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 new 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.
