No way, on the 13th METAL CHURCH album, which will be released in May 2023 and will be titled "Congregation Of Annihilation", the band sounds as fresh and tight as ever.

 

Kurdt Vanderhoof says of the album, "This new album starts a new chapter in the legacy of Metal Church. I really love this album. It is on one hand a new approach for us, but also a return to the beginnings of Metal Church as part of the New American Thrash Metal movement. This record has some of the most aggressive songs we've ever recorded. I hope the fans will like it as much as we do."
