248 - Alex Hill & Toby Thomas (Mélancolia)
Description
“Take some f***ing risks.” That's the mantra behind Naarm/Melbourne metallers Mélancolia and their uncompromising sophomore LP, ‘random.access.misery,’ out now through Greyscale and Nuclear Blast Records.
Vocalist and creative hive mind Alex Hill joins the show this week alongside bassist Toby Thomas to talk about why white is really more goth than black, why the future is forever shiny, blue, and chrome, why “blackened nu metal” is both a provocation and a challenge, and why the mighty fridge cigarette is the frostiest beverage of them all.
