METAL CHURCH Announces “Generation Nothing” As New Album Title
Friday, 12th July 2013
Seattle metal legends METAL CHURCH have announced Generation Nothing as the title of their new album. The album will be released via guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof’s Body Of Work Recordings. The album was recorded at Vanderhoof’s English Channel studio in Washington. The band previously stated about the new effort: “This could be the best MC record of the METAL CHURCH MK3 era!! Woohooo!!”
Munroe said in a recent interview with Metal Assault that the new METAL CHURCH CD would contain material that is “very reminiscent of the old days with some stuff that’s very ‘now.'” He added: “There’s a bit of… I’m not going to say ‘prog’ because it’s not, but there’s a couple of elements in there that are a little bit progressive. For the most part, out of this batch of songs, they really sound more reminiscent of the early days than anything we’ve done before with this lineup. This excites me very much, and I think the fans are really going to dig it.”
Regarding the circumstances that led to METAL CHURCH’s breakup in 2009, Ronny said: “Well, in a nutshell, without going into a huge and long story here, it was certain aspects of things that had continued to happen to the band throughout its career. Not having the proper management and the proper people in place that were handling us. You know, we ended up taking some shows we shouldn’t have taken and that just led to where Kurdt was really getting fed up and then we all kind of got that way. Basically, we figured before we end up disbanding because of other reasons such as maybe starting to fight with one another or whatnot, we decided to go ahead and end it then. We all ended up friends and we wanted to keep it that way. So I won’t go into specifics, but we all know what the music industry is like now compared to what it was like back then. We just didn’t have the right people in our camp.”
