Heavy metal titans METAL CHURCH are set to release their new album “XI” on March 25th, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, the band have released the lyric video for the brand new track ‘Reset’, check it out below:

“XI” was produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and co-produced by Chris “The Wizard” Collier and 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 favorites. Musical opuses ‘Signal Path’ and ‘Sky Falls In’ clock in at over 7-minutes each and put the musicianship that METAL CHURCH was known for on full display in 2016.

The track listing for “XI” is:

01. Reset
02. Killing Your Time
03. No Tomorrow
04. Signal Path
05. Sky Falls In
06. Needle & Suture
07. Shadow
08. Blow Your Mind
09. Soul Eating Machine
10. It Waits
11. Suffer Fools
12. Fan The Fire (Exclusive Bonus Track)
