In support of their latest album, Dead To Rights, Metal Church has unveiled a string of live dates under the Dead To Rights Tour banner.
The trek will feature stops in Mexico, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Belgium, and more before wrapping up in Michigan.
Joining them on this extensive run are Armored Saint, Testament, Black Label Society, and Death Angel, providing fans with a heavy dose of classic metal entertainment.
With the release of Dead To Rights via Rat Pak Records last year, Metal Church continues to showcase their signature sound on tracks like "Brainwash Game," "F.A.F.O.," and "My Wrath." The album was produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and mixed/mastered by Zeuss at Planet Z, boasting a powerful blend of aggressive tone shaping and live performance functionality.
As the band tours extensively this year, fans can catch them on stage with their current arsenal of Jackson basses.

After signing with Elektra Records, the group released two landmark albums — their self-titled debut Metal Church and its follow-up The Dark — both of which remain essential listening in the heavy metal canon.
Metal Church plan to tour extensively this year on the Dead To Rights Tour 2026.
