Metal Church

The Final Sermon: Live in Japan 2019

£39.99

Released: 26th July 2024. Everything ends. Even in the legendary realms of heavy metal, where myths and legends intrude into everyday reality on a daily basis. Members and fans of American metal giants Metal Church became painfully aware of this when they lost their legendary singer and frontman Mike Howe in July 2021. From 1988 to 1994 and again from 2015, Howe was the frontman of one of America's most beloved and cherished metal institutions, recording groundbreaking and essential works such as 'Blessing in Disguise' and 'The Human Factor'. Mike Howe was an outstanding singer, a charismatic frontman and for many the voice of American heavy metal. On July 26, 2021, Howe died at the age of 55 at his home in Eureka, California. The world lost a unique voice and talent that day. His legacy will live on, of course, in his many friends, followers and fans, in his classic albums and in the memories of his bandmates. On the third anniversary of his tragic death, Reaper Entertainment will make its own contribution to the memorial altar of a true icon: a live album titled 'The Final Sermon', recorded during his last performances - on August 24 and 25, 2019 at Club Citta in Kawasaki, Japan.
