Trivia / Metal Church

• Creator Backlash: The band has gone on record as hating the album cover for Hanging in the Balance, saying that it was pushed on them by the label.
  • The fact that Kurt Vanderhoof likes to nickname the album Masterpeace as "Disasterpeace" speaks volumes as to what they think of that record. None of the songs from it have been played live since its release.
• Money, Dear Boy: The subject of songs such as Human Factor (about record companies that sideline talent for prospects of making big money) and Fake Healer (a greedy doctor whose priority is making money, not healing patients).
• What Could Have Been: Lars Ulrich unsuccessfully auditioned as a drummer for Metal Church in 1980. We know where he ended up.
