A highly promising demo from this Canadian quintet, who in many ways sound like a cross between Iron Maiden and Warlock with the Doro Pesch-inspired vocals of Lynn Renaud shining through.<\/p>\n

Messiah Force was formed in May 1984 out of the ashes of two bands from Qu\u00e9bec – Frozen and Exode. The current line-up reads: Lynn Renaud (vocals), Jean Tremblay (lead guitar \/ backing vocals), Bastien Deschenes (guitar), Eric Parise (bass \/ backing vocals) and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Boucher (drums).<\/p>\n

The demo contains seven powerful tracks all delivered with pace and aggression, with my particular faves being ‘White Night’ (reminding me a little of Pretty Maids’ ‘Victim Of Power’), ‘Watchout’ and the excellent ‘The Third One’, which sounds very much like early Warlock at their best\u2026 raunchy speed metal.<\/p>\n

I can definitely see a bright future for Messiah Force. Let’s hope record companies spot that potential too.<\/p>\n
