This one stings.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike as he was getting ready to return to the band back in 2015 and he was one of the most gracious guys, super down-to-earth, and really excited about the future of the band.
As far as the band goes, I’ve been a fan since day one- Metal Church hailed from Seattle and I’ve seen them perform 7, maybe 8 times?
Mike’s voice was easily one of the most recognizable, and powerful in metal and he will be truly missed.
We’ll pay tribute to him and the band in this Friday’s Forge.
RIP
