Messiah - demo 1986 (Bay Area thrash metal)

Messiah - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives (metal-archives.com)

So I heard one track from this and it sounds really promising.  They showed up with a song called "The Tempter" on this legendary "Eastern Front - Live at Ruthie's Inn" comp that also features early versions of Forbidden Evil, Vio-lence, DRI, Metal Church, Death Angel, etc.

I'm a total student of the Bay Area thrash movement and to find a good Bay Area thrash metal band that is also Christian is like finding gold for me.

Anyone have access to this demo or heard it?

Google has turned up nothing.

I remember  that Live At Ruthie's compilation, but honestly I forgot all about it until you mentioned it....I never had it, just knew about it back in the day.

This is getting reissued on CD soon and I will check all the lyrics to see if this is indeed a Christian release.

Here is the song "The Tempter" from the demo:

Awesome!  Thanks for stopping by Rich!

I have been waiting for your CD reissue for a long time and asked Russ Kent about it and he said it was coming.  This was several months ago.

I love your sound and would love to hear more music from you guys in any form ... new songs, old recordings, whatever!
