MELANCHOLIA comment:

“Outshining all existential threats to humanity is climate change. It’s here, it will get worse, and our efforts to mitigate the damage grow more futile by the day. Here’s a new song to help get you through your work day.”

See MELANCHOLIA live this Saturday, October 28 for the ‘Book of Ruination’ release show in Bellingham, WA at The Shakedown with Dryland. Tickets are available HERE.

Listen to “Sunscathed” HERE

True to its name, MELANCHOLIA explores dread and anguish in all of its malformed glory through the lenses of crushing doom/sludge, ferocious black metal/death metal and raw, primitive crust punk. Unified by bleak lyrical themes, suffocating atmosphere, psychedelic dissonance, and striking visual art by vocalist/guitarist Gage Lindsay, MELANCHOLIA exist to push the boundaries of extreme music.

‘Book of Ruination’ was recorded at The Unknown Studio in Anacortes, WA with Rich Canut III. The album was mastered by Adam Pike (Red Fang, Murder by Death) and Nate Abner (Graves at Sea). The album will see its release on November 3rd on CD/LP/CS/Digital via Brutal Panda.

Additionally, the band’s out-of-print 2021 EP, ‘Static Church’ will see its first vinyl and CD release on the same date. Pre-Orders for both albums are available via Brutal Panda HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

I. Ode to Ruination

True to its name, Bellingham WA’s MELANCHOLIA explores dread and anguish in all of its malformed glory. Unified by bleak lyrical themes, suffocating atmosphere, dissonance and striking visual art, MELANCHOLIA exist to push the boundaries of extreme music. Formed in 2018, the duo has already released three EPs that have made waves through the underground. ‘Book of Ruination’, their most ambitious release to date, is a meditation into the void of sonic darkness and esoteric philosophy… an immense journey through life, death, and what lies beyond.
