Messa announced headline UK & EU tour

Italian doom metal band MESSA are pleased to announce their first UK & EU headline tour following the release last year of their critically acclaimed album THE SPIN.

MESSA mesmerised audiences last autumn on their support run with Paradise Lost. They’re currently playing a series of sold-out shows in their home country of Italy and are looking forward to bringing their signature blend of intense and atmospheric jazzy doom metal back to stages in UK and EU.

Sara Bianchin exclaims:

“We are very happy to announce our first EU/UK headlining tour after the release of ‘The Spin’. We can’t wait to see you and play for you!“

THE SPIN, the band’s debut on Metal Blade Records, received widespread consensus as a remarkable album from the venetian four piece. Decibel Magazine championed, “… a sweeping statement that draws equally from doom and goth rock, with hefty doses of classic heavy metal and jazz thrown in.” Deaf Forever concurred, lauding the band’s, “…strongest album to date,” that, “definitively establishes MESSA as one of the most exciting and creative bands of the modern era.” Gushed New Noise Magazine, “…though all of their output makes for easy recommendations, it’s The Spin that finally shoulders MESSA out of the niche, best-kept-secret parameters they’ve been snagged in and onwards towards the oh, so elite, ‘many are called but few are chosen’ province of unequivocal, rock n’ roll preeminence. This is analogous to Soundgarden’s flight path from Badmotorfinger to Superunknown.” Added Metal Hammer Germany, “Anyone who appreciates the free-spirited combination of an exceptional voice with plenty of quiet moments and some blaring riffs will find MESSA to be the perfect band.” THE SPIN was crowned top 5 ALBUM of THE YEAR for several medias worldwide, including Stereogum (#1 Metal), Quietus (#1 Metal), Decibel (#2), Metal Hammer DE (#4), Mondo Sonoro (#4), Metal Hammer UK (#5), Metal Injection (#5) and more.
