Nakh: a ritual dance performed by women along the Algerian/Tunisian border. It features the swaying of the dancer’s head and thrashing of the hair. An altered state of consciousness is induced by the repetitive yet simple movements performed during the dance.
Headbang: slang to nod one’s head violently to the beat of loud rock music.
Lyrics:
Your winds speak to me
And I have no clue
Blurred sight, it shakes me
Burnt wood
But it's blue…
Waters so quiet
I don’t have a warder
A sunny mist
Time does not eat me
Coming here
Sets me free
Free of charge
Towers so high
I can’t see a border
Up on the peak
Time does not fit me
Roaming here
Sets me free
Free of charge
Pilgrim
You make me forget
What I’m here for
Pilgrim
Your breath blows away
All my thoughts
Pilgrim...
Fires so bright
Get lit with disorder
Parts of me leak
Time does not greet me
Melting here
Sets me free
Free of charge
Pilgrim
You make me forget
What I’m here for
Pilgrim
Your breath blows away
All my thoughts

[@ramonw9430]

They sound like Om with a female vocalist and more guitar. The vocal melodies kinda remind me of Candlemass as well. This is very good doom inspired metal. Cheers from California! 😊

[@disneyforthewin]

I so love the RARE song that blows my mind and leaves me with goosebumps from the honor of experiencing a masterpiece for the first time. 5 or 6 times in my 53 years......this is one. Thank you MESSA

[@lucrollin4643]

Step 1: Go to the Hellfest. Step 2: Walk close to the Valley. Step 3: "Wow! what's that band?". Step 4: Loving it.

[@cammrose]

Every song off Close is amazing!

[@zergerer6668]

Ha, that's exactly what happened to me, walked out of Flotsam and Jetsam to take a leak at the toilets next to Valley stage, heard this beautiful voice, straight in, didn't go back, sorry F&J. Now own two Messa albums lol.🤘🤘

[@oneirosmorpheus]

Hands down best metal album of 2022. Lot's of dark atmosphere, doom, black and ancient folk elements. Cheers from Kalifornia!! Will definitely recommend this album to the world.

[@gh0strec0n]

I was listening to this song before my job interview , it calmed me down and pumped me up ! BTW i got the job

[@Mijnziel-0417]

I thank the gods everyday for being alive in a time to enjoy this great band and their music...Thank you Messa !

[@MrFareddy]

TBH. Their music sounds like a slightly faster version of Murkrat (from Australia).

[@gallo1821]

L'asticella della qualità sale ancora...GRANDI!

[@user-ij1yv2mp1s]

La bella voce di Sara mi scalda il cuore. Oh bellissima Sara...

[@darkopeth1574]

E pensare che a Messa non ci sono mai andato. Devo cambiare abitudini.

[@anthonykwan765]

Not just Algerian/Tunisian border. This is Amazigh (otherwise known as Berber) culture of North Africa, from Morocco right across to Libya. It is an amazing sight to see!

[@qrthdsht]

It's real name is "Carthage" NOT "Amazigh".

[@troubadouroutdoors2126]

Traveled there in my 20s. Gorgeous. Just found out about this band from a friend today. Blown away by their talent.

[@globalmarauder8682]

Women headbang all across North Africa from all backgrounds and ethnicities, headbanging, different smells ,colours and repetitive music induce a translike state.

[@dictiustecare]

@@qrthdsht Carthage was punic not amazigh

[@wudly9195]

This band is so hauntingly beautiful I dont know why they aren't more well known.

[@lucacolloi5504]

Non siete un genere...non si è nulla, come il fiume non è mai se stesso...polvere....🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@mrgrindhousejukebox]

Non ho parole. Questo pezzo e questo video sono arte pura. Ogni tanto anche dall'Italia esce qualcosa di buono. Era ora

[@kiark]

Can't stop shaking and crying over the beauty of this song

[@dannyelfman7923]

:D

[@PavelTyan]

Just discovered this and was blown away by this beauty.

[@AngeloPingerna]

One of The best rock band in Europe. Surely Close is the best album came out this year!!!!!

[@audioslavewithamastermind]

You guys are my favorite rock/metal band. I'm not big on metal (post-punk is more of my thing) but I tend to gravitate more towards doom and black metal, and your music is what I've been searching for for years. Much love, from South Africa.

[@RageCFH]

Same bro, I’m from the South US. Love black metal!

[@esperthebard]

Well, this kicks sufficient amounts of ass. The intro section is quite long, though I actually think I like that. It's more like the first movement as opposed to an intro per se. The guitars are awesome, doomy, a few slight note choices and change-ups that work well. And her vocals after the guitars and drums begin are sublime. It's wailing, astral, shadow and light gliding about one another. This is a quick favorite of the various metal tracks I've heard in recent months.

[@abstractwater]

video bellissimo e canzone bellissima. La progressione vocale da 4:20 mi fa venire i brividi. La cosa più bella che ho sentito nel 2022.

[@maryammissawi6824]

I keep coming back to this video over and over again, it guides me through any and every emotion and leaves me grateful and inspired

[@Ita_Metal_Playlist]

una delle poche band italiane che ho trovato interessanti nel 2022. Dal vivo poi sono godibilissimi

[@marcoscorreia6790]

there are no words to describe the feeling of listening to this, it’s an unmatched experience. it’s timeless and makes me feel anxious and safe all at once like nothing else matters or ever will 🖤

[@dannybuoyuk]

Major Om and Acid King vibes. So fucking heavy it brought a tear to my eye, not many times has music ever done that to me. Bravo!

