Diagnosis

I'm down with that.

In a mood, playing slow, heavy, dark thrash. 🤘

Well, a better day. Waking up to a functioning HMR. 🤘💀🤘

Yeah, that happens to a lot of bands, but Metal Church, in particular, has also had quite a few deaths.

I first discovered Metal Church back in 2009. By then, the band had already gone through several lineup changes. I liked their latest album, but I agree that a band that changes its members too often loses its essence—it would be better to just change the name.

Hi everyone!🤘🤘🤘

Sorry about the outage folks, the Toaster has been under a lot of strain lately, pressure of moving to a new home I fear.

Regarding frozen Hærken here, they are still active as a band supposedly but no albums since 2014!

Backbone of the band I meant to say

Name your iteration after one of their songs and carry on

Granted, the band was named after Vanderhoof's apartment nickname, so you say he was the back ground of the band. But I agree, in almost every case, if a band is made up completely of new members, they are just profiting by the legacy.

He came back to the Ronnie Munro era with all new second rate members. The return of Mike helped, and the music was better, but it still lacked the greatness of Metal Church. This new singer is decent, and the material is still OK. But I feel as though this current rendition should change it's name. I think it kind of hurting the Metal Church legacy. Your thoughts...

With Metal Church I just can't these days. They were unequivocally one of my absolute favorite bands growing up. While David Wayne's departure angered me, Mike Howe grew on me. And rather quickly. But then, pretty much all of the original members left at the same time, mostly for health reasons. And IMO, Duke Eriksson (bass) and Kirk Arrington (drums) were the backbone of the band and made them what they were. Kurt Vanderhoof, never really wanted to be in MC.

I came to metal through the old Metallica gate.

Music is great but I personally get falsetto fatigue very easily.
