Generation Nothing
Generation Nothing is the tenth studio album by the American heavy metal band Metal Church, released on 22 October 2013 through Rat Pak Records. It followed the band's reunion in late 2012, which makes it the first record of that new chapter.
It also marks the end of an era for the vocal slot. This was the fourth and last album with Ronny Munroe at the microphone, so it works as a closing statement for his time in the band. For anyone following Metal Church from their 1984 debut through to the later records, it is a useful stepping stone between the earlier run of albums and the releases that came after it, starting with XI in 2016.
