BIOGRAPHY:
MESSIAH’S KISS was formed in 2001 and released its debut „Prayer For The Dying“ in August 2002, shortly after playing on
Wacken Open Air’s famous True Metal Stage. Soon after, the band joined DORO on her European tour as special guest.
The second album „Metal“ was released in 2004 and delivered once again straight and uncompromising heavy metal. The third
album „Dragonheart“ followed in 2007 and the band played at the first edition of the Magic Circle Festival.
Unfortunately, the band was forced to go on hiatus due to health issues.
But now they’re back and ready to release their new stampeding juggernaut of an album „Get Your Bulls Out!“ on December 5,
2014 via Massacre Records!
With tongues firmly in cheeks and inspired by the legend of Reventón - the bull that famously fought back and ‚stuck it to the

ALBUM TITLE: Get Your Bulls Out!
man!‘ - MESSIAH‘S KISS has now returned to prominence; invigorated, fresh and revitalized and with their souls laid bare!
„I wrote the majority of the songs on the past three albums but due to my illness I was unable to continue. Due to the band‘s great
camaraderie and talent, I was able hand the reins of the songwriting over. From adversity comes diversity, I believe through this
experience our friendships have grown stronger, showing a true democracy and unity within the band.“ - George Kraft.
Having recently reunited to jam out ideas for a new album and with their new „no rules“ creative concept, that gave each
individual freedom to bring their own writing style, roots and influences to the table, they have combined their forces to create a
new style of songs and sounds.
„From unfortunate circumstances something really positive has arisen. I‘ve been co-writing songs with my bro Jason since we
were kids. Combining our ideas with the creative talents and ideas of Mike and Eddy, we believe we‘ve crafted a great album and
a refreshing take on the hard rock/heavy metal scene.“ - Wayne Banks.
A new sound is born, embracing the clichés of what we all love about rock music and combining them with the band’s vast and
diverse experiences working with such artists as, Robin Gibb, Riot, Holy Mother, Brazen Abbot, Blaze, Persian Risk, Sabbat,
Repression, Hoof, etc.
„This album has so much power and energy, we‘re straining at the leash to get back out there and stomp the boards, like a pack of
raging bulls waiting to enter the arena!“ - Eckhard Ostra.
Placing no creative limits on themselves, MESSIAH’S KISS bring a courageous new blend of rock music; powerful and energetic,
yet soulful and melodic.
„We weren’t trying to re-write the rule book but maybe we did!“ - Mike Tirelli.
Through a cultural symbiosis of two continents, MESSIAH’S KISS have created an album full of new, multifaceted material - an
album that can be played on a Friday night and on a Monday morning!
An album with great vocal hooks, spine-shattering riffs and irresistible grooves. A true melting pot of emotions to unite all the
corners of the rock genre.
„We just relied on our instincts, went with what we believe in and gave ourselves no boundaries. I think you can hear on the
album that we’re „udderley“ committed to the cause!“ - Jason Banks.
From their 2002 NWOBHM-inspired debut album „Prayer For The Dying“ to the anthemic 2004 release „Metal“, through to
2007‘s double-bass drum fuelled „Dragonheart“ - MESSIAH’S KISS continue to push the boundaries.
Get your ticket, get down the front and „Get Your Bulls Out!“
The time-out is terminated, MESSIAH‘S KISS are back!
