Shotgun Messiah were a 1980s Glam metal band originally from Sweden, they went on to dabble in Industrial rock music during the early to mid 1990s.
First Era, 1985-1991
The band previously went under the name “Kingpin” while they played in Sweden, recording the album Welcome To Bop City, the line-up featured Zinny J. Zan (vocals), Tim Skold (going by “Tim Tim”) (bass), Harry K. Cody (guitar) and Pekka “Stixx” Ollinen (drums). This would become the original line-up of Shotgun Messiah as the band changed their name and relocated to Hollywood, California hungry for more success. The album they released under the “Cools” name was re-recorded and released as Shotgun Messiah’s self-titled debut album, Shotgun Messiah. The style of this album was Glam metal typical of early 1980s American bands, in the vein of Mötley Crüe and Ratt.
Second Era, 1991-1993
Soon after this, frontman Zinny J. Zan departed, leaving Tim Skold to take over vocal duties for the band, Shotgun Messiah drafted in American bassist, Bobby Lycon to fill Skold’s former position. This would prove to be the band’s most successful era. In 1991, the band’s follow up album Second Coming was released, spawning their most famous hit “Heartbreak Blvd”. Stylistically, due to Skold’s less conventional singing style, this era saw the band playing Sleaze glam-styled hard rock, closer to Guns N’ Roses and Faster Pussycat than their previous effort.
A punk rock influence was prevalent during this period. The band released I Want More, an EP featuring cover versions of songs by the Ramones, the Stooges and the New York Dolls, during this time, they were also known to cover the Sex Pistols live.

Some of the vocals on the first album are annoying a bit, but it can be overlooked. Most of the time this is some excellent hard rock. The guitar playing is outstanding
