Messiah – Underground – Compact Disc

Messiah – Underground is a album by the Swiss thrash metal band Messiah, which was released in 1994. The album stands as a testament to the band’s commitment to delivering an unrelenting and aggressive form of music that bridges the realms of thrash and death metal.

One of those hopelessly un-commercial heavy metal outfits whose ultimate influence far exceeds their actual career-span success, Switzerland’s Messiah enjoyed only temporary success particularly in Europe’s Eastern Block before settling into their eventual cult status.

Throughout Underground, Messiah maintains their signature intensity and raw energy. The album’s musical landscape is characterized by pummeling guitar riffs, rapid-fire drumming, and guttural vocals that align with the brutal ethos of both thrash and death metal. The lyrics often delve into dark and controversial themes, touching on issues of societal critique and existential introspection.

Formed in 1984 by vocalist/bassist R.K. “Tschosi” Wilhelm Kuhne), guitarist R.B. “Brogi” Remo Broggi and drummer R.H. “Jazzi” Heer, Messiah can be compared to similar early European thrash outfits like Hellhammer and Kreator, in that they inadvertently helped advance the development of death and black metal while simply trying to mosh away.

As the title suggests, Underground is a window into a realm where metal music often thrives – a space of counterculture and subversion. Messiah’s sound on this album exemplifies the fury and ferocity that attracted fans of extreme metal. While the band might not have reached the mainstream echelons, their dedication to their craft and their place in the metal underground was significant.

In the world of extreme music, Underground contributes to the ongoing conversation about pushing the boundaries of sonic aggression and maintaining the authenticity of the genre. It’s an album that speaks to the fans who appreciate the uncompromising spirit of thrash and death metal and seek the cathartic release that this kind of music provides.
