Messa

That Messa recently announced that they have signed to Metal Blade may have given you a clue that there’s new music on the horizon from this Italian four-piece. It is our great honour to confirm your suspicions, and that when it comes, you’ll be able to absorb the new offering from Messa in full at Roadburn 2025. 

So, yes, there is some patience required here – but having had a preview of what’s to come, we know that your patience will be well and truly rewarded. We can confirm that the album will arrive shortly before Roadburn does making this their album release show, and it will be called The Spin… but that’s all we’re able to divulge for now.

If you look to the past, to what Messa have given us so far, then you’ll experience the foundations upon which The Spin has been built. Performing what they have dubbed as “scarlet doom”, Messa has an earth-shaking knack for combining the blues, prog, metal, jazz and more; their righteously tight musical chops underpinning soaring vocals. Their propensity for writing cohesive albums that work extremely well as a whole is evidenced by their previous Roadburn outing where they memorably performed Close in full (and which was immortalised with a Live at Roadburn release).

Of their return to Roadburn, Messa tell us:
“We are stoked to present The Spin in its entirety at Roadburn 2025. It’s going to be intense and we are looking forward to it. There is no better place for us to play this new album and share this experience with you, letting it all out. See you in Tilburg!“

We’ll keep our cards close to our chest for now, and follow along with everyone else as The Spin is gradually revealed to the waiting world. If you’re anticipating a spine-tingling performance of epicly atmospheric doom with a twist, then we don’t think you’ll be going away disappointed.
