Repress. Messa's rising trajectory hits the stratosphere on their immense album 'Close'. With this album, the band draws the listener further into spellbinding textures and immersive dynamics. Described as "Stevie Nicks fronting Black Sabbath", singer Sara's colossal voice omnipotently carries the listener on an emotional rollercoaster ride where the sonic cauldron of Iommi-like guitar gives way to Arabian oudh and progressive solos in a style clash that well befits Messa's incendiary reputation. Referencing bands like Dead Can Dance, Swans and Om, Messa have created an album where song, experience and atmosphere are focused into a crystalline modus where high art flawlessly embraces good old fashioned riff-worship. Comes on red vinyl including a booklet.