[@claudiabarchi5493]

Sara sei splendida.Voce meravigliosa .Questa band spacca.Complimenti🖤🤟

[@andreazanetti7795]

Brano incredibile:se non fanno il salto definitvo e' un'ingiustizia musicale assurda

[@rustirtey8229]

Услада для глаз и ушей. Мурашки по коже.

[@hughjackson5982]

I found this band two weeks ago out of luck and this song is amazing! Please tour North America.

[@577jimon]

Υπέροχο!

[@thisisthemansworld8704]

YOU ARE REALLY GOOD! PLEASE DON'T STOP MAKING MUSIC!!!!!

[@franlovelsimic8421]

I love the direction! You always change ever so slighlty without losing what makes you awesome. Also, SICK bass tone!

[@pete2derp]

[@bartek8238]

Love those composition contrast between folk instruments and metal esthetic also your clean but strong voice, thank you from poland

[@troubadouroutdoors2126]

This song ans this video are just gorgeous. I’ve actually been there! But I missed my calling, I need to be with this group of women, whipping my hair around on sand dunes.

[@iamtheocean5]

Guys, you've melt my heart with joy and sorrow. Fantastic piece of art! Thank you and cheers, Messa

[@Andy-we6hg]

[@yokitosama]

[@redfbaesse]

[@monteurdours2]

[@micheleporcu2287]

What a mesmerizing and beautiful song. Brings me The Gathering-Mandilyion vibes which I love. Great musicians and omg Sara's voice is just perfect.

[@michelepieloni9554]

Eccezionali ancora una volta,si attende con impazienza il nuovo album....

Coolest video I’ve seen in a while. Really brings metal full circle in it.

[@777p32]

So excited for the new album!

[@thecampria]

Perfection

[@angelosantamaria2859]

Discovered them randomly a few years back during Hellfest. How glad I am to have entered the Valley that time. They came back this year, same experience: transcendental

[@cammrose]

I discovered them at Hellfest this year and been listening to them non stop since

[@fabiosantovito6727]

Ragazzi, non so che dire. STUPENDO sia da un punto di vista registico che musicale!! 🖤🖤

[@toralfnordt1247]

I didn't know anything about headbanging until this video. Absolutely insane. Stunning! 👍

[@Alexinchains81]

Ennesimo capolavoro. Grandiosi come sempre

[@fragre77]

This Is Amazing! Their whole discography is impressive, I dare you find a bad song

[@johnnydzubak4251]

This might be thee most epic shit I've heard. EVER!

[@helo604]

Simply badass!

[@e.m.8184]

THIS IS SO GOOD WTF

[@matycee]

Hell yes! A new Messa album! I had a feeling and followed it successfully!

[@danieltripp2578]

Typical bandcamp - tardy! Still waiting to download my pre-order - it's nearly the end of 11/03/2022 here in Australia! I've been hitting F5 on bandcamp all day - my favourite Italian band...

[@nocturnalamnesia3062]

Simply unique in it's kind.

[@Killbot754]

Preordered the gold vinyl. Can’t wait for the full release!

[@xwho_caresx]

Best thing I've discovered in a long while. Love the music and production 🙌 👌

[@garbym8]

Che giro di chitarra incantevole!!!

[@whynoth]

I like the short part with headbanging action!

[@francescomugoni109]

Grandi...stupenda...cd da comprare subito...

[@hughjackson5982]

I found you out of luck and this song is amazing! Please tour North America.

[@irjarro]

gran pezzo,bel video,bellissima voce. veramente complimenti.

[@jakubsikorski4508]

and these exercises to relax with your head, useful before work;)

Great mystic visons in sound and video. Perfect vibrations in wonderful caption of the soul.

[@KevinMillard]

I love this so, so much. I am so happy to have discovered you!!! I was starting to think that if I wanted to hear a strongly Middle-Eastern flavored doom band I'd have to form it myself. (Actually I still might form my own!) I'm excited to explore your back catalog. Sei così stimolante! P.S. Another huge favorite of mine is Ufomammut. I think I live in the wrong country!

[@Hy-jg8ow]

Headbanging unites us!

[@andreasallustro8682]

Finalmente qualcosa di originale. Pezzo e video assurdo

[@lorenzodicola1403]

perfetti qualsiasi cosa facciate, vi adoro

[@Orxan7]

Masterpiece as always!

[@nadiavirdis4905]

Aaamazing!!! Wow!!

[@Priscilocibina]

Tô completamente encantada com a banda! Impecáveis!

[@J1mD1Greez]

There's a lot of genres. Another album songs is great too. Genres spectre start's at jazz and ends at doom. I am stoned from music

[@robr2303]

Yup..this band is gonna get big in the scene if they stay on course.

[@antonellaspagolla1550]

Ragazzi, vi scopro ora e già vi adoro. Questo video coniuga in sé tutto ciò che amo: il mio amore per i viaggi in terre lontane e sconosciute, per culture diverse e per il metal, contaminato con i più diversi generi musicali. Non ho parole.

[@johnkellypevahouse3731]

Beautiful , powerful and epically heavy. Much love!

[@justinp8473]

This song is an experience

[@rawandabdalhakim1472]

Wowww such a breath taking instrument

[@tombonfanti5184]
