Messiah (Che) - Extreme Cold Weather (1987)

I always knew these guys were a bit strange and not at all serious, but this album cover still to this day confuses the hell out of me.  I knew the first album was a bit strange, but I thought it was maybe just them being Swiss chocolate eating freaks.  It wasn't until I finally had a copy of this album in my hands, looking at that polar bear, then reading the lyrics.  It was then when I read the lyrics to Extreme Cold Weather that I knew these guys were seriously just joking around and taking the piss. How can you not be with lyrics like these:

I hope I won't freeze my toes off,

cause then I will have to cough.

There is an icicle hanging from my bum,

and there lies my neighbour's frozen mum.

I rest my case.  Good album though.

Messiah (Che) - Hymn To Abramelin (1986)

Messiah (Che) - Hymn To Abramelin (1986)

This is a bit of a weird one, but then again when you look at bands like Celtic Frost, it's not all that uncommon for those Swiss cunts to be a little bit weird at times.  Fierce ripping black/death thrash that'll tear your ballbag clean off.  More than half of the songs have weird titles,  Why do they have a song about Space Invaders, who writes about The Dentist and what does it mean by Messiah "(Extra Version)"?  To top it off, there are some strange spoken word intros to some of the tracks, "Good people, bad musicians", what?

They pressed 7000 copies of this album, the first 2000 being in a black print and the second print of 5000 copies being in a red print, which I have here.  This was the first release by Chainsaw Murder (CM 001) and the label would only put out 4 other releases after this, the next Messiah album, two more MLPs by Swiss bands Excruciation and Calhoun Conquer, and the legendary Pentagram Chile 7".  Not too bad for only 5 releases.

Tracklisting:

1. Hymn To Abramelin
2. Messiah (Extra Version)
3. Anarchus
4. Space Invaders
5. Thrashing Madness
6. Future Aggressor
7. Empire Of The Damned
8. Total Maniac
9. The Dentist

Hellhammer (Che) - Apocalyptic Raids (1984)

Hellhammer (Che) - Apocalyptic Raids (1984)

This EP should need no introduction.  Hellhammer, who would later go on to become Celtic Frost, give us a big chunk of primitive proto-death metal here.  This certainly had a bleak sound to it like nothing else at the time did.  Pure Venom worship.

I don't have too much time at the moment to rip and upload everything I would like to, which explains the huge gaps in between posts.  So to make up for it I am going to be uploading a bunch of 7"/12" singles and EPs so I can at least get something up here.

Tracklisting:

1. The Third Of The Storms (Evoked Damnation)
2. Massacra
3. Triumph Of Death
4. Horus/Aggressor
