Messa is an Italian band that seamlessly blends doom metal with elements of jazz, blues, ambient, black metal and dark rock. Since forming in 2014, the quartet has developed a distinctive sound in which crushing riffs, atmospheric songwriting and the powerful vocals of frontwoman Sara Bianchin come together. Their adventurous approach to heavy music has established Messa as one of the most innovative acts in contemporary doom metal.
Following the critically acclaimed albums Belfry, Feast for Water and Close, Messa entered a new chapter with The Spin, released through Metal Blade Records in 2025. The album further expands the band's musical palette with subtle influences from gothic rock, new wave and dark jazz while remaining true to its unmistakable intensity. With atmospheric compositions, a boundary-pushing artistic vision and a formidable live reputation, Messa continues to stand out as one of the most distinctive bands on today's heavy music scene.
