»XI« was produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and co-produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier.

From the first guitar riff of album opener 'Reset' through the driving outro of album closer 'Suffer Fools,' it is clear METAL CHURCH are back and better than ever. 'Needle and Suture' and 'Soul Eating Machine' showcase the songwriting that made the early Mike Howe albums »The Human Factor,« »Blessing In Disguise« and »Hanging In The Balance« such fan favourites. The epic 'Signal Path' and 'Sky Falls In' clock in at over 7 minutes each and showcase the amazing musicianship that METAL CHURCH are known for, which is on full display in 2016.
