Metal Church's The Dark returns on 180-gram black vinyl as a Holland import, bringing back the Pacific Northwest band's 1986 second album and one of the great American heavy metal records of its decade.
Metal Church emerged in the mid-1980s alongside the first wave of thrash, but they never fit neatly into one box. Guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof's songs combined the speed and aggression of the Bay Area scene with the galloping melodies of classic heavy metal, and singer David Wayne's ferocious, high-pitched shriek gave everything a wild, unhinged edge. After their self-titled debut caught attention, The Dark was their first new album for Elektra, and it captured them at full strength.
"Ton of Bricks" kicks things off with pure speed and menace, and "Start the Fire" follows with a blazing riff and a chorus made for fists in the air. "Watch the Children Pray" slows the pace, a brooding, dramatic song that earned the band a video on MTV and remains one of their signatures, while "Method to My Madness" lets Wayne snarl his way through a tale of unravelling sanity.
For collectors of 1980s metal, The Dark is a key piece of the puzzle. Heavy, catchy and unapologetically intense, it still sounds like a band breaking out of the underground.
