Messa release new song ‘Rubedo’

MESSA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Rubedo, is taken from the Italian occult doom metal band’s upcoming new album, Close, which is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Svart Records.

Rubedo is a latin word that translates as ‘redness’. It symbolizes the reunion of opposites and the manifestation of the self in its entirety. The color red has always been connected with hot-blood and sacrifice,” says the band about the new song. “The lyrics are about dealing with the sense of guilt. Sometimes we harm the ones we love without realizing it, and all of a sudden we reckon our faults and wish to heal the person we hurt. Rubedo is a track tied with both our previous work and the journey dimension of our new album.”
