Meleeh, from Sweden is one of the surprises this month. Creating a sound somewhere between Cease upon the Capital, some ATDI riffs, a slight taste of Envy and some screamo/hardcore bands. Summary: there happens a lot on this cd.

On first listening, you noticed the amount of riffs that are flying around your head. But you also notice the quality of song writing. Nowadays, there are a lot of spherical emo bands, Meleeh doesn’t copy them, but just take cool elements from them. They don’t choke in technical parts, but manage to create an open sound.

However, they don’t use very often slower parts, wich can add the variation and keep things interesting.

But they just push for half an hour straight on, so no post-rock influenced stuff here, but high energic hardcore/screamo, with some memorizable riffs and hooks (“Angstridden’, ‘The Doom’ .)

After a few listenings Meleeh will find it’s way back to your cd player over and over, and don’t be surprised you find yourself screaming their riffs and lyrics along with them. Cool sounding effort, this’ Heartland’ from promising newcomers Meleeh.
