Messiness Releases New Song “Fatally”
Italian indie rock band Messiness, consisting of Max Raffa (vocals/guitar), Rosario Lo Monaco (guitar), Filippo La Marca (keyboards), Giovanni Calella (bass) and Luca Anello (drums), released their third single called “Fatally” on June 19, 2025, following “Previous Life” and “Feature with a Rapper”.
The song will appear on their upcoming debut album, which is set to be released later this year via Tarla Records and StoneFree Records.
Penned in Liverpool, the track delves into the harrowing reality of substance dependency, offering a profound and melancholic look at addiction as a relentless cycle of promised redemption and inevitable failure.
It was written and produced by Massimiliano Raffa, with production by Ivan A. Rossi.
The band lead singer Max Raffa said of the song, “I penned this while I was living in Liverpool, right after sharing a few pints with this lad I met down the local. He’d just gotten out of the therapeutic community. 'Fatally' is a harrowing introspection on addiction, rehabilitation, and the crushing weight of time’s inescapable forward march. It is a song about being caught in a cycle that simultaneously promises redemption and assures failure, where rehabilitation becomes another form of incarceration, and the self-battered, fragmented, and alienated-remains hopelessly adrift.”- He continued, “This is not simply the story of one individual’s struggle with addiction; it is a melancholic manifesto for those who have tried and failed, for those who live suspended in the liminality of broken promises and wasted years, for those who have watched the world move forward while they remain stranded in the wreckage of their past selves.”
