Rare original Chainsaw Murder Records 1987 press on blue vinyl.

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. ‘Extreme Cold Weather’, was the title of the second album (a title suitable for a Norwegian Black Metal record). After enjoing the title track, you’ll get some great goose bumps. This song is the soundtrack for the end of the world. It’s paced in mid-tempo and it convinces with its fair and beautiful, melancholic and gripping guitar parts, getting more dramatically with the time, as comparison think of a mix of old Paradise Lost and Manilla Roads ‘Dreams Of Eschaton’. Generally, one can say that Messiah got more extreme with this record in 1987 compared with ‘Hymn To Abramelin’. The fast parts were faster, the lower parts were more threateningly and also the vocals had more brutality, too. This 2002 remastered version includes 13 bonus tracks. Instead of spending your money on the next unnecessary Morbid Angel copy band or the tenth black metal side-project, please invest your money in this fantastic trip back to the roots of all evil
