Description

                            Progressive-Metal          Spacey-Metal                

This is a rare private Christian heavy metal LP released in 1984 on the IHS label.  The LP is the classic album Final Warning by the underground band Messiah.

This LP was sealed.   I just opened it the other day.   Cover is still in shrink-wrap.

In the mid to late 70's, the lead vocalist, Charles Gugel, played in bands similar to Kiss and Alice Cooper.   Then he formed Messiah !   Some people thought Messiah was blasphemous but others considered them to be prophets from heaven.  Charles Gugel was even shot in Waco, Texas by someone who called him Lucifer.

Charles wanted to reach kids with the truth about the Beast - 666.  Lucifer is like an octopus, reaching his tentacles into all facets of our lives.

The songs on the album are:

Who's To Blame

Outta Control

Where Are You

The Choice

Heavenly Metal

Mistaken Identity

Keep Searching

Lucifer

Final Warning

Great cover artwork !!   (  I heard that the artist died recently )

NOTE:  Someone on ebay has been selling CD's of this LP ( they even state the band was from Carolina.  The band was from Michigan ! )   To my knowledge, the band has never approved any CD release.

READ :   Please do not email me asking if I have Messiah's EP "Going Insane."  I do not.  I did have a copy a few years ago but foolishly I traded it ( along with other rare LP's ) to a guy on ebay named Spin...    I lost about $2,000.00 in that trade.

Can You Help?   I'm looking for Christian bands that played progressive-rock music,  especially between the years 1975 to 1985.  If you were a musician in such a band, or if you recall any Christian progressive-rock bands, drop me an email at tinmancafe@aol.com

NOTE :  Please bid the best you can.  I need the cash.  I was taking care of my mom with Alzheimer's for over 2 years.  Now I have financial and health problems.
