Sounds | Messa - The Dress

Jan Guisset


Voor velen waren ze dé ontdekking op de voorbije edities van Desertfest en Samhain, voor anderen waren hun kwaliteiten al lang geen geheim meer. Feit is dat dit Italiaanse kwartet graag een stevige scheut eigenzinnigheid toevoegt aan hun logge doomrock/metal, zoals bijvoorbeeld hier in dit nieuwe nummer dat halverwege een jazzy trompetsolo inlast.

The Dress is de eerste single uit hun nieuwe album The Spin dat verschijnt op 11 april. Het wordt hun eerste release voor hun nieuwe label, Metal Blade Records.

“The Dress” is the latest single from Italian doom metal conjurors MESSA. The stunning new track, which includes a trumpet solo by Michele Tedesco, comes off the band’s forthcoming new full-length, The Spin, set for release on April 11th through Metal Blade Records.


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.
