MELANCHOHOLICS - 'A Single Act Of Carelessness' CD (Multi National Disaster Records / Deafborn)
Building on the experimentations from their debut CD (with a mix of field-recordings, guitars, electronically manipulated sounds and spoken word fragments), Melanchoholics walk new paths, combining minimal guitars, drones, low-end bass and lo-fi electronic sound collages. The only consensus is to create slow, depressive soundscapes. A soundtrack to personal miserable states of mind, psychotic euphoria and intoxicated wastelands. It is a low-end manifesto for low-end connoisseurs.

MELANCHOHOLICS - 'Masking My Monkeys' 7" (Drone Records)
This German trio Melanchoholics work on dark guitarish and very filmic sound-drones, "thick atmospheric darkness" at its best. With a background rooted in Death Metal and Grindcore as well as in Industrial, they still use guitar, bass and electronic sounds, but their aim is to explore the realms of loneliness and melancholy by sculpting almost filmic atmospheres with not much aggression. Their first vinyl release is filled with beautiful accordion drones, desert-like guitars, electronic sounds and voice-samples, thus enlarging the "classic" drone sound in a very fruitful way. First edition of 300 copies on dark blue vinyl in silk-screened covers (various colours) with insert.
