35 Years Ago: METAL CHURCH release The Dark

METAL CHURCH released their second LP, The Dark, on this day in 1986 through Elektra.

[On the album sleeve] We're standing in front of a place in Seattle. O.K., Seattle, the city, it goes in a circle, right, and right in the middle of it there's a lake in the one end of the city and on the edge of this lake is this park called Gasworks Park and this is an old fuel refinery place about the early 1900's. It's all closed down, it's all rusted. It's like decomposed and shit & that's what's behind us.
