Out of the shadowy recesses of “Steeltown” (aka Pittsburgh, PA) a dark musical force known as The Messiah Of Madness has been crafting some of the most grimey boom-bap around today.  His four-track offering, You Already Know (to drop digitally on June 28^th via Dominion Hill Records) is titled such, as the artist relates “if you ever listened to my music, you already know that everything I put out is hard, raw and menacing, this EP is held to the same standard.”

On the mic, The Messiah is gruff, disrespectful and homicidal with his words, his producer alter-ego Tone Fultz (who produces three of the four tracks on this release) is equally adept at creating the type of raucous instrumentals that made Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep touchstones of the 1990’s.  The one non Tone Fultz produced track on the release “Crown Royal Bag” is provided by hometown legend Big Jerm, who has also laced tracks for Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg among others.

This is the first new Messiah Of Madness since last year’s Monstrosity LP (Global Sounds/MNRK) but prior to that was a twelve year break between 2011’s The Ordeal LP and Monstrosity.  This was mostly due to Tone Fultz keeping busy on the production side.  Some of his recent work includes “Get On Your Knees” the new single from Wu-Tang / Theodore Unit affiliate Solomon Childs as well as a forthcoming EP with Kinetic 9 of Killarmy.
