MESSIAH - Extreme Cold Weather (White Vinyl + Poster) (LP)

The guys in Messiah were a bunch of genuinely insane maniacs,
Thrash/death maniacs of course. Formed in 1984, the band helped to
shape the sound of early thrash and death metal. "Extreme Cold Weather"
was Messiah's second album, released in 1987. It has developed into a
cult classic album by a band that was always both obscure and outstanding
compared to their contemporaries. Messiah played a very unique and very
extreme blend of early thrash/death: brutal and raw, unpolished, and never
out to copy anyone. The songs are as much in-your-face as they are well
thought out, again combining cutting thrash attacks, atmospheric melody
parts and Messiah's typical interludes and sound effects. "Extreme Cold
Weather" is definitely one of the most unique outputs one can find from that
time. With their second album, Messiah created a somewhat strange and
very sought-after cult-piece of mid-80's thrash/death metal.
