Metal Church

Absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed every second of the show. Met the guys and they are so down to earth with the respect they have for there fans. It's a night I will never forget. Thank you metal church for a brilliant night. Hope to see you's back here again 🙏

First time seeing Metal Church and first time at the Crafthouse and everything was awesome. Great venue and the band did not disappoint. Been a fan since their debut album so really excited to see them live. Sound was very good, although I think they literally blew one of the speakers. Great to see them in such a personal setting as well, nice and close to the fans.

I’ve seen Metal Church many times over the years starting in 1987. They’ve never disappointed & this night was no exception! After the tragic loss of vocalist Mike Howe in 2021, founding member/guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof & company chose to soldier on with this year’s excellent LP , Congregation of Annihilation. New vocalist Marc Lopes combines the best of all previous Metal Church vocalists with his own unique touch. This was most evident when he was belting out Metal Church classics originally sung by the late David Wayne such as “Start The Fire”, “Beyond The Black” & the epic “Watch The Children Pray” The setlist also included a nod to the aforementioned Mike Howe era with faithful renditions of “Fake Healer” & “Badlands” from 1989’s Blessing In Disguise. For myself, the highlight of the evening was an explosive performance of one of my very favorite tracks from the eponymous debut, “Hitman” which I had never heard live before. This incredible night of metal mastery was capped off by two Metal Church classics “Beyond The Black” & “Metal Church” the song. Do not miss this tour if it comes to a venue near you. It’s a metal purity at its finest! 🔊🤘🏼

First band “Everything Destroying” was good. Second band was noise. Third band didn’t belong on a metal lineup, and Metal Church-was magnificent as always.

Thank you Metal Church for a killer sounding high fun energy show. I love how humble and interactive all of you guys are. What a highlight night of my life. I love my picture with you guys, so grateful and Rick loved watching you play guitar with your beautiful long hair flowing from your fan!🤩

The Mighty Metal Church put on an awesome show at The Ranch in Fort Myers! Always one of my favorite bands, I missed the opportunity to see them live until now. Their new singer Marc is great and does hommage to the late, great David Wayne while still having his own formideable style. The guys are all super cool and even stayed after the show to sign merchandise and talk to the fans. I highly recommend seeing this great band perform live. The venue was very good too.

Awesome show, never disappointed with Metal Church, and although Marc, the lead singer is new, he did not disappoint with a range comparable to previous Metal Church vocalists.

It is a nice venue, good place to see a show!! I had a Great Time, & Metal Church were Great!!!! I didn't expect the meet & Greet after the show, they were awesome, and a great way to end the night!!! 🤘

Great show. Marc Lopes you are da man. You do the old songs justice and Kurt , this is the best MC album since Blessing in Disguise.

Amazing show! Only my 5th time seeing this band since first seeing them open for Metallica in 1986. They were on point! New singer totally nailed the old songs and sounds very much like the late great David Wayne. 3 songs from the new album, 2 of them premiered at this show including the crushing title track "Congregation of Annihilation" 5 from the legendary self titled debut and 5 from the follow up "The Dark" Sound was perfect too.

Metal Church put on a great show at the Craft House, mixing tracks from their newest album with classic songs from their back catalog. After the show the band took the time to talk with fans and sign autographs. I have enjoyed their music since the late 1980’s, but this was my first time seeing them in concert, and they were well worth seeing.

Always a blast. I love how interactive and humble the band is with their fans. My second time seeing them. They sound just as good as studio quality.

Metal Church put on an amazing show, gretat mix of songs and a lot of energy. The fact that they stayed after the show to autograph everyone's stuff and to take pictures was an amazing bonus. They are extremely appreciative of their fans and you can tell they enjoy meeting their fans. I agree with the precious comment there were too many opening bands (4).

This band is firing on all cylinders. Excellent last 2 albums and a great show. So cool of the guys to meet the crowd after the show too.

Metal Church was outstanding, they had a little technical problems in the beginning but definitely made up for that in short order. Can't wait for them to come back around again! Only problem I had was the lack of merchandise, 1 tour shirt, 2 one sided shirts, a small poster and their new CD, that's all they had!!! I was expecting to buy more than just a tour shirt, very disappointing!

The sound for the singers was distorted and kind o horrible the music was descent, saw them again in Racine Rt 20 and sound was amazing, will see them again on Friday at the Arcadia will see how the sound is? Anyway they never disappoint seen them like 20 time!! And Love the band!

The Show Was Awesome. Metal Church Tore It Up. Thank You For Coming To Stateline Idaho. and Thanks To GM Cook Entertainment For Bringing Them Out and Cruisers Bar and Grill For Hosting Such An Awesome Night

Great show, those guys can still kill it 30 years later. When I was 16 I wore out their cassette, now I brought my 16 year old to the show and he loved it.

Crowded but accessible once they opened the upstairs balcony. Metal Church was absolutely mind blowing as always and Mike Howe was AMAZING! Wish they could play here once a month!

I have wanted to see these guys since the 80's so I'm glad I finally got to. They know how to bring it \m/
