"To all of our fans and friends... We regretfully announce that Metal Church iscalling it quits. The performance at Rocklahoma will be our last show.We have had to cancel the shows scheduled for August and that, amongother things, has led us to have to make this decision. There has beenfar too much frustration and disappointment in trying to keep movingforward. The collapse of our record company, SPV, has made it next toimpossible for us continue in any kind of professional manner due tolack of tour support. This decision was not made lightly. We do haveunfinished business in the studio, and with any luck we will havesomething that will be of interest to Metal Church fans in the nearfuture. We would like to thank all the fans that have stuck with MetalChurch through all these years, the line-up changes and the ups anddowns. We can't tell you how much your support has meant to us, weappreciate each and every one of you. It's been a great ride."
