MELTIFICATION was formed by veteran of the Copenhagen hardcore scene, Tue Sprogø (Death Token, Asbest, Deformation). Sprogø’s passion for classic grindcore lead him to team with ex-Imperious Mortality drummer Thomas Rindom. The band gives life to an absolute bulldozer of an album, marked with fast, hectic blastbeats and crushingly heavy grooves.

In addition to writing the music, and recording all of the guitars, bass and vocals, Sprogø also illustrated the album’s artwork.

Meltification was recorded, mixed and mastered by Lasse Ballade at Ballade studios in Copenhagen, Denmark.
