“Hardcore as it should be played” – that´s what Meleeh have been embracing the last 6 years of their existence and till this very day they are still holding on to that statement like it was a matter of life or death. They are a hardworking band whose goal always has been to have albums that measure up to their live sound. Their albums are a bit political and sadden but also sore and tender to give their own persona to the music they create.
As for the upcoming 3rd album called “To live and die alone” on Black Star Foundation nothing much has changed, except for this album they have grown a bit. They have raised the bar to a level that they control very well and giving Fredrik Gillhagen a chance to shine on his drums. The drums are the center of this album but the melodic guitar sound is a crushing factor why “To live and die alone” is Meleeh´s best work to date. Remember I said they´ve grown? This is where they have grown, on this specific area they have improved massively and you can tell they are more confident in their making of the music and it give us the listener an experience out of the ordinary.
Lyrically speaking, this album might be the darkest one so far. It´s an album describing in detail how the pain is eating you up from the inside and making you carry this burden so heavy that no man can carry. It´s about being all alone in this world and everyone has abandon you. “Hatred has conquered it will not sleep. Life demise forever pierced through me” that´s two sentences from the 3rd track called “What I carry on every heartbeat” and it´s my absolute favorite. The song itself is pretty dark but the melodic guitars makes it even darker. It´s perfect in every aspect from the vocals by Thomas Florén to the drums. It´s one of those songs that just clicks right away. It´s a song with the heaviest sound mixed with the finest guitar lines you could imagine and on top of that you have the chaotic vocals, whichs adds up to be a perfect song.

But as from the rest of the album it might take you some time before it will click for you, it´s an album that you need to pay attention to as it has a lot of emotions going on and could be hard to bring it all in. But, once all the emotions reached your soul there’s no going back, you will be hooked forever. If you want to understand why they chose their album title “To live and die alone” you need to check out the middle and last track, which carries the titles of the album.
