Messiah
A high-energy, nostalgic thrash metal artist.
Written by Matthias Mader: Switzerland has always been fertile breeding ground for Extreme Metal. MESSIAH were formed in 1984 and issued two truly ground breaking records on Chainsaw Murder Records, »Hymn To Abramelin« in 1986 and »Extreme Cold Weather« a year later. In the early 1990s Messiah signed to Noise Records and issued three more full-length albums: »Choir Of Horrors« (1991), »Rotten Perish« (1992) and »Underground« (1994). Messiah decided to reform in 2018 with the original lineup from their Noise Records albums, resulting in the EP »Fatal Grotesque Symbols - Darken Univers« (2020) and the album »Fracmont« (2020). The new album »Christus Hypercubus« will be released on 1 March 2024. MESSIAH: Marcus Seebach on vocals, Steve Karrer on drums, Patrick Hersche on bass, V.O. Pulver & band founder R.B. Brögi on guitars.
