MESSA (Metal Blade Records, ITA)
Sailing past their tenth anniversary in 2024, Italian doom artisans Messa take another step towards legendary status with their majestic fourth album The Spin, inviting the listener on a breathtaking journey across the wide open skies of their creative imagination, over a beautiful landscape of moods, twists and styles. From a basis in the band’s eclectic, self-defined ‘Scarlet Doom‘ sound, The Spin rises and falls, broods and bites, comforts and destroys, while resounding with both instinctive, compulsive magic and obsessive, concerted hard work. After lighting up the underground with a triptych of increasingly distinctive and wondrous records – 2016′s Belfry, 2018′s Feast For Water and 2022′s Close – Messa are audibly equipped for the big leagues, and with the help of Metal Blade Records, The Spin should ensure they attain them.
