MIDNIGHT MESSIAH - CD THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

Popis - THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL:
Midnight Messiah have a direct link to the glory days of classic rock. When NWOBHM stalwarts Elixir called time on their second decade of activity, playing shows and festivals throughout Europe, USA and the UK (Including Hammerfest and Hard Rock Hell) and releasing three studio albums during that period, vocalist Paul Taylor and guitarist Phil Denton decided to continue working together. As Elixir’s main songwriters, the duo had forged a creative and exciting partnership. Their acclaimed debut album ‘The Son of Odin’ was voted one of the ‘Top 20 Power Metal Albums of All Time’ by UK’s Terrorizer magazine alongside such greats as Judas Priest and Helloween, and ‘Classic Album of the Month’ in Sweden Rock magazine . The pair had written a complete new album before assembling a worthy new band featuring the astonishingly talented Dave Strange on lead guitar, Dusty Miller on bass and Darren Lee on drums. Called Midnight Messiah, this new band's debut album continues the legacy of both Elixir itself and real classic rock. Respected Rock journalist/writer John Tucker wrote in his review of 'The Root Of All Evil' 'There’s so much to get animated about – this is an album that’s all meat and no fat' and then went on to say 'Elixir fans will no doubt be expecting a handful of old songs in Midnight Messiah’s live set, but I’d be happy just to see them plug and play ‘The Root Of All Evil’ from start to finish: it really is that good'.
