Melbourne blackened nu-metal outfit MÉLANCOLIA share new single 'SPIT!' featuring Christopher Mackertich of DREGG, off their sophomore album 'r andom.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.

Melbourne blackened nu-metal outfit MÉLANCOLIA announce their sophomore album random.access.misery will be available Friday August 29 via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records. The band share scathing new single 'ALL_IS_RUST' as a vicious taste of what's to come.

'ALL_IS_RUST' serves as both a declaration of evolution and a warning: MÉLANCOLIA are not here to follow trends—they’re here to dismantle them. The new single is the introduction to MÉLANCOLIA’s forthcoming album, blending metalcore, deathcore, industrial noise, blast beats and DJ scratching into a hellish sonic cocktail. The song welcomes listeners to their new sound and a genre the band have coined as “Blackened Nu Metal”.

'ALL_IS_RUST' marries the sound, aesthetic and visuals from their debut album,'HissThroughRottenTeeth', into one cohesive package; "While there has been a departure from straight up deathcore, we feel this song sounds even more representative of MÉLANCOLIA," says vocalist Alex Hill. "And after testing the waters debuting this song in Europe earlier this year we can confirm this one is already a crowd favourite."

Picked as one of four "brilliant new metal bands you need to hear" by Metal Hammer in April, the band are primed and ready and unleash their defining new album this August; "We are bringing a fresh sound to an otherwise stale scene, you will not hear what we are doing from anyone else. We are setting the trend as we set the bar for modern heavy music. Love us or hate us, you will fucking remember us."

Momentum is at an all time high for the band, having toured Australia three times over off the back of HissThroughRottenTeeth' and breaking into Europe and the UK twice on tours with SUFFOCATION (US) and INGESTED (UK). The band will join THY ART IS MURDER on a regional lap of Australia this June and July and will debut some of their new music for the very first time.
