Our Take

Arcade Messiah's latest self-titled album is like a sonic rollercoaster through the arcade of your childhood dreams. The Brainchild of Irish multi-instrumentalist John Bassett, this record is a whirlwind of prog-rock, metal, and electronic elements that will have you headbanging one moment and robot-dancing the next.

From the opening track "Revolver" to the closing notes of "Life Clock," Arcade Messiah takes you on a journey through unexpected twists and turns, much like trying to navigate your way through a crowded arcade on a Saturday night. Bassett's guitar work is nothing short of virtuosic, with riffs that will make you question if your air guitar skills are up to par.

Tracks like "Red Widow" and "Read-Write" showcase the range of influences at play here, with nods to bands like Tool and Pink Floyd. The production on the album is top-notch, with a crispness that allows every instrument to shine through.

Arcade Messiah is a testament to Bassett's talent as a musician and producer, and a reminder that sometimes the best music is found in the most unexpected places. So grab a bag of quarters, plug in your headphones, and let Arcade Messiah take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
