Massive Attack is a collaborative British music production group hailing from Bristol, England. The band, currently consisting of Robert Del Naja, Tricky, and Daddy G, was originally formed with the inclusion of Andrew Vowles. Their name was inspired by a slogan spray-painted by New York graffiti artist Brim in 1985. Initially adopted as a record label name, it later became the band's official moniker. During the Gulf War in 1991, their releases were labeled as 'Massive' to ensure continued airplay amidst pressure from the British Government.

The group emerged alongside fellow graffiti artists Balogun and Bio from TATS CRU in NYC. They collectively created pieces at the Malcolm X Centre in St. Paul's, Bristol. Renowned graffiti artist [a151718], known then as 3-D, played a significant role in adopting and popularizing the Massive Attack slogan.

With an influential presence in the music industry since their formation, Massive Attack continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their unique sound and innovative approach to music production.

Mezzanine, the third full-length release from Massive Attack, is a taste of the future of pop music—a future where precisely engineered events can be seamlessly partnered with the subtle complexities of a human voice. This time they take the union further, moving it into a darker space in which the individual elements become less discernable. Guest vocalists are Sara Jay, Horace Andy (who also appeared on their debut), and Elizabeth Fraser (of Cocteau Twins), whose amazingly articulate and distinctive voice works so very well with the music of Massive Attack.

The Super Deluxe Edition 21st anniversary reissue triple LP and double CD versions feature the original album re-mastered + an album of previously unreleased dub remixes by the Mad Professor. Widely hailed as their masterpiece, Mezzanine saw the band move away from the ‘trip-hop’ sound they had helped define to embrace rock and electronica. Mezzanine was remastered by Tim Young at Metropolis who has worked with the band for over twenty years. The Mad Professor remixes were originally intended to be released on a remix album.
