SHOTGUN MESSIAH / ZINNY ZAN

ZINNY ZAN (Shotgun Messiah) – Lullabies For The Masses (2022)

Former Shotgun Messiah and Easy Action frontman ZINNY ZAN is back with a new band and an excellent and varied rock album. Following a few years and albums in a singer-songwriter style, Zinny Zan’s new album “Lullabies for the Masses” is a return to rock n’ roll. It is a grown-up and quite varied rock album.
We get an interesting mix of great songs on a solid LP by a man and his band that know what they want to deliver. There are straightforward and catchy high-energy melodic hard rock songs such as “Heartbreak City” – a highlight, with a killer Shotgun Messiah vibe – “Welcome to the Show” and “Let It Rock”.
We get more contemporary-sounding rock songs such as “Bombs Away”, “Nobody Gets Out of Here Alive” and “The One”, while “Heal the Pain” and “Goodbye to Yesterday” are acoustic ballads of the kind that the hair metal bands of the late ’80s had to include on their albums.
We even get an unexpected but terrific Depeche Mode cover, “It’s No Good” (yes, he pulls that off brilliantly). What a great album!..

REMASTER / SHOTGUN MESSIAH

SHOTGUN MESSIAH – Shotgun Messiah [Digitally Remastered] Out Of Print

Eighties hard rock fans know the name SHOTGUN MESSIAH very well. The Swedish combo delivered two awesome albums of hook-filled sleaze ’n’ roll with 1989’s self-titled LP Shotgun Messiah and 1991’s Second Coming.
Divebomb Records is the label that finally did it: they are presenting Deluxe Remastered reissues of both albums.
The original tapes have been remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios.
Shotgun Messiah may never have become a household name, but they garnered a ‘cult’ audience (count me in) and copies of their long-out-of-print CDs have become hard-to-find, often-pricey collectibles on the secondary market over the years.
These reissues mark the first time both Shotgun Messiah and Second Coming have been available at music retailers since the ‘90s. And of course remastered for the first time, only on physical format.

SHOTGUN MESSIAH – Second Coming [Digitally Remastered]

Divebomb Records has reissued & remastered for the first time two SHOTGUN MESSIAH essential albums (only avalilable in CD). Let’s go now with their second, the Melodic Hard Rock masterpiece “Second Coming“.
If the Rock Gods were fair, then “Second Coming” would’ve gone multi-platinum.
The thirteen songs on this second Shotgun Messiah CD are superb, having a more US hard rock bite that completely blow away…
