SHOTGUN MESSIAH
1991 - Second Coming.
way more Helter Skelter.

October 22, 1991 - 2026: 35 years of: Second Coming.

Scandinavian chaos.

During Sweden's 1991 deathmetal dominion, one band would still provide cool lipstick tricks. In unison with their extra-rockin' 1989 self-titled debut-LP, the chamber is always loaded ...hail SHOTGUN MESSIAH.

The message is clear, this assault is pure "Sexdrugsrockn'roll". Raunchy and relentless, they rip everythang with "Red Hot" and the Sunset Strip ravage of "Heartbreak Blvd". An arenarock full crunch captivate on "Trouble", the on-edge "I Wanna Know" and even electrifies the NEW YORK DOLLS's reprise in "Babylon".

Straight outta Bop City, with modern mutherfockin' attitude ...yet wrong timing for these bad-boys, as this indecency should've fitted better in 1988. The SHOTGUN MESSIAH Kingpins would sadly disintegrate during the alternative tidal-wave.

Their next and final recording would be created as a duo and shall be based on industrial-signatures and dirty metal guitars: 1993's Violent New Breed CD. Tim Skold would eventually join KMFDM, Marilyn Manson and later MONTIONLESS IN WHITE.
