Hanging in the Balance is the fifth album by American heavy metal band Metal Church, released in 1993.
It was Metal Church's last album before their two-year break up from 1996 to 1998, and the last to feature
vocalist Mike Howe for more than two decades until his return to the band in 2015.
It is also their last studio album with longtime guitarist Craig Wells and drummer Kirk Arrington
(until his return on 2004's The Weight of the World).
In an interview in 2016 with NYS Music, Mike Howe said the following about the album cover, and the situation back then:
"So, I dropped off the radar because the record business really disappointed me, things were changing, grunge was coming up and
we were getting ignored. We were not businessmen, we were musicians and like a lot of (other) bands we just wanted to write
songs and play metal. You really have to be business minded or you’ll just get tramped on and left behind, I think that was our major problem.
One small example, the cover of “Hanging In The Balance” was just a huge embarrassment to me and I hated it, it was forced on (us) and
that was kind of the last straw. So I took a clean break and stepped away in 1994, with a proud feeling of what we had done so far,
something I could keep in my back pocket for the rest of my life, and I wanted to step away before it got ugly."
