Melbourne's own blackened nu-metal outfit Mélancolia are back with a vengeance, dropping their new single "Picking Scabs" as a preview of their highly anticipated sophomore album, random.access.misery.
The album is set to arrive on Friday, August 29th, via Greyscale Records and Nuclear Blast, with a national headline tour to follow in September.

Fresh off a massive 17-date tour supporting Thy Art Is Murder, "Picking Scabs" showcases the band's continued evolution. The track dives deeper into a nu-metal sound, seamlessly blending it with their metalcore and deathcore roots

With their momentum at an all-time high, Mélancolia is ready to prove they are a force to be reckoned with. Praised by Metal Hammer as one of four "brilliant new metal bands you need to hear," the group is confident in their sound. "Love us or hate us, you will fucking remember us," the band states, setting the stage for an album written specifically for the live experience, promising mosh pits and sing-alongs.
