Tell us about the band?

Yeah, man.
We are a four piece metal band from the DC Capital area. I sing and play rhythm guitar & keys. Tim 'TNT' Tieff is the drummer and does our artwork. Our Bass player Roy 'R0yster' Richardson is our resident music historian - he probably knows it ALL. If he doesn't, then he doesn't let on. And last but not least is our outstanding Lead Guitarist Vlad Gurin who just moved here from Moldova (former USSR) last year.
We've been together one year this August, so we're still new. But we have a CD that we are very happy with.

Please feel free to ask any questions. We'll be happy to answer them. Thanks,

FCH

Are you the band that Steve Rowe (Mortification) mentioned in his latest update?

I'll check out your music in a week or so once my internet connection speeds up again. It's to slow right now to stream music online.

My internet is working properly again. Listening ot the streaming songs on your website now... and loving them!

Great classic metal sound. At times, the vocals sound a little like Bruce Dickinson, on Hell Is No Party.

Actually this was the first time i heard of you guys. I clicked on the link in Steve's update. Listened to your whole album streaming on your site and was blown away by the music and the straight forward lyrics. I just purchased the cd a few weeks ago. Nice job. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you all for your comments and blessings. We are working hard to reach the place that God wants for this CD before moving on to the next recording. We have songs with such titles as 'Power' and 'Rulemaker' that have been written, the music written and they've even been played live. But we're again waiting on His direction before recording.
Thank you all again for your thoughts & prayers!!

And a Merry Christmas to Messenger and their families.

Man, I can think of at least a half dozen band by this name so you will need to find something more original but the material is good from what I hear.

By the way, Frank has stepped out of playing rhythm guitar to allow Vlad more room to shine. So we now play mostly as a 3 - pc. with a singer (Led Zep, Rush, Sabbath, etc.). There are a few songs that need that 2nd guitar, rhythm and then twin leads, but this has brought out so much of the musicianship of the band - especially for live shows.

Rock for the ROCK Christ Jesus!!

Looking forward to the follow up album. I was VERY impressed with the full length debut, check my review from May 25, 09:

Check out their website and Myspace for sound bytes.

The first thing that hits me when I took this out for a spin was the great mixing. The vocals are out-front with UP-front lyrics.

Album artwork conjures up thoughts of greats from the past.

This classic metal could also have been from 20 years in the past.

*Five*stars*from*me*

Dude!
We are excited to now have your thoughts published on our 'Reviews' page of our site MessengerMetal.com

God bless and Merry Messenger Christmas!!

Cool.

I am in the presence of greatness on your review page.

It comforts my soul to see so many still into the 'old school'.

The new release will be on my must get list for 2010. Let us know when it is about to be released.

Rock on, the old school way!

OSD!

Thanks so much. We are presently mixing a live recording due late Spring 2010 for release with 4 previously unreleased songs!

We look forward to everyone's input.

Wow! That's great. Looking forward hearing the live recording.
