At long last, The Wicked Messenger has arrived. “First Contact” marks the beginning of a new era of rock music. With a core 80s rock-revivalist sound (Allman Brothers, Blue Öyster Cult, Steely Dan, Queen) the band has pieced together a charming array of pop-flavored rock tunes that are infused with progressive influences and grandiose themes intended for all audiences. The band’s brand is centered around the Wicked Messenger, a mysterious character from deep within the universe that has much to tell our society. With the belief that music is the most powerful creation on the planet, the band serves an astronomical purpose to spread the secrets of the universe relayed by the Messenger.
“The Garden” stands for the Wicked Messenger’s view on the modern state of our world. With imagery dating back to the beginning of time, the tune is a catchy yet pensive take on where the human race began, and where it is headed. With booming drums, iconic guitar riffing, and tasteful vocal harmonies, this track is sure to get you thinking and moving.
The second track, “Out of Time”, is a unique take on today’s modern dating world that is coupled with an old school sound. With luscious vocal work, indelible groove and poignant lyricism, “Out of Time” will make you sway and swoon.
“It’s You” is a catchy cut that brings love to life. In a matter of minutes, you’ll be singing along to the gorgeous choral melodies, jamming out to a classic-but-cutting guitar solo, and embracing the most powerful emotion on the planet.
Capping off the release is “The Privateer”, an 8-and-a-half minute epic that tells the story of a sailor and a woman who have become separated by the sea, but are later reunited in eternal life. “The Privateer” is packed full of captivating melodies, emotional guitar work, and an outro that stands up to rock epics like “November Rain” and “Free Bird”.
