MELDRUM is an international, hard rock metal band that toured worldwide with Lemmy Kilmister's
Motörhead, Zakk Wylde's
Black Label Society,
Sepultura,
Danzig,
Nashville Pussy, and have shared the stage with many more. Touting a combination of mammoth vocal styles with aggressively melodic vocals, mind bending guitar riffs, and a rhythm section that creates fiercely bombastic grooves, is what gives
MELDRUM their unique, cutting edge sound.
Featuring a new lineup in 2008, their new members include metal vocalist Michele Madden (
Tourettes) and Laura Christine (
Warface, Damnation) on bass guitar.
Michelle Meldrum, raised by parents in the entertainment business, began her career when she and drummer, Gene Hoglan, started their first band
Wargod. Gene went on to notoriety with
Death, Dark Angel, Testament and
Strapping Young Lad, while Michelle founded
Phantom Blue (on
Shrapnel,
Roadrunner, and
Geffen Records). While her career flourished, she moved to Sweden to form
MELDRUM. After many successful tours, she reunited with Gene in 2006 when he appeared as a guest on
MELDRUM album and events. Inspired to once again collaborate, Michelle moved back to America where they began writing the next
MELDRUM album together. Gene also appears in
Dethklok, the band for the animated cartoon
Metalocalypse that airs on
Nickelodeon's
Adult Swim.
Enter Michele Madden: amazonian goddess and lyricist/vocalist of Australian band,
Tourettes. Receiving much attention through the media for her uniquely unsurpassed vocal stylings, she performed at European festivals
Wacken Open Air and
Big Day Out, and as a guest on
Strapping Young Lad's album
Alien.
Meldrum then recruited Laura Christine of
Warface, who rose to the challenge by expanding her repertoire from guitar to bass. With Warface she has received recognition through Pit Magazine and Metal Maniacs. Her contribution of low end bass frequencies help round out
MELDRUM's new sound.
With that, the new tracks
MELDRUM will unveil now trump anything previously unleashed from an already potent venture. Keep checking back, there is much more news to come from this amazing team of players who have proven to confront and prevail over any obstacle triumphantly.
