Messa at The Alpine

Italian doom metal quartet Messa bring their hypnotic 'Scarlet Doom' sound to Reno's The Alpine. Known for blending jazz, blues, punk, and black metal into a darkly atmospheric whole, the band is touring behind their fourth album *The Spin*, recorded in a 500-year-old villa in Northern Italy. The set promises a journey through their eclectic catalog, from early records like *Belfry* to the goth-rock-inflected new material.

Fans can expect a performance that balances crushing riffs with ethereal vocals, as the band's dynamic range shifts from brooding ambience to explosive intensity. Messa's meticulous craftsmanship and eagerness to surprise themselves make for a compelling live show.

Messa's recent album *The Spin* incorporates 80s goth rock vibes and was recorded using original era equipment. The band aims to surprise even themselves, ensuring each performance is distinct.
