Heavy metal titans METAL CHURCH have released a new single called ‘Killing Your Time’, from their upcoming new album “XI”, slated for release on March 25th via Nuclear Blast Records. Watch the brand-new lyric video for the track here:

“XI” was produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and co-produced by Chris “The Wizard” Collier. The band’s 11th studio release also marks the return of legendary vocalist and frontman Mike Howe. The new album is available for pre-order in various exclusive bundles here.

From the first guitar riff of album opener ‘Reset’ through the driving outro of album closer ‘Suffer Fools,’ it is clear METAL CHURCH are back and better than ever. ‘Needle and Suture’ and ‘Soul Eating Machine’ showcase the songwriting that made the early Mike Howe albums “The Human Factor,” “Blessing In Disguise” and “Hanging In The Balance” such fan favourites. The epic ‘Signal Path’ and ‘Sky Falls In’ clock in at over 7-minutes each and showcase the amazing musicianship that METAL CHURCH are known for on full display in 2016.
