Messenger hails from Germany, and Starwolf – Pt. 2: Novastorm represents their second release to continue carrying out a space saga Epic Power Metal storyline. Messenger follows true to form with respect to their Epic Power Metal roots, showing strong influences from others in this subgenre (e.g., Blind Guardian). Overall the storyline is cheesy and the lyrics tend to be force-fit into their music, but there is still some good musicianship to admire and soak in. Novastorm isn’t going to grab hold of you suck you into its fantasy world, but it’s an enjoyable listen at most turns nonetheless.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
