SHOTGUN (ex-SHOTGUN MESSIAH) "Live - Down Decadencia Drive" Album Details Revealed

Swedish hard rockers SHOTGUN will release their new live album "Live - Down Decadencia Drive" on May 7 through Livewire/Cargo Records. A rocking new half breed of the original SHOTGUN MESSIAH is now releasing an in your face live album with all the songs from Shotgun Messiah’s highly acclaimed first album.
