Metal Church was formed when the thrash metal genre was still evolving. David Wayne's vocals on the self-titled album Metal Church and The Dark, resembled those of the growls used by European Black and Death Metal bands of the 1980s but in a very high-pitched tone. The lyrics from the album The Dark talk about death, assassination, and fears. Metal Church is still a working band; they are working with their third vocalist.[1]
