Shrapnel played four events to warm up, including a frat party at Pacific Lutheran University, after which the other guitar player quit, having had a religious experience, unwilling to cover The Number of The Beast by Iron Maiden.

When Mike Murphy left the band, they recruited David Wayne for vocal duties.  By 1983, Shrapnel had renamed itself to Vanderhoof's original band name, Metal Church.
