Messiah - Fracmont



Now this is an interesting one. I always love reviewing bands who are coming back with their first new material in 25 years, the way Messiah are. This is a group whose unique brand of blackened thrash turned heads as early as 1984 on the legendary Chainsaw Murder Records. Now the band is on High Roller and unleashing some top tier heaviness that is going to leave you scraping your jaw off the floor. Messiah are one of a kind and their newest offering Fracmont is an absolute monster of an album.

The band does an amazing job here of fusing modern bombast with more straight thrash and old school black metal ideas. The title track for instance definitely captures the magic of the early blackened thrash scene with its heavier than thou riffs and blasting drums. Meanwhile, the band isn't afraid to embrace the dramatic. Touches like closing out the album with strains of Ave Maria might seem a little corny, but in the context of Fracmont they make a surprising amount of sense. So while yes, the band could certainly have trimmed that fat a bit on this record they also do a great job of stunning the listener with new twists and turns.

High Roller has definitely unearthed a special one here. The band has brought together such a rich multitude of ideas that you can't help but to smile at what has been delivered. Messiah have not only gone above and beyond they have found a way to bring their legacy into the 21st century in a way few of their peers ever will. Messiah have done it, executed at an impressive level and leave us curious for more. Fracmont may not be album of the year material, but it does prove the old dogs can learn some new tricks.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

  2. Thank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com
