Messiah (UK band):
Formed in 1988 during London's acid house craze by college friends Ali Ghani and Mark Davies, Messiah's brand of rave techno encompasses the aggression and volume of punk and the diva vocals of house music. When Ghani and Davies met at an Iggy Pop concert, the two decided to purchase some electronic equipment and make music for fun; when musical chemistry became evident, they began to get into the English techno and rave scene. After the release of 1993's Temple of Dreams, their first full-length U.S. album, 21st Century Jesus, was released one year later. Messiah Meets Progenitor followed in 1998 and saw a fairly dramatic shift in style. The introduction of guitars into the mix pushed their sound more towards that of Jesus Jones, Pop Will Eat Itself or later Prodigy.
Messiah (Swiss metal band):
Messiah is a death/thrash metal band from Switzerland. The band is best known for their first two full-length albums, Hymn to Abramelin and Extreme Cold Weather. Messiah's debut album, Hymn to Abramelin, was released in 1986 through Chainsaw Murder Records. Their sophomore LP, titled Extreme Cold Weather, came out in 1987 and was re-issued on CD three years later by Nuclear Blast. The release also contained the band's debut album. The band then managed to sign to a German major metal label, Noise Records, which released their next album, Choir of Horrors, in 1991. Messiah released two more albums, Rotten Perish and Underground, through Noise, but disbanded in the mid-1990's.
After a long break Messiah reunited, first to perform a few secret shows in 2017, but then decided to write new material in 2018, and released a new album in September 2020. Since 2018 also, they are back on stage and play live again. Their newest album Christus Hypercubus is set to be released on March 1, 2024.
Extreme Cold Weather
Messiah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Extreme cold weather is reigning outside,
the wind is blowing and the frost does bite.
I hope I won't freeze my toes off,
cause then I will have to cough
an icycle's hanging from my bum,
and there lies my neighbours frozen mum.
The thermometer's below zero,
don't try to be a hero
by running to scool
Now you're frozen dead you fool.
Extreme cold weather is freezing my blood,
I'd always have summer if I'd be god.
Now is april and you have thawed,
you won't step out again into the cold.
It's sunny, funny and really warm,
and my body feels like reborn.
In this song, Messiah talks about the extreme cold weather outside. He points out that his long hair provides enough protection against the cold and that he doesn't need a hat to wear. Despite this, he paints a picture of how brutal and life-threatening the cold can be. The wind is blowing and the frost is biting, and he is worried that he might freeze his toes off. He humorously describes an "icycle" hanging from his "bum" and his frozen neighbor's "mum" lying outside.
Messiah warns against trying to be a hero in such weather. Running to school or anywhere outside could be dangerous and result in death. He emphasizes the point that extreme cold weather is not to be taken lightly. Towards the end of the song, Messiah contrasts the cold weather with sunny and warm weather. He equates warm weather to being reborn since the body feels renewed and re-energized.
Overall, the song is a cautionary message about the dangers of extreme cold weather. Messiah uses humor and sarcasm to communicate how unbearable and deadly cold weather can be.
