Metal outfit Melting, self-described as sonic aggression made in Melbourne, today share their debut EP ‘You Exist Because We Allow It’ via Greyscale Records. They launch with a new video for Oblivion, stream it here.
After generating some buzz with three debut singles last year, Melting quickly attracted the attention of Greyscale, who are now proud to represent the four-piece. The group made an impression with new singles 874 and Into The Suffer, setting the tone for their upcoming debut EP. They’ve already shared a handful of new tunes on stages supporting alternative heavyweights in Thornhill and Justice For The Damned, and will join regional Australian runs supporting Alpha Wolf in May and Thy Art Is Murder in July. Tickets on sale via Destroy All Lines.
‘You Exist Because We Allow It’ is the groups first record together and first as a freshly signed band, and they’ve put their best foot forward on their defining new collection. “The title says it all”, says the band. “This record is relentless, both sonically and in its themes—absolute control, or the lack thereof. Refusing to be pigeon holed was the catalyst for the direction of this EP.”
Melting’s debut EP has received glowing reviews so far:
“Melting aren’t your average metalcore act … with the release of this stellar EP, there’s no doubt that their path of an upwards trajectory will bring them to new heights. This is Melting’s world, and we’re just living in it – if you weren’t already aware, you soon will be.” Wall Of Sound 9/10
“Very few bands have gone from initially impressing to establishing themselves as a must listen in such a short space of time as Melting … ‘You Exist Because We Allow’ It is inescapably impressive, capturing an emotion with a wrath and pain across several tracks that is truly commendable” Boolin Tunes 8/10
“…a record that is both compact and yet diverse, pushing the boundaries of what Metallic Hardcore is known for.” Metal Noise 8/10
“Delivering the kind of metallised chaos that draws heavily from the hardcore world, Melting’s debut EP is a noisy one. Featuring six absolute ragers that will leave you with the silliest smile on your face, provided you enjoy focused aggression delivered in hectic fashion. Who doesn’t?” GBHBL 8/10
“Absolutely diabolical that this is one of your first releases?! Some of the best straight-up metalcore I’ve heard in a minute!” Lauren Guerrera, triple j Unearthed 5/5
Melting’s debut EP ‘You Exist Because We Allow It’ is available and streaming everywhere now via Greyscale Records.
