Italian doom metal outfit Messa is pleased to reveal a video for "Reveal". The track comes off the band's critically acclaimed new full-length, The Spin, released in April via Metal Blade Records.
The band on the "Reveal" video: "The main riff in 'Reveal' manifested itself spontaneously. Our guitar player Alberto dreamed of it one night. He suddenly woke up at 4:00 am 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 analogue 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".
Next month, Messa will serve as direct support to Paradise Lost on a month-long European trek. The Ascension Of Europe Tour 2025 begins on 9 October in Manchester, United Kingdom and runs through 6 November in Antwerp, Belgium. Additional support will be provided by Lacrimas Profundere and High Parasite on select shows. See all confirmed dates below and find more regarding Messa and The Spin by following HEREs. Link
