Album DescriptionAvailable in:
The Spin is the fourth studio album by Italian doom metal band Messa, released in 2024. The album marks a bold step forward in the band’s evolution, embracing a darker, more expansive sound that draws heavily from 1980s gothic rock, dark wave, and post-punk while retaining Messa’s doom metal foundation. Compared to earlier releases, The Spin places greater emphasis on atmosphere, mood, and rhythmic drive, with prominent use of reverb-soaked guitars, pulsating basslines, and restrained yet powerful drumming.
Vocalist Sara Bianchin delivers one of her most expressive performances to date, shifting fluidly between haunting melodies and commanding intensity. Lyrically and sonically, the album explores themes of transformation, inner conflict, and motion, both emotional and physical, mirroring its title. The Spin has been widely praised for its stylistic confidence and willingness to move beyond traditional genre boundaries, further establishing Messa as one of the most adventurous bands in contemporary heavy music.
