Bio

Shoot the Messiah is a Dutch blackened death metal band that has unleashed itself as a potent and fearless entity within the metal scene. Over the years, the band has built a reputation for their relentless sound and raw emotional expressions.

The band quickly gained prominence for their unique fusion of unrestrained aggression, technical skills, and brutal vocals. Their debut album, “Kill all Gods,” shook the metal world to its core and established Shoot the Messiah as a serious player within the death/thrash genre.

The new work will combine blistering blackened death metal with classical orchestration.
