of (the young) year? YES

The album was released in 84 and re-released on Elektra in 85

The best band ever come out of Wa and FU nirvana lol

Too bad that because living in Finland I can't watch these live, but amazing content. These episodes are pure gold for me. Thank you for putting up the show and all the guests. I follow their channels as well. Cheers from Finland!

Metal Church: Half Killer, Half Filler

Great memories of Metal Church as a kid growing up in Seattle.

First two with David Wayne were masterpieces, nothing good after that

The band Blood from Germany is similar to this. Especially their Christbait album

Never heard of 'em, glad you enjoy the new one and that they didn't lose the plot despite the long hiatus

1. Taking Over 2. Horrorscope 3. Killbox 13 4. Bloodletting 5. Wings of War 6. Feel the Fire 7. Years of Decay 8. I Hear Black 9. Necroshine 10. The Electric Age 11. Under the Influence 12. WFO 13. Scorched I've been a Kill fan from the very beginning, since before the first EP came out. The disrespect for Bloodletting is maddening. One of their very best albums. Has their best song, Death Comes Out to Play along with several other top tier Kill tracks. Killbox is even better. Banger after banger on that one. Elimination is the one staple of their live set that I can't stand. I really hate that song. Years of Decay is not a bad album by any means, but it's so unbelievably overrated.

Funny you mentioned Blasphemy, Ben. I saw both bands in the same year (I think 1993) and Naked Whipper blew Blasphemy away! I bought N.W.´s self titled EP when it came out. Mainman Alex Schulze was also in Blood and Nyctophobic... Very cool review.

hopefully we dont have to wait 30 years or Dominus goes to jail again(lol) for the next release

I got into the album in 1988 already, I grew up with that record. Question: Are you sure everbody listened to the same mix of "Strappado"? There´s a rough mix, the 1987 mix and a 2001 re-mix. Just asking... Their "Nokturnal Carnage" demo from 1984 is pure Punk and the 2nd album "Not dead yet" is a tamer pure Thrash record. Oh boy, you should ask a professional before talking about such a classic, hahaha...

They recorded 4 more songs during the session for this record. I like the versions with those tracks

Killer band love em !!! I bought what I thought was their 2nd album until I played it an realized real quick that it was not !!! Threw that Mark Slaughter tape out the window at 50 mph . Lol

Hold the phone...new Naked Whipper? That wasn't on my 2025 bingo card.

HM-2 sound before Swedish bands Slaughter rules !!!!
