Messiah - "Christus Hypercubus"
Release Date: March 1st, 2024
Label: High Roller Records
Messiah has been around for awhile. Starting out in 1984 and continuing until a 1994 hiatus. They reformed in 2018 and re-released their
two albums from the 1980's as well as a new album "Fracmont" in 2020. Come this March their new album "Christus Hypercubus" will be released. This is surprisingly my first exposure to Messiah being the music whore that I am. After a few times through their newest album
I can say I am impressed. This album treads well between the genres of thrash and modern death metal with enough songwriting sensibilities
to make it accessible and catchy. Each song moves well between ideas that are interesting and fluid. The older I get the more I find myself returning to intelligible music for the pure enjoyment of its memorability. There is nothing wrong with trading chaos for the appealing hook sometimes. Even in the accompanying press release for this album it states "In the past it was pure chaos, nowadays it’s more structured and professional." I can tell much time was spent on this album. The finished product of "Christus Hypercubus" will appeal to fans of all modern metal where solid captivating music is desired.
