Mike Howe’s death won’t make the other members of Metal Church give up. To the contrary, the American band has already found a new singer and its new album will come out in 2023. That’s what Kurdt Vanderhoof stated, in a Metal Rules interview. Let’s see what the guitarist said.
Asked how he processed Howe’s passing, Vanderhoof said: “To be honest, I really haven’t processed it. I can’t. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to feel that suicide is your only option. And because he was like my brother and to find out he was in such pain and it’s too late to try and help is just something I cannot get my head around.”
According to Kurdt, he and his Metal Church bandmates are “keeping a lid” on the identity of their new singer “for the time being.” However, he revealed: “We didn’t choose a Mike Howe clone or David Wayne clone. We decided to approach the future as a ‘new’ chapter in the band’s career. I think the fans will really dig it.”
