LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Mess Anger Official Website) - Hard hitting and intense enough to blast through tons of concrete and the local indie music scene, there's a dark and heavy, hard charging and emotionally blistering mess happening in South Florida these days-one that goth and heavy metal fans alike have no interest in cleaning up!
Miami-based glam/goth rocker Mess Anger (www.myspace.com/messangerrock,) is channeling his deep seated frustrations with life into a dominant, crunch-guitar driven vibe. It's full of raw passion, searing vocals and-on his highly anticipated debut album Black House Mess, due for release later this spring-a twisted roller coaster of personal emotions, he says, 'from my private hell.'
The music is a sledgehammer in your face and for the wild at heart only, but a huge part of Mess' dark, cutting edge appeal is visual. The camera loves his fashionable and mysterious, black on black style.
A blazing swirl of crackling guitar fire, hard rhythms and melodic coolness, the first single 'Angry Little Angel' perfectly represents his uniquely eclectic songwriting influences, which range from his idol Alice Cooper and Metallica to Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson. 'Angry Little Angel,' is going to Active Rock radio starting in mid-April.
'I was going through one painful experience after another during the time I was writing the songs,' he adds. 'I leave some things open to the listener's interpretation because I don't like to get overly personal in explaining these situations, but suffice to say these things were crushing me. I was trying to escape my emotional pain by letting these three and a half minute songs become catharsis for me. Every time I perform these songs, I feel I'm capturing just what I went through and I am more and more relieved. Funny thing is, being depressed is actually great for my songwriting because I get in touch with those inner demons and find a way to let them out. It's like I'm possessed by something in that magical moment, and it's an incredibly natural high.'
With the release of Black House Mess, Mess Anger is looking forward to hitting the road and sharing these exploding emotions with fans across the country. 'It's great moving forward, living all of these frustrations and then getting through them via the power of music,' he says.
