The Messiah Of Madness returns with NSFW single
Steel-town PA emcee/producer The Messiah Of Madness gets extra nasty in new single. “My D*ck Stand On Business” is some grimey freak-tales like if Freddy Krueger was influenced by Too $hort and Blowfly. Speaking on the track the artist said “Out here I’m known for having a lot of beautiful women. Matter-of-fact the amount of children I’ve fathered geographically probably outnumbers the amount of women that most men will get with in their lifetime.”
The track is taken from the recently released EP You Already Know (out now Dominion Hill Records). The emcee alter-ego of producer Tone Fultz, The Messiah Of Madness is adept at creating next-level horrorcore with no lyrical filter. The entire EP is self-produced, aside from other recent single “Crown Royal Bag” which was done by fellow Pittsburgh legend Big Jerm, who has also laced tracks for Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg.

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.
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
