MESSA is an Italian 4-piece band born in 2014 playing obscure and evoking doom with deliciously haunting female vocals, influenced by Pentagram, Bellwitch, Windhand, Jex Thoth, Sabbath Assembly, Bathory, La Piramide di Sangue. Their debut album titled InchBelfryInch mix dark ambient drones with vintage heavy occult doom and mesmerizing female vocals that will drive you through a scarlet velvet trip.

2016 . Mefisto started back in 1984 under the name Torment. Along with Obscurity, the two were the first Swedish extreme bands to follow mighty Bathory. Both bands were of superior quality, however after just two demos, both folded as they were simply too early with their extreme music at the time and getting no support. Mefisto have since gained a cult status, heavily influencing the extreme music underground, especially the local Stockholm death metal scene. Featuring mega-talented guitarist Omar Ahmed, who delivered tight riffs and great solos, played out in a classic yet extreme manner, that to this day sounds fresh and relevant. Roberto Granath delivered violent drumming like only a few have before. After the departure of bassist/singer Sandro, guitarist Omar took over the vocals as well. 30 years after the demos there is finally the Mefisto debut album 2. 0. 1. 6. Recorded in Stockholm, mastered by Dan Swano (Opeth, Katatonia, Bloodbath). Cover art by Roberto Toderico (Tygers of Pan Tang, Soulburn, Sinister).
