Messa announce new album ‘The Spin’
MESSA have announced a new album!
Titled The Spin, the upcoming album from the Italian occult doom metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Close, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Metal Blade Records.
“When we recorded Close back in 2021, we wanted to be all in the same room together,” explains the band. “This time we decided to do the exact opposite. We recorded the album in three different locations and timings. This record has seen a lot of rearrangement of the same musical material in order to make a coherent work from start to finish. We also aimed at making the songs work with the most minimal structure while trying not to repeat ourselves too much. We applied a simple rule: if you hear the same thing twice it‘s enough. Three times? It gets boring.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, MESSA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; At Races.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “this song is about the pressure we feel coming from the outside world. Expectation often is the root of pain and we sense the strain of the weight other people lay upon our shoulders. This song is born from our devotion to KILLING JOKE‘s sonic language: our use of chorus-laden guitar tapestries and synthesizers is a nod to their work during the 80s.”
