Bruce Mel's guest vocals with Mechina led me to check out her solo stuff, which is unsurprisingly wonderful. Her voice and style are at once powerful, vulnerable and mesmerizing. Only downside is I'm left wanting more. Favorite track: Hurricane.

Brian Dempsey Perusing Spotify this week I selected a random playlist entitled "metal goddess" and found Melrose singing "Cryoshock" with Machina. The cryptic and mesmerizing voice of Mel was enough to send me searching for her material elsewhere and I landed here. Original, solid, and impressive. Big fan now and I can't wait to hear new stuff! Fav tracks are If I... and All Fall Down Favorite track: If I....

The female vocals are good in Mechina so I was curious to hear her stuff in solo. I wasn't expected something Metal and I was gladly surprise at first. However, all tracks sound familiar among themselves but the final product is solid and there is potential to hearing from this. Favorite track: Hypnotized.

Andrew Lovell I'm normally not an avid fan of the style of metal on this EP, but landed here when searching the source of those magnificent female vocals on Mechina's Acheron album. When I found Melissa Rosenberg's Melrose project, I was immediately drawn to not only her fantastic and individual singing, but also the quality of the actual songs. This is metal done right, the melodies hit you straight away and stay with you, and I am now a fan. I can't wait to see what she does next... Favorite track: Hurricane.
GeN2Mo
GeN2Mo thumbnail
GeN2Mo Metal-infused Pop/Pop Rock with some sparks of Prog influence and carried by vocal hooks provided by a great singer who never plays it safe, never relies on cheese over melodic substance.
Pop Metal done right. Favorite track: Hypnotized.

If I... 03:29
If I went under your skin Made you feel your fingertips electrified Maybe I would realize this isn't something that you can just compromise If I sit and listen Try to make you understand this isn't my plan This sinking sand reaching out my hands Try to fight it out or let it go Take it really fast or way too slow There's no way of knowing just what it takes to get through (X2) If I tried to take it all back Disappear make you wanna wonder If I had realized this isn't something that you can compromise If I gained control of myself Showed you that even the damaged can heal Try to fight it out or let it go Take it really fast or way too slow There's no way of knowing just what it takes to get through (X2) If I (Recall: It makes you wonder) If I (Recall: These lifeless outcomes) If I (Recall: We are the future) If I (Recall: Electricity; we will remember) Try to fight it out or let it go Take it really fast or way too slow There's no way of knowing just what it takes to get through

Hypnotized 03:25
Can't tell you how I feel in times like these Memories, they come alive Haunting my mind The movement in the dark sets a burning spark You really think you mean something to me, You're just a beautiful face and so out of place I can see right through your eyes I can see passed all the lies Come to far to drown in this Just keep running away Giving up every part of you I can taste your fear Don't you feel so hypnotized? Thought you had me, but I'm alive I can see right through your eyes I can see passed all the lies Come to far to drown in this Just keep running away Giving up every part of you I can taste your fear Don't look through the window (Recall: Through the window) You won't see me (Recall: won't see me) Fighting all of my demons (Recall: demons) From somewhere deep within You really made a big mistake by giving up on me Taught me everything was just a lie Eat my heart out It's not me who needs you I tried to show you the light The only thing I gained from you was an endless night The black hole inside your chest consumes the life of things and every time I back away the silence just gets loud The strength of an enemy was confused with the end of me Try to push me all the way down Actually lifted me from the ground I can see right through your eyes I can see passed all the lies I can see right through your eyes I can see passed all the lies

Everything that you feel Everything that you see was just a moment in time and time just isn't kind Don't you know that I can't run away From the world that I'm trying to save It may be a lost cause, but now I can see A journey alone is not a journey at all Nothing Lasts Forever Time may not be kind but time stops in your arms in the end nothing Nothing Lasts Forever It doesn't matter if you think I'm crazy 'cuz I'll always be around Everything that you think you have seen was not the last of me Don't you know that I can't run away from the world that I'm trying to leave behind A journey alone is not a journey at all Nothing Lasts Forever Time may not be kind but time stops in your arms in the end nothing Nothing Lasts Forever Nothing Lasts Forever Nothing Lasts Forever This moment in time Just isn't Kind A journey alone is not a journey at all Nothing Lasts Forever Time may not be kind but time stops in your arms in the end nothing Nothing Lasts Forever

In this empty house, the faith, it seems so weak If you only knew the colors that minds can make With every step you take just remember when you promised me you'd never leave Lets start this dreaming that you have talked so much about, about We'll all fall down Get lost forever and never spill a single word, a word They'll never know In everything I mend These words you comprehend Deserve these words you've never heard Lets say I won the battle I'll leave you all behind Standing there One by one watch you all fall down With every step you take just remember when you promised me you'd never leave Lets start this dreaming that you have talked so much about, about We'll all fall down Get lost forever and never spill a single word, a word They'll never know Lets start this dreaming that you have talked so much about, about We'll all fall down Get lost forever and never spill a single word, a word They'll never know

Hurricane 03:22
You started telling me to let you in but when I feel, it just never ends You think of patterns and your place in time Just close your eyes & 1,2,3 you’re mine These circles & fake smiles start their breathing Your posture just couldn’t be more deceiving You think of patterns and your place in time Just close your eyes & 1,2,3 We’ll drop to the floor make a mess, take our lives like a hurricane (x3) Well come on baby reach a little bit higher How are you supposed to trust without desire? I think of patterns & my place in time Just close my eyes & 1,2,3 you’re mine One day you’ll be alone and start to wonder, "How did I ever end up this far under?” I think of patterns & my place in time Just close my eyes & 1,2,3 We’ll drop to the floor make a mess, take our lives like a hurricane (x3) Don’t underestimate it, We don’t know what it’s capable of Its fury’s feared and hated You’ll find out what I’m capable of (x2) We’ll drop to the floor make a mess, take our lives like a hurricane (x4)
