Metal Church issue Reset lyric video

Metal Church have released a lyric video for their track Reset.

It’s the opening song on the band’s upcoming 11th album XI, due for release on March 25. They previously issued a teaser for the album, featuring a snippet of Reset.

The album marks the band’s first record with singer Mike Howe since 1993’s Hanging In The Balance.

Guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof said: “Mike’s voice sounds the same as it did two decades ago when we were writing The Human Factor – and the band is about as tight as you can possibly get.”

Metal Church are currently on tour across the US. They’ll return to Europe in May in support of the album.
