November 8, 2006, 17 years ago
Seattle metal legends METAL CHURCH have uploaded some original demo recordings including the songs 'Hitman' (which originally ended up on their 1984 self-titled debut) and 'Deathwish' (both instrumental and with David Wayne's vocals), along with two other unnamed works from 1983. Says the band:
"We were recently contacted by an old friend of the band, Brian Nordlund, who went to school with Kirk (Arrington - drums) and Duke (Erickson - bass), and eventually Kurdt (Vanderhoof - guitar). His band practiced in the same building, and he did some live recordings during this time. One of them, the "Hitman" demo, has been available for download on this website for a few years, but it's a poor copy. Thanks to Brian, we now have the much better sounding original, as well as a few other gems.Here are the download links, and a note of explanation written by Brian himself. Big thanks to Brian for resurrecting a long-lost bit of Metal Church history!"
