MESSA - The Spin CD (Preorder)

NB! Preorder item, release April 11.

Italian doom metal alchemists MESSA will release their new full-length, The Spin, on April 11th through their new label home of Metal Blade Records.

Sailing past their tenth anniversary in 2024, MESSA takes another step towards legendary status with their majestic fourth album The Spin, which takes its listeners on a breathtaking journey across the wide-open skies of their creative imagination and over a compelling landscape of moods, twists, and styles. Based in the band's eclectic, self-defined "scarlet doom" sound, The Spin rises, falls, broods, bites, comforts, and destroys, all the while resounding with both instinctive 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 is audibly equipped for the proverbial big leagues.

MESSA's signature sound absorbs influences from jazz and blues, punk and prog, and black metal and dark ambient, but their restless experimentalism has extraordinarily smooth and assured results. The Spin incorporates another new element, interpolating an '80s goth rock vibe in typically full-blooded fashion.
