Mélancolia share third single ‘Picking Scabs’ off upcoming album ‘RANDOM.ACCESS.MISERY’

Melbourne blackened nu-metal force Mélancolia today reveal their new single ‘Picking Scabs’, the latest taste of their anticipated sophomore album, ‘“random.access.misery’”, set for release Friday 29th August via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records.

Arriving hot off the back of a 17-date national tour supporting Thy Art Is Murder, ‘Picking Scabs’ sees Mélancolia dive deeper into the world of nu-metal while continuing to blur the edges of metalcore and deathcore. With nods to Slipknot, DJ scratches, ethereal vocal layers, and $UICIDEBOY$-inspired samples, this track stands as their most daring yet. Watch the video here.

‘Picking Scabs’ follows recent singles ‘ALL_IS_RUST’ and ‘SPIT!‘, featuring Chris Mackertich of Dregg, both of which signalled an evolution in the band’s sound, introducing new vocal textures and their first-ever guest collaboration. Their new music adds another layer to the dark atmosphere Mélancolia are becoming known for and were written to be played live, specifically to cater for sing alongs, mosh pits and stage dives.

‘Picking Scabs’ is streaming everywhere now. “random.access.misery” will be out everywhere via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records on Friday August 29.
