Messerschmitt is a doom metal band formed in Halden, Østfold, Norway in 2005. They released their self-titled debut album on June 14 2013. 3. The speed metal band formed in late 1987 by Miro Kusacic in Pula. The first MC 'Lussy' was recorded in '88 in Zminj, followed by the first praises and numerous shows across entire ex-Yugoslavia. In 1989 Messerschmitt played their way to the finals of YURM (YU Rock Moment) - the biggest new-bands festival in ex-YU. The first LP 'Foxxin'' was recorded in 1990 in Pula, welcomed by unconditional critics' support. All issued copies were quickly sold out and never re-issued for the record label ('Blind Dog Records') stopped working. After a brief break and a new line-up, Messerschmitt quickly returned lost positions on the scene and played numerous shows, including festivals on which the band appeared mostly as headliners. At the same time, Messerschmitt appeared on numerous LP and CD compilations, the most famous being 'Bombardiranje New Yorka' (Bombardment of New York). 1993 saw the band's second album: 'Shake That Thing', recorded on the same location as the first LP, for 'Slusaj Najglasnije' (Listen Loudest) label from Zagreb. The band promoted the new LP by touring Croatia and Slovenia massively, which culminated with the show at the 'Fiju Briju' festival in Zagreb.
