Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing on flame colored audiophile vinyl. Metal Church’s fourth album is often cited as their best. Breaking through in the mid- eighties within a blossoming thrash metal scene, these guys from Seattle stuck to their guns while other bands were polishing their sound to meet popular demand. The Human Factor (1991) excels in chugging riffs, melodic breaks, pulsing beats and furious vocals – a true thrash classic. The lyrics stand out in their substance: singer Mike Howe tackles political and social subjects on ‘Date with Poverty’, ‘Flee From Reality’ and ‘The Final Word’.
