Melbourne blackened nu-metal outfit Mélancolia have announced their first-ever national headline tour, access.all.misery, bringing their nightmarish new era to stages across the country this September. Joining Mélancolia across Australia is Apate, Outsider and st.
The access.all.misery tour arrives alongside last week's release of new single "SPIT!" featuring Chris of DREGG, taken from their upcoming sophomore album, ‘random.access.misery’, out Friday August 29 via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast.
"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.
Picked as one of four 4 "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, sharing it live on the access.all.misery tour; "We are bringing a fresh sound to an otherwise stale scene, you will not hear what we are doing from anyone else," says the band. "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 their 2023 debut record '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.
Don’t miss your chance to witness the future of heavy music in its most hellish form.
