MELLA Release New Single 'DENNIS REYNOLDS, A GOLDEN GOD'

Detroit-based alt/progressive post-hardcore band Mella has released a video for their new single, 'Dennis Reynolds, A Golden God,' recorded and engineered by Frank Mitaritonna (Taking Back Sunday, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Kevin Devine).

Equal Vision Records, kill iconic records and Mella presented 'Dennis Reynolds, A Golden God,' the new single from the Detroit, MI-based, alt/post-hardcore band. The band had the following to share about the new track: 'The cycle of life in microcosm, Dennis aims to paint a picture of bottling in one's complex emotions, releasing them in various ways, and trying to prevent oneself from falling back on dark coping mechanisms. Themes of acceptance and regret dance around one another in this somber summary of a few months of life.'

Mella will be making appearances across the U.S. with Kurt Travis, Resilia and Makari in select markets through Wednesday, December 2.

With roots in raw emotion and an ear for detail, the members of Mella — Danny Ray McCool Jr. (vocals), James Lucas Artwohl (bass, keys) and Luke Martucci (drums) — blend intricate instrumentation, dynamic shifts, and lyrical vulnerability to create something that hits hard and lingers longer on its new showcase, Or So I've Been Told… Their sound pulls from the intensity of post-hardcore, the introspection of emo, and the unpredictability of progressive structures, without ever losing sight of the song itself. Whether on stage or in the studio, Mella doesn't aim to relive a scene; they're building something new from the bones of what moved them in the first place.

Or So I've Been Told…, produced by Mike Watts, is available now via Equal Vision Records / kill iconic records.
