Messenger
I'm playing the electric bass guitar for a new Christian band called Messenger . We've purposed in our hearts to only perform our own original material. Our defacto band leader for lack of a better term is Chris Butler. He wears many hats - writer, vocalist, guitarist (lead & rhythm) in addition to opening up his house as a place to rehearse. Chris has been writing songs at a phenomenal rate and has written all our material thus far. He was the lead guitarist and a vocalist in my last band - "Crosswalk". Our other guitarist is Doug Engel. Doug is our youngest member (22 years old) and quite a Rock-N-Roller! He has a Marshall amp and a couple of guitars equipped with Floyd Rose whammy bars. He gets a sweet hard rock sound but his heart has been softened by "The Rock" Jesus Christ. Doug has also been my long time friend. He was the lead guitarist in a great Christian rock band called "Seventh Seal". Unfortunately the "Crosswalk" and "Seventh Seal" Christian bands are no longer together. It's worth mentioning both disbanded when it became evident that they had run their courses. The dissolution's were amicable and mutual . This is all old news but something has happened recently that made it necessary to update this web site - an addition to our personnel. We had been doing without a drummer for a long time but God has answered our prayers and supplied us with a talented 28 year old Christian gentleman named Rich Hoekel. Things are really coming together quickly. We hope to either start recording or performing in the near future. It's great jammin' with such talented musicians. Messenger has more of a rock edge than any other Christian band I've been associated with. I'm having a ball with these guys and we get along great.
- Greg FialaFree MP3 Sample: Walking With the Lord
This is a jazz like tune and atypical of the hard edge genre we have chosen for most of our songs. It was recorded on a 4 track Tascam PortaStudio (analog cassette) so forgive the poor quality please. It also utilizes a drum machine (Pre-Rich Recording).
