Comments the band on their “Reveal” video, “The main riff in 'Reveal' manifested itself spontaneously. Our guitar player Alberto dreamed of it one night. He suddenly woke up at 4:00am and recorded it with his phone so he wouldn't forget it. It was the most immediate song to write out of all those we wrote for The Spin and it features two key elements: the typical, 'blues' use of slide guitar and the 'metal' element of the blastbeats.
This video was entirely shot with analog equipment in a tire warehouse in our hometown. We chose the lo-fi aesthetic on purpose, using the dynamism of strobe and neon lights. We tried to make it as spontaneous as the songwriting process for the track.”

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.

"The Spin" was partly recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Maurizio “Icio” Baggio and includes synth work by Andrea Mantione (Nuovo Testamento) on “Fire On The Roof” and cover art by Nico Vascellari (Uroboro, 2023. Nero Portoro marble, tire. 57 x 57 x 10 cm).

LYRICS:
Forged by fire
Lightning splendour
Of gleaming bliss

Vomit, embers
She’s a watcher
Of your sorrow

The end, the end
Is hell

Wake of evil
She’s above you
In darling light

Chronic tempers
Please be careful…
Of what you borrow

The end, the end
Is hell
