Testimony Records proudly announce that death thrash trio MESSTICATOR have signed with the label. We gladly welcome the band from Hamburg, Germany to our deadly roster! MESSTICATOR will release their second full-length via Testimony Records in 2025.
MESSTICATOR will support label mates DESERTED FEAR on their upcoming Veins of Fire Tour 2025 starting at the Bahnhof Pauli in their native Hamburg this Thursday, April 24.
MESSTICATOR comment: “Pitslayer!”, vocalist and bass player Phil Gloe exclaims. “We are glad to have found a strong partner and home for our upcoming album with Testimony Records. Considering the expertise and the other bands of their roster, we couldn’t have made a better decision. We are ready to spread the cvlt! Obey the Messticator and the Testimony!”
Testimony Records write: “We are thrilled to announce the signing of Messticator”, label manager Thomas Strater enthuses. “The power trio from Hamburg combines the brute force of death metal with the sheer aggression of thrash. Delivering uncompromisingly heavy music, their sound incorporates a modern take on death metal as well as an undeniable love for great old ones such as Slayer. Their upcoming tour with Deserted Fear will put them on the map for serious headbangers and we can hardly wait to release their new album!”
Something dark was brewing in the ancient Hanseatic harbour city of Hamburg in 2019. Three men gathered to create a new death machine that combined the massive fire power of metal’s most brutal genre with the whipping aggression of old school thrash. The German trio named this fearsome hybrid of thrash and death metal MESSTICATOR and soon unleashed it unto an unsuspecting world.
When MESSTICATOR fired the opening salvo with their debut album “Forthcoming Revelation” in 2022 it had a massive impact on the European metal scene that led to invitations to prestigious festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Turock Fest as well as other major events. The love of the Germans for classic thrash became manifest with the Slayer Cover EP “Seasons of the Abryss” in 2023.
MESSTICATOR will release their sophomore full-length via the label.
