"The Dark" is the second opus from thrash legends Metal Church. Although this is an amazing album, it never really got the recognition it certainly deserved. Many fans of the band would cite their first album album simply titled "Metal Church" as this bands magnum opus but I believe that this is their best album. The riffs, the solos and those godly vocals are absolutely astounding. David Wayne was easily the best vocalist of this band and it's sad that he is not of this mortal world anymore. Anyway, onto reviewing the actual album.

"The Dark" contains both your slower paced, almost ballad like songs and some fast -paced songs that won't ever leave your head due to how catchy they are. "Ton Of Bricks", the albums opener falls in to the fast-paced category. From it's thrashy riff to it's great, catchy, sing-a-long chorus, this song truley is a thrash metal classic. Actually, I think it would be fair to say that every song on here is a thrash metal classic.

The song "Method To Your Madness" slows the pace down a bit but it still is a great song, although I feel it does drag on a bit too long. The next song "Watch The Children Pray" is probably the most famous Metal Church song. It's the longest and slowest song of the album but it contains one of Metal Church's best guitar solo's. Again, this song has a very catchy chorus that I'm sure the live crowds would eat up.

After "Watch The Children Pray", the album starts to get faster and thrashier. The song "Over My Dead Body" reminds you that you're listening to thrash metal albums again. Kurdt Vanderhoof's guitar work on this song is once again, astounding. Kurdt Vanderhoof is probably the most underrated guitarist in thrash metal history. Another one of the better songs from the album is "Psycho". It's easily one of the more agressive songs from the album. Once again, it's got awesome guitar work. The drum roll that comes in right before the chorus for the first time is very well-done and David Wayne shrieking "THE PYSCHO IS READY TO KILL!" just makes the song become an instant classic.

This is easily my favourite thrash metal album of all time. It's got some of the best lead guitar work on any album I have ever heard, the drum work is very cool and even the bass has some good moments. Oh, and David Wayne on the album just makes it a whole lot better, his thrash metal vocals are unmatched. The only thing I'm not too fond of is that some songs go on for a bit too long, like "Method To Your Madness" and "Line Of Death". Although they are good songs they could have benefited by being a minute shorter.
