Please help us give a warm welcome Voodoo Endorsee & one of the creators of the early 80's Thrash Metal genre, Mr Craig Wells of Metal Church!
Metal Church is one of the favorite Thrash Metal bands on VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show”. Founded in 1980, Metal Church was formed in San Francisco, California & less than 1 year later relocated to Aberdeen, Washington briefly using the name "Shrapnel”. The band is credited as a formative influence on what we now know as the 80's Thrash Metal genre, which has influenced countless Modern Metal bands. Their eponymous first album "Metal Church" was released in 1984, just a few short months after Metallica's 1st album release "Kill'em All."
