Perhaps the finest Metal Church release, Blessing in Disguise offers some of the best material in the group's long career. New vocalist Mike Howe joined up with the band for the recording of this 1989 Elektra release, replacing the departed David Wayne and bringing a burst of energy that the group used to create some of the best American underground metal of the decade. Metal producer extraordinaire Terry Date (White Zombie, Def Tones) dials up some fiery guitar and drum sounds adding an awesome sonic element to the group's fine arrangements and ultra-heavy riffing. Standout cuts include the massive and cathartic "Anthem to the Estranged" and "The Spell that Can't be Broken." Both cuts (as well as the rest of this release) feature excellent guitar work and an uncompromising allegiance to all things heavy that Metal Church continually gained respect for throughout the Seattle band's career. ~ Vincent Jeffries

 David Wayne was gone !!!
The first album without David Wayne in vocals. A good album but Wayne was the best, recently died in a car accident. Rest in peace Wayne, you were the best vocal and the soul of Metal Church !!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The "new" Metal Church's strong debut
This album is a bit of a transition for Metal Church, as they have a new singer (who happens to sound like Daffy Duck; listen to Fake Healer) and a new guitarist. Still, the band have never sounded better, topping The Dark and maybe even their eponymous debut. Best production yet, and the riffs and writing are excellent, and Mike Howe still sounds great despite his hilarious Daffy Duck tendencies. Highlights include Badlands, Fake Healer, and the epic Anthem To The Estranged. Highly recommended to any fan of classic metal or thrash.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No underrated
The band that could've been bigger than Metallica. why this band wasn't huge is beyond me. Mike Howe is one of the best singers in metal. Any fan of old Metallica,Overkill,Judas Priest should enjoy this disc.

Much like the English punk movement before it, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal invaded hundreds of American garages in the early '80s and launched countless bands across the nation. It is interesting to note, however, that while in major cities with thriving punk rock this phenomenon manifested itself in the form of thrash metal (for example, L.A.'s Metallica, New York's Anthrax), in secondary capitals, up-and-coming bands generally boasted a more mainstream ...

Metal Church's excellent debut had impressed critics and fans alike with its ferocious blend of classic metal and thrash. But by the time they released its follow-up, 1986's The Dark, the band seemed to be struggling with their direction and wrestling with internal problems. The fact that they were collectively one of the most unattractive bands ever (even by heavy metal standards) didn't help matters either, especially in image-conscious America, so it was no surprise when the band's appeal remained firmly confined to the metal underground. Which is too bad, since The Dark contained some of the group's best material, including the brutal intensity of "Start the Fire" and "Method to Your Madness," as well as what was probably their best-known song, the astoundingly heavy epic "Watch the Children Play." Extensive touring with Elektra labelmates Metallica had also motivated the band to develop their thrashier inclinations, resulting in vicious moshers like "Ton of Bricks" and "Over My Dead Body." ...

This fascinating release comprises live recordings made at the end of 1956, when Miles accepted an offer to tour Europe with a formation called the "Birdland All Stars", which also included Lester Young and the Modern Jazz Quartet, along with European musicians such as pianist Rene Urtreger, bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Christian Garros. We have here the one and only existing evidence of Miles playing with Lester Young and with the MJQ. It also presents a rare occasion to find Miles playing as the sole horn in a quartet format. As a complement, we offer the complete 1955 Newport Jazz ...
