Messa is an Italian band that has intricately woven its sound through the delicate threads of doom metal, jazz, and blues, creating a rich tapestry of musical landscapes that continue to captivate and intrigue listeners around the world. Originating from Italy, the band was formed in 2014 and has since then garnered a reputation for their experimental approach to heavy music, infusing it with an atmospheric blend of ambient textures and a hypnotic solemnity. Their debut album, "Belfry," released in 2016, immediately set the tone for their unique brand of music, combining hauntingly beautiful vocals with crushing riffs and eerily serene passages.

Over time, Messa has continued to evolve and refine their sound. With "Feast for Water" in 2018, the band delved deeper into the realms of dark jazz and blues, further distinguishing themselves within the heavy music scene. Their musical journey has been marked by a series of critically acclaimed albums, leading up to their most recent offering, "Close," which came out in 2022. The band’s presence extends beyond studio recordings, with their enigmatic live performances capturing the essence of their albums, as evidenced by their "Live at Roadburn" recording from the prestigious Roadburn Festival in 2022. Through tracks like "Orphalese (Live at Roadburn Festival 2022)," "Rubedo," "Dark Horse," and "Pilgrim," Messa continues to push the boundaries of genre and creativity, establishing themselves as a distinctive and innovative force in the international music scene.
