MESSIAH

Debut album from 1986 by Swiss MESSIAH, one of the pioneering bands of European Thrash/ Death Metal. Released during the formative years of the continent's extreme Metal scene, this first full-length presented a remarkably forward-thinking approach, blending the aggression of Thrash Metal with early elements that would soon evolve into Death Metal.

"Hymn to Abramelin" features razor-sharp riffs, frequent tempo changes, dark atmospheres and impressive musicianship, already revealing the band's distinctive identity. A true classic of 1980s European extreme Metal and an essential release for understanding the transition from Thrash Metal to Death Metal.

Recommended for fans of: CELTIC FROST, CORONER, DEATHROW, PROTECTOR, PESTILENCE. [Slipcase]
