Messa

The quartet from the Veneto region, after testing the waters with the albums "Belfry" (2016) and "Feast For Water" (2018), lands the winning blow with their third record, "Close", one of the most acclaimed Italian albums of 2022, in which their well-honed doom/esoteric framework is grafted with neo-folk, hard-psych and even jazz influences.

After a long tour that takes them all over Europe, including some of the most important festivals on the metal circuit, in April 2023 Messa release the live album "Live At Roadburn".
