Vanderhoof

Vanderhoof was formed by Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof during his initial hiatus from that band. Like Vanderhoof's former non-Church project (Hall Aflame, who released an album in the early nineties), Vanderhoof the band is decidedly less power metal than Metal Church ever was, instead opting for a more mainstream hard rock sound. Though the band is quite polished and professional, it's hard to tell how Metal Church fans would react to it, since it's really a different style. Two albums were released in 1997 and 2002, but Kurdt has put this band to bed to continue with Metal Church.
