Meleeh are a five piece hardcore band from Sweden
who formed back in 2004, the band are heavily influenced
by Children Of The Fall as well as many other varied
bands and music styles. The band are quite heavy
and having opted for really loud aggressive screamo
vocals which is best compared to Thursday front
man Geoff Rickly's vocals on the bands earlier material.
The EP is eight tracks long which is just about
enough to get a taster of what Meleeh are all
about. 'Angstridden' opens the EP with some really
powerful guitar riffs, the drums kick in sounding
quite tinny and soon after the vocals come in
but sound like they have either been recorded
under water or the producer messed up, either
way luckily enough the vocals don’t sound
bad for long as the aggressiveness soon comes
in.
'Where Demons Hunt' has a really killer instrumental
introduction and this is where frontman Thomas
Floren's vocals really do shine and sound quite
chaotic in the aggressive nature. The EP closes
with 'Black Blizzard' a song that is straight
up hardcore rock with some really memorable riffs.
After listening to the EP a few times you will
notice that Meleeh are a band who don’t
piss about and don’t mix genres, the band
claim to be a hardcore band and that’s exactly
what they sound like from start to finish, there
is no genre crossovers and you get exactly what
it says on the tin, if you are looking for an
aggressive half an hour then look no further than
'Heartland' as the Swedish boys Meleeh have made
just that.
3/5
