Review by Curt Maly

Melancholeric by Injustice: A Gritty Dive into Metalcore Mastery If you’re a fan of heavy riffs, guttural screams, and melodies that cut deeper than a serrated knife, Melancholeric by Injustice might just be the album to knock your socks off. Released in 2008 under Firefield Records, this German powerhouse blends metalcore with melodic death metal in ways that feel both raw and refined. Produced by Peter Grützman (who also handled recording and mixing), the album delivers an unrelenting punch while letting its intricate details shine through. The band’s lineup is stacked with talent—Johannes Barth's versatile vocals oscillate between haunting cleans and ferocious growls, Max Zimmermann and Tom Wassilewsky shred on guitars like there’s no tomorrow, Falk Steinert lays down thunderous basslines, and Nicolas Trost smashes his drum kit as if it owes him money. Bloodboy DigitalArts deserves a shoutout too for crafting artwork that perfectly matches the album's dark, brooding vibe. Now let’s get into the tracks. With twelve songs clocking in at over an hour, Melancholeric doesn’t waste time throwing listeners into the deep end. Two standout tracks worth mentioning are “Downfall” and “As Flames Burn Memories…” “Downfall” kicks things off with a bang—or rather, a barrage of riffs so sharp they could slice steel. The interplay between clean and harsh vocals creates tension, drawing you into the chaos. It’s one of those opening tracks that grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go. You’ll find yourself nodding along even if you didn’t mean to. What sticks with me most is how the chorus manages to be catchy without losing its edge—a rare feat in heavier genres. On the other hand, “As Flames Burn Memories…” slows things down just enough to hit differently. This track leans more into the melodic side of their sound, weaving atmospheric guitar work with poignant lyrics. There’s something about the way the instrumentation builds up before crashing back into full-on aggression—it feels cinematic but never overblown. It’s the kind of song that lingers long after the final note fades. Other highlights include “Welcome To The Pit,” which lives up to its title with relentless energy, and “Fear At Last,” where Johannes’ vocal range truly shines. Even slower-paced cuts like “When Leafs Of Red Roses Turn Into Grey” bring emotional weight without dragging the momentum. What makes Melancholeric stand out isn’t just its technical prowess; it’s the balance between brutality and beauty. Sure, some transitions feel slightly abrupt, and not every track lands perfectly, but these minor flaws only add character. After all, perfection can sometimes feel sterile, and this album has personality in spades. Reflecting on Melancholeric, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with metalcore in the first place—it’s music that punches hard but still leaves room for introspection. Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about listening to a German band nail this style with such authenticity. Who knew melancholy could sound this electrifying? Final thought? If you ever meet someone who says metalcore lacks depth, hand them this album—and maybe duck afterward because their mind will explode.
