Messa - Live at Roadburn (2023)

Messa emerged on the first day of 2014. The extreme diversity of their musical background immediately proved to be essential in the construction of the band’s sound: Prog, Black Metal, Punk, Dark Ambient, jazz, Blues and Doom… all those influences have been channelled into a sonic cauldron that the band defines “Scarlet Doom”.

Italian Doom trailblazers Messa captured live at the Roadburn Festival 2022 with a special extended lineup, immortalised on LP, CD, and digital via Svart Records. Relive Messa’s main-stage Roadburn Festival triumph as they perform select cuts from the new album CLOSE, featuring a unique constellation of musicians and instruments that give the album its distinctive sound.
Messa’s packed-out Roadburn set was one of the most talked about of the 2022 edition, and left the audience gob-smacked in their wake. Invisible Oranges said it best when they described Messa live as “Captivating from the start, the band meld doom and Mediterranean influences to create a sound that inspires devotion, not least through vocalist Sara’s powerful voice and commanding presence.”
