That song forced me to replay it some 3-4 times back to back. Infectious is an understatement. Lead guitarist Vladimir Gurin just BRINGS IT here, melodic but so much cranking energy that it just pumps you up!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Blind Sided (Listening Version)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/humCLlFf4VI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the uninitiated, Messenger hail from Washington D.C. and play a traditional old school style heavy metal\/hard rock.&nbsp; Now some will just turn their nose up at that description but I\u2019m telling you this album drives, cranks, rocks, kicks arse, FLAT OUT!!&nbsp; The song writing this time out is a bit more direct and with the improved production, they\u2019ve just captured lighting in a bottle this time out. Without falling into tropes and tired worn out clich\u00e9\u2019s musically or lyrically Messenger delivers a monster album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Album opener <em><strong>Time Machine<\/strong><\/em> sets the stage for the rest with its heavy opening riff and melodic chorus passages.&nbsp; The layered guitars drive this track and bring some much energy, I think I\u2019m gonna start head banging right now!!! BAM!!!&nbsp; Album closer <strong><em>Fear No Evil<\/em><\/strong> is another pile driving track which plows along full tilt, but doesn\u2019t forget its melodic underpinnings. Drummer Mike Zahorchak delivers the goods throughout, punchy tight and rhythmic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Time Machine (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uz0I1HonK2Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Last Supper<\/em><\/strong> starts off with an acoustic guitar which leads you to think it might be a ballad and while one might call it one, I would argue it\u2019s a more melodic yet moody musical passage. Lots of atmosphere with some dramatic effect, when singing of the last meal Jesus ate with his disciples how can one not?&nbsp; <strong><em>Satan\u2019s Nightmare<\/em><\/strong> offers up another great riff with some fantastic playing from Vladimir. Lyrically it might come across a bit trite but nonetheless effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many solid songs here that to just break them all down I think would be a bit dull myself.&nbsp; Seriously; <strong><em>Messenger at Arms, Take Flight, Anchor,<\/em><\/strong> and <em><strong>July 5<\/strong><\/em> all scream of top shelf material.&nbsp; <strong><em>Crows and the Hawk<\/em><\/strong> is another solid tune with very timely subject matter lyrically albeit a little clunky in the chorus, a tad too \u201csing songy\u201d to these ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crows And The Hawk (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AW3I-UQ5lbg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would be remiss if I failed to mention the absolute BEST instrumental of 2020 &#8211; <strong><em>Trial and Triumph<\/em><\/strong>. It is not five minutes of guitar noodling but a melodic track which in a similar harkens back to the <strong>Scorpions<\/strong> <em>\u201cCoast to Coast.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp; A great riff with melodic passages that will force you to listen again and again, just MIND BLOWING! &nbsp;I admit enjoying instrumentals but this one is brilliant.&nbsp; <em>\u201cTransylvania\u201d<\/em> is another comparison to structure as far as the journey this song takes you on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Messenger\u2019s captain, founder, (current) bass player, vocalist and leader <a href=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/04\/catching-up-with-messenger-interview-video-d90\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frank Clifton Herring<\/a> delivers a fabulous performance throughout.&nbsp; His baritone vocal cuts through smoothly with subtlety and force. However on this album Rich Sandoval handles all the bass duties with driving force solid playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"July 5 [The Politician&#039;s Song] (Official Lyrics Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Kiy-O4lkg4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The production is crisp and full with plenty of punch.&nbsp; Every instrument has a place and isn\u2019t obscured with too much layering. Listening in DT 770 headphones I get to hear everything perfectly without favoritism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh and one more thing!!&nbsp; Lyrically Messenger is bold but tries to not just rehash the \u201ctypical\u201d Jesus per minute content many other bands have and continue to attempt. Adding a bit more depth and relevance to each song, it\u2019s uplifting without being cheesy or tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Without saying too much more Messenger\u2019s <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/messengermetal.com\/messenger-merch#physical-albums\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In To Win<\/a><\/em><\/strong> IS A BEAST!!!&nbsp; One of the best releases for 2020!!
