Messiah

Swiss death/thrash band led by guitarist and founder Remo Broggi, noted for the 1992 concept album Rotten Perish and the stylistically adventurous 1994 record Underground.

Reviews on DeBaser identify Remo Broggi as the band's founder and leader. Rotten Perish (1992) is described as an intense conceptual death-metal record; Underground (1994) is presented as a final, experimental album after which Broggi retired to private life (per the reviews).

Two DeBaser reviews cover Messiah's early-90s output, praising 1992's Rotten Perish as an intense conceptual death-metal high point and treating 1994's Underground as a risk-taking but uneven swansong. Remo Broggi is consistently identified as the band's leader and driving force. The material oscillates between classic death/thrash aggression and experimental/prog/doom passages.

For:Fans of 1990s death/thrash metal, listeners of technical and progressive extreme metal.
