Melbourne Fall debut their rocking new single, "Ghost"
Review by Austin Sher
Released this past Friday on August 7th, Melbourne Fall released their brand new single, titled “Ghost”. Read along with us as break down our thoughts on what we thought of the track, as well as a bit of background on the band as well.
The five piece band from Southwest Germany was initially founded in 2013 and consists of a singer, two guitarists, bass guitarist and a drummer. The members of the band currently include Lukas, Andre, Andi, Dennis, and Martin. Together they make up for a huge and original heavy sound that we really enjoyed based off our first impressions of the track.
According to the band, “All this day to day madness is full of contrast, ever changing and sometimes as hard to cope with as the weather on a day of fall in Melbourne. Melbourne Fall's music is a reaction to this. Our own interpretation of Alternative Rock is based on thick riffs, groovy drum parts and catchy vocals.” A description as accurate as that regarding their sound is just begging for “Ghost” to be listened to.
Our immediate thoughts within the first 30 or so seconds is just how big the sound was. Listening on a nice pair of headphones, it felt as if I was transported to a live show of theirs and they were playing 5 feet away. What an experience. There weren’t really any moments in the song that dulled down or didn’t lack amounts of passion. The rolling basslines, the booming drums, and Lukas’ heavenly vocals made for a wonderful four minute track.
The guitars featured on the track stood out as well. Layer upon layer of inventive riffs and heavy tone that just sounded unbelievable. Considering this was our first foray into the band, we immediately had to go back and listen to some of their past discography, we recommend you do the same as well.
Overall, “Ghost” was a fantastic introduction to Melbourne Fall, we can honestly say that you’ve gained new fans today. If you’re looking for an inventive and heavy sound, definitely give this song a listen or two.
