Melbourne Metal outfit Melting share new single The Sword, a punishing burst of raging power off their upcoming sophomore EP, A Pathetic Excuse For A Life out Friday 29 May via Greyscale Records.
Clocking in at just 1:01, The Sword doesn’t waste a single second getting to the point. Driven by a rapid-fire rhythm section and a chugging backbone, the track is unrelenting. While much of the EP leans into darker, more personal territory, The Sword stands out as one of its more outwardly uplifting offerings.
Guitarist Alex Bertuna explains: “The EP as a whole tackles some very personal, dark and heavy topics for Xavier, but I wrote The Sword to be something of a ‘stop letting life happen to you’ kind of thing. Stop begging for guidance, figure it out yourself, hold the f*ckin sword.”
