Hanging in the Balance

Hanging in the Balance is the fifth album by the American heavy metal band Metal Church, released in 1993 through Blackheart (US and Japan) and SPV/Steamhammer (Europe). This was Metal Church's last album before their three-year break up from 1995 to 1998, and the last to feature vocalist Mike Howe for 21 years until his return to the band in 2015. It is also their last studio album with longtime guitarist Craig Wells and drummer Kirk Arrington (until his return on 2004's The Weight of the World).
