Description
If you were around in 1994, you know that music was changing fast. Grunge had taken over the airwaves and many bands either adapted—or vanished. But Bride? They doubled down. Bride gave us a masterclass in sticking to your roots. Rather than chasing what was trendy, they turned inward and pushed their own sound to the next level. The result was a ferocious, focused, and faith-charged album that delivered hit after hit—"Beast," "Murder," "Scarecrow," and more, the perfect follow-up to their amazing Snakes In the Playground. Produced by John and Dino Elefante
This Limited Run Vinyl, on Girder Records, is more than just a reissue. It’s a celebration of one of Christian metal’s finest moments. With remastered audio, an expanded booklet, and two jaw-dropping vinyl variants (yes—this is Scarecrow Messiah’s first-ever vinyl release), this is the definitive version fans have waited for.
Whether you’re new to Bride or a longtime fan who saw them tear up the stage in the '90s, this release is for you. It's officially licensed from Capitol and band supported and approved.
Limited Run Vinyl (First Time Ever on Vinyl):
The Vinyl will come in Shockwave Blue (Blue). Shockwave Blue (Blue) will come with printed, autographed, handwritten lyrics of “Scarecrow”
What Dale Thompson says:
"Scarecrow Messiah" marked the closing chapter of one powerful Bride era and the dawn of another. As a vocalist, the weight of following up Snakes in the Playground—our most iconic album at the time—was heavy. The fans had given us their love, and we knew we had to match that energy, if not push it further. This wasn’t just an album; it was the bridge between who we were and who we were becoming.
Every track was built to redefine us, a sonic leap into uncharted territory while staying true to the raw spirit that got us here. Scarecrow Messiah became the catalyst for our evolution, paving brand-new roads for us to walk—and sometimes, to run. It wasn’t just music; it was the soundtrack of change, for the band and for everyone who came along for the ride.
What Doug Van Pelt (HM) says:
Bride’s Scarecrow Messiah is criminally overlooked in many discussions about their humongous catalog. After three initial albums with the metal of frenetic double bass drums and high-pitched wailing (Show No Mercy, Live to Die, and Silence is Madness), the band down-shifted into a groove-heavy hard rock sound that catered to their strengths.

Protect Your Order with Insurance
We strongly encourage you to purchase insurance for your order at checkout to ensure your items are fully covered in case they are lost, stolen, or damaged during transit. This insurance covers your entire order, not just individual items, providing peace of mind throughout the shipping process.

How Insurance Works for Damaged Items
- If a jewel case is cracked during shipping, your insurance will cover the cost of sending you a replacement case.
- If you prefer a new, factory-sealed CD instead of a replacement case, you will need to ship the damaged product back to us at your own expense. Once we receive it, we will send you a new, sealed CD.
- Please note that insurance does not cover the cost of return shipping.
