Mike Howe is an American heavy metal singer from Taylor, Michigan. From 1988 until 1994 Howe was the lead singer for the heavy metal band Metal Church, replacing David Wayne. After Howe joined Metal Church the riffing became heavier and the subject matter deeper. The band's lyrics tackled political and social issues of the day with the releases of Blessing in Disguise and The Human Factor. Howe recorded three albums with Metal Church before the group split up in 1994.[1]
It has been mentioned in an interview with Kurdt Vanderhoof that Mike Howe has now retired and is currently living in Tennessee with his family.[2]
