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.

Hymn to Abramelin
1986
§ Messiah §
The lyrics to Messiah's song "Hymn to Abramelin" are short, but powerful. The repetition of the phrase "Good people are bad musicians" is a commentary on the idea that being a good person does not necessarily mean that one is talented or skilled in a particular area, such as music. In fact, the implication is that those who are too focused on being good people may neglect other areas of their lives and fail to develop their skills or talents.
The title of the song, "Hymn to Abramelin," refers to an ancient magical text known as The Book of Abramelin. The book contains instructions for attaining spiritual enlightenment through the invocation of angels and other mystical practices. It is possible that the song is drawing a parallel between the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and the pursuit of musical skill, suggesting that both require a certain level of dedication and discipline.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hymn to Abramelin" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to touch on themes of personal development, discipline, and the pursuit of excellence in one's chosen pursuits.
Line by Line Meaning
Good people are bad musicians.
Despite being morally upright, some people lack the talent or skill to create great music.
My language is not understood by the fool.
Those who lack the ability to comprehend complex ideas will not understand the message conveyed through my lyrics.
My wisdom appears as stupidity to the ignorant.
People who are unaware of my knowledge and insight may view my words and actions as foolish or senseless.
Above the mediocre, below the divine.
My music exists in a space between ordinary and extraordinary, falling short of perfection but still standing out from the masses.
The seas have their storms, the heavens have their stars, and I have my Lord!
Just as nature has its powerful forces and celestial beauty, I find strength and inspiration in my faith in God.
Between the animal and the angel I walk in the presence of the Lord.
As a human being, I exist somewhere between base instincts and spiritual transcendence, but I strive to maintain a connection to my creator.

Great proto black metal from Switzerland
@Mrkluthy
1987 durch Zufall in einem Plattenladen die LP mit rotem Cover erwischt - sind auch nur 5.000 Stück von gepresst worden. Extrem, Kult und passt zu Schweizern wie H.R. Giger....
