Melt is a French alt dark rock band inspired by the energy of metal, both dark and luminous atmospheres, and the relaxed despair of indie rock.

Melt originally started as a duo when vocalist Charlotte and guitarist Olivier met in October 2007. During the first 8 years of living together they created the first Melt demos, in what can only be described as chaos. The result was a very personal combination of rock and metal, the music is dark, but ironically Charlotte and Oliver formed the band in pursuit of light and hope in the world.

In 2015 these two roaming souls met Roméo (drums) and Jux (bass) – and so Melt could finally become a band, playing on every kind of stage in their area for the next 5 years.

Melt’s latest full-length album »The Secret Teaching Of Sorrow« was released in June 2020 via South African label Mongrel Records.

“Some bands do a great job of bridging the boundaries between rock and metal, which makes it difficult to classify their style and often lands them with the catch-all label: “alternative.” I’ve stopped trying to figure it out, myself. What matters is how a band connects with you on a heart level and Melt definitely does that and then some.” — Doomed & Stoned
