Metalheads are campaigning to have their tribal sounds recognised as a religion. But surely there are more suitable types of music – like psychedelic trance "Metal's our religion," proclaimed loincloth-wearing beefcakes Manowar in their 1987 song Holy War, presumably recorded in breaks between oiling their abs. But nobody ever imagined it could be literally true, until now. Metal Hammer...

W.A.S.P. is a band I have only had a passing affiliation with over the years. I never listened to them much in their heyday. I am not sure why this was, they certainly have a sound and swagger that is right up my alley. I did have a copy of The Headless Children that I was quite fond of, but that is as far as it went. Years later, 2005 as a matter of fact, I saw them headline a bill of metal acts that...
My fondness for Metal Church begins and ends with the early David Wayne period, the very first two albums, before Mike Howe stepped in and Wayne formed Reverend with the rest of Howe's previous band Heretic . Oh, cruel irony. With Wayne's mad hermit vocals at the helm, and a deal with Elektra records (alongside Metallica , no less), the potential was enormous for this band. Alas, they sputtered out...
Breaking Point may have been the sole full-length from California's Heretic , but it was a kick ass album without a single filler track. It was released in 1988, the greatest year in metal, and thus buried under a whole ton of masterpiece efforts, but I was quite disappointed to find that the band would split after this, with Mike Howe going on to front Metal Church and the rest of the band, in an...

Metal Injection In the past, when it came to churches and metal, the only other word that belonged was burnings! But recently, there has been a new tide. Bands have been coming out that were dubbed “Christian metal” spreading a positive message with br00tal vox. Well, one Columbian dude decided to take it a step further by creating the first heavy metal church. There is a traditional prayer...
