Their direction is clear-cut and straightforward, the ingredients have been selected with great care, and even sleeve artwork, band name and song title don’t allow any other conclusion: Messiah’s Kiss specialise in traditional heavy metal in a very contemporary sonic outfit. Dragonheart, the new album by the band from Dinslaken, Germany, presents 11 new tracks on the interface of double bass rhythms, straightforward guitar riffs and impressive vocals. ”We grew up with the great metal bands of the Eighties, particularly Judas Priest and Iron Maiden from England or Accept from Germany,” drummer Eckhard Ostra explains. ”Our music doesn’t even begin to pick up on short-lived trends or colourless fads, we do what we love and what we definitely do best: classic heavy metal.”
