Melancholy
was formed on the 12th of December in 1998. It's true to say that the sound
of Melancholy was steering in such directions as Death, Gothic and Doom with
elements of Nu-Metal. Their first release titled "The Fatal Deconstruction
of The World", which was recorded on simple audio cassettes. In 2002 at
Melancholy's studio Mindcrusher labs, the group recorded their first full
length album titled "Fear Of Emptiness". This album was regarded as the real
debut of the group. After many of changes in members and difficult
decisions, Melancholy decided to make a risky step (in the opinion of
Russian metal underground) - in 2003 the band released a maxi-single "Closed
Eyes". At this very moment there appeared the idea to use new musical
instrument Cello and that has changed the overall sound of the group and
gave them new life. The second full album "Abeyance" (2004) was recorded at
last. This work has become the first one with new sounding (including the
cover-version on the famous "No ordinary love" by great jazz-singer Sade).
The music was completely different: there was a new electronic sound mixed
together with harder guitar riffs, the low melodic sound of the cello
together with female vocals that created an unrepeatable atmosphere of
Melancholy's style that we can call Nu-Gothic-Metal. At the end of 2005,
Melancholy recorded new maxi-single "Profet ver.1" (including cover version
on the Fear Factory song "Replica"). Russian fans called this album the best
spring album of 2006. On the 21st of October 2006, Melancholy released their
full 3d album titled "NANO"...
The album
incorporates the full range of Melancholy, while members experiment with
individual tastes. This has brought rise to a new and modern sound that
hasn’t been heard within metal before. In 2006 Melancholy was nominated as
best metal band at the annual alternative music awards RAMP-2006
Melancholy
embarks on a new journey with the Capsula. This album brings a whole new
vision of Metal, Gothic, Thrash, and Rock into a singularity of music, while
mixing Tanin's female vocals in with Roos's power vocals. In addition, Kron,
whom plays keys, also plays guitar on some of the songs. Melancholy knows no
limits and accepts no boundaries. |
