Bellingham, WA's MELANCHOLIA, a dynamic duo formed in 2018, has revealed their highly - anticipated debut album, Book of Ruination. Before this album, they'd already released three EPs that made a splash in the underground music scene. Book of Ruination is their boldest move yet, taking listeners on a profound exploration of the sonic darkness and esoteric philosophy. It's an epic voyage through life, death, and the mysteries beyond. True to their name, MELANCHOLIA delves deep into dread and anguish. They blend crushing doom/sludge, ferocious black metal/death metal, and raw, primitive crust punk. With bleak lyrical themes, a suffocating atmosphere, psychedelic dissonance, and eye - catching visual art by vocalist/guitarist Gage Lindsay, they're pushing the limits of extreme music. The album was recorded at The Unknown Studio in Anacortes, WA, with Rich Canut III. It was expertly mastered by Adam Pike (Red Fang, Murder by Death) and Nate Abner (Graves at Sea).

To enjoy Melancholia's Book of Ruination, simply play it on your preferred music - playing device. You can use a CD player if you have a physical copy, or stream it on music platforms. For the best experience, find a quiet place and immerse yourself in the music. While listening, keep in mind that the album has intense themes, so it might not be suitable for light - hearted moments. If you have the physical CD, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent scratches. For digital copies, make sure your device is updated to avoid any playback issues.
