If you’re unfamiliar with them, Melted Bodies is a four piece that formed in 2015 and who’ve become known in the LA underground for their chaotic, energetic, and unpredictable live shows and sharing the stage with the likes of Red Fang, Kikagaku Moyo, Horse the Band, Machine Girl and others. In 2020 they released their debut album, Enjoy Yourself, just in time for Covid to hit. It earned them high marks from critics and was one of the year’s most popular metal records on Bandcamp. Their next album, comprised of three unique EPs, takes much of the physical energy and harsh honest lyrics from Enjoy Yourself, and expands it with a more internalized lyrical approach and new musical ideas. The Inevitable Fork is the next chapter for Melted Bodies, but for a band designed around reflecting our idea of metal, music conventions, and America’s idea of itself back on us with glaring intensity, this is just the beginning of their story.
