About Me
Melgoth project (before called Nemesis) took up in 2002, after Diatriba (the first name of the band) broke up; the first line up was composed by Roberto (guitar), Gabby (bass) and Beppe (drum) who previously played with suckseggs. When university studies began, another member joined the band, Gian, front man of the group and initially the second guitar too. After the first music experiences as a rock group, the four guys were ready for a more mature and complex project.
After that, at the beginnings of 2004, there was a breakup period, because of the incomprehensions among the members of the group and some personal problems. Even if some members carried on playing together, in order to develop their passion for the music, that period was characterized by tension and intolerance. A couple of months later, Gianluca decided to rejoin the band, exclusively devoting himself to the vocal section. In 2005 another member joined Nemesis crew: Alessandro; its entrance brings new and peculiar sonorities to the group, due to his passion for the “love-metal†and the “Finnish-metal†represented by groups like Him, Sentenced and Entwine.
Best line up desirable is now ready to begin a project devoted to the heavy metal! The greater musical influences come from groups like Metallica, Him, Black Sabbath, Guns ‘n Roses, Helloween, Sentenced, Trivium, Judas Priest. At the end of 2006 Nemesis started out writing their own songs, expressing their style to the fullest.
With a renewed spirit of group, in order to underline the individual and common growth, the members decided to change the name of the band: at the beginnings of 2007 Melgoth was born.
Melgoth style is fast and electric, with a peculiar union of vivacious and hard tones, a mix between melodic metal and hard rock at the same time. The rhythms are sometimes fast and strong, other times soft and delicate, but always emotionally involving.
