Mélancolia – share new single ‘SPIT!’ off new album “random.access.misery” feat. Christopher Mackertich of Dregg

Melbourne blackened nu-metal outfit MÉLANCOLIA share new single ‘SPIT! featuring Christopher Mackertich of DREGG, off their sophomore album random.access.misery‘ out Friday August 29 via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast. The band join Thy Art Is Murder on a regional tour of Australia starting this week.

SPIT!’ is a shift in MÉLANCOLIA ‘s established sound, expanding on the nu-metal-influenced direction the upcoming album promises. It’s the first track in their catalogue to feature clean singing and the first to include a guest feature. The new single adds another layer to the dark atmosphere they’re becoming known for and was written to be played live—specifically to cater for sing alongs, mosh pits and stage dives.

Leading single ALL_IS_RUST came before ‘SPIT!’ and released as both a declaration of evolution and a warning: MÉLANCOLIA  are not here to follow trends – they’re here to dismantle them.

MÉLANCOLIA’s forthcoming album random.access.misery melds metalcore, deathcore, industrial noise, blast beats and DJ scratching and blends into a hellish sonic cocktail. ‘ALL_IS_RUST and ‘SPIT! welcomes listeners to the band’s new sound and a genre the band have coined as “Blackened Nu Metal”.

SPIT! is streaming everywhere now. random.access.misery will be out everywhere via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast on Friday August 29.
