Metal Hall of Fame inductees Metal Church have released a music video for "Dead To Rights," the title track from their latest album. The video arrives just ahead of the veteran band's 16-date Metal Saint Tour, a co-headlining run with Armored Saint that will take both bands across the western United States and Canada.
The new visual offering gives fans a fresh look at material from Dead To Rights while building momentum for the imminent tour dates. The pairing of Metal Church with fellow metal veterans Armored Saint promises a powerful double bill for fans across the western tour circuit.
Metal Church emerged from the Pacific Northwest metal scene in the 1980s as part of the thrash and power metal movement that helped define heavy music for generations to come. The band's self-titled 1984 debut and subsequent releases like The Dark established them as influential figures in the evolution of American heavy metal, bridging the gap between traditional metal and the more aggressive thrash sound that was taking hold.
Throughout their career, Metal Church has maintained a reputation for powerful riffs, socially conscious lyrics, and uncompromising heaviness. Despite lineup changes and periods of inactivity, the band has consistently delivered music that honors the core values of heavy metal while pushing the genre forward.
Their induction into the Metal Hall of Fame recognizes Metal Church's enduring contribution to heavy music and their influence on countless bands that followed. From their early days helping to establish the Seattle metal scene to their continued relevance decades later, Metal Church has proven themselves as true legends of the genre.
The Metal Saint Tour represents another chapter in the band's long history of bringing authentic heavy metal to audiences across North America. For fans who have followed Metal Church through the years, the combination of new music, a fresh video, and the chance to see them live with Armored Saint offers a reminder of why these bands earned their place in metal history.
