Melodyssey – ‘All Your Way’
The Australian melodic rock scene is a crowded place to be. The Butterfly Effect, Cog, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, Sleep Parade and dozens of lesser bands are headlining shows and pumping out music that dudes can sink piss to, but also enjoy with their girlfriend.
Melodyssey are a hard rock band from the Sunshine Coast who formed and released their debut album Distance and Regret in the earlier part of this decade, long before the genre became overcrowded. “All Your Way” from their latest release The Two Windows sees vocalist Lance Howard’s slightly disconcerting alto pierce through a grinding mesh of guitars and drums, like a more mature version of nu-metal.
The band isn’t touring much now that drummer Luke Williams is a permanent member of Dead Letter Circus, but you should buy their album The Two Windows. It’s really good.
