Hanging in the Balance is the fifth album by the American heavy metal band Metal Church, released in 1993. This was Metal Church's last album before their three-year break up from 1995 to 1998, and the last to feature vocalist Mike Howe for 21 years until his return to the band in 2015.[4] 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).
