Blessing in Disguise is an album by American heavy metal band Metal Church, released as a vinyl LP in the summer of 1989; the CD followed in 1990.
It was the band's final release on the Elektra label. Much to the dismay of some Metal Church fans, this was the first album not to feature the vocals of David Wayne, due to his departure to form the band Reverend. This release featured new vocalist Mike Howe (ex-Heretic). Kurdt Vanderhoof had produced Heretics final album "Breaking Point" previously. It seems that is how Mike Howe came to the attention of Metal Church. Thus also began a strange type of relationship between the 2 bands. The musicians of this new project were made up of the remaining members of Heretic.
