MELT MOTIF

A band so unique, you might be reminded of Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack or HEALTH. (9/10)
Take Effect

Rakel’s voice, I haven’t heard one so deep and beautiful in a long time, seems to be born in the afterlife. It makes its way through industrial ruins, cinematic atmospheres darker than black holes and the heartbeat grows from song to song.
Suffissocore

‘Particles. Death Objective’ is an album of high class. An electronica album that fits like a glove. Play it loud in a dark room or just enjoy it with headphones on. It sounds simply wonderful..
Puls

Melt Motif should be the breakout stars of 2023 with new album ‘Particles. Death Objective’. If there is any justice in the world then by the end of the year this little know band from Bergen in Norway should be on everyone’s radar.
Ramzine

Particles. Death Objective is proof that electronica can be artful in a frugal way when done right. And this one is spot on.
Rock Music Raider

“Particles…” is a fascinating album in which it is easy to get lost in, because there is so much here that tickles you in the right places. It has the nerve, weight and accessibility that have made so many musicians before them great.
Bergens Tidende

Particles is one of the best pop albums of the year so far.
Exposé

Melt Motif’s Particles. Death Objective, takes the listener on a roller coaster ride…
Mxdwn

Cinematic in scope and feel, crammed with great ideas, and capable of keeping the listener engaged from beginning to end, this is one eclectic and original-sounding record that the openminded listeners out there ought to make a note of.
Eternal Terror

Brazilian Cult Magazine writes about Melt Motif and the ‘Particles. Death Objective’ album.
Cult Magazine

Melt Motive mix female perspective with dark visuals and soundscapes, bringing together something beautifully unsettling, musically profound and all-round morish for fans of the genre.

Reviews

Singles from
Particles. Death Objective

Broken Floor

It’s dusty
Disgusting
Walking in wet concrete
That smell
Decay
These books can not be read

My mouth
My teeth
Are sliding out of me
Can’t talk
Can’t see
Can’t feel my heart beat

Black oil and blood is dripping backwards
My skin is
Absorbed by
The broken floor

It’s dusty
Discusting
Walking in wet concrete
That smell
Decay
These books can not be read

White noise is pumping out of nothing
I’m falling
I’m crawling
The broken floor

The candle light is burning faster
I see my dead body
The broken floor

Full Moon

A million eyes make me invincible
A minute lasts and starts all over again
They are
I am
We are
Nobody
I hide
I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
I walk away

I am a killer
I am behind
I am a killer on the run
And I am nowhere to be found
I hide behind a mask and no one can destroy my face

This city makes me untouchable
The city lights shine through my eyes
They are
I am
We are
Nobody
I hide
I walk away

I am a killer
I am behind
I am a killer on the run
And I am nowhere to be found
I hide behind a mask and no one can destroy my face

No one can destroy my face
No one can destroy my face
No one can destroy my face
No one can destroy my face

I am a killer
I am behind
I am a killer
I am a killer
A killer
I am a killer
I am the full moon

Warrior

We are colliding
In high velocity
This is delusion
This is illusion

We Are particles
Death objective
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger

Don’t you worry now
I will carry on
I’ll go searching on my own
I’m a warrior
I don’t carry love
I’ll go hunting on my own

Leave me omega
Sand and oil
Open fracture
Sealed forever

We Are particles
Death objective
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger

Don’t you worry now
I will carry on
I’ll go searching on my own
I’m a warrior
I don’t carry love
I’ll go hunting on my own

I’m a warrior
I’m a warrior
I’m a warrior
I’m a warrior

I’m Gone

You were perfectly
Wrong when you took me
You drew the short straw
I bewitched you
What a bad decision
To follow my path
It changed the game plan
Now we are long apart

I don’t know how to do this shit
I don’t know how to stop
I don’t know where it takes me now
But I Know
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone

Where I Want to Die

I’ve got a new piece
It’s from sixty-nine
Makes me feel like
I’m flying high
Looking down from the moon
Looking down from the moon

This place
This time
Can’t end
I don’t wanna go
Heat on
Freeze time
Gimme more
I don’t wanna go
This is where I wanna die
This is where I wanna die

Looking in the mirror
I. Smile at me
Some drops of blood
I’m magnificent
I’m staring at the sun
I’m staring at the sun

This place
This time
Can’t end
I don’t wanna go
Heat on
Freeze time
Gimme more
I don’t wanna go
This is where I wanna die
This is where I wanna die

Never/Again

I’m walking the ocean
Farther and deeper
Its cold it’s hurtful
I’m feeling warmer
Under the the water
Holding my breath
I’m counting seconds
I’m gonna make it

I punish myself for your mistakes
It will never happen again
You are so vain
I hurt myself
It will never happen again
Again
Again
It will never happen again

It’s cold
It’s hurtful
I’m feeling
I’m warmer

I punish myself for your mistakes
It will never happen again
You are so vain
I hurt myself
It will never happen again
Again
Again
It will never happen again

I punish myself for your mistakes
It will happen again

Chainsaw

You think you can
Say my name
Did you
Not learn
From Your mother
Anyway
Now you are here
Anyway
You’re not prepared

I am the one you will regret you ever met
Chainsaw
I am the one you will try your best to forget
Chainsaw

You think my place is your space
You think I’ll listen
I’m not your business
Anyway
Now you are here
Anyway
You’re not prepared

I am the one you will regret you ever met
Chainsaw
I am the one you will try your best to forget
Chainsaw

I am the one you will regret you ever met

Leave it All Behind

Unconscious
Annihilation
This is the end
This is the end
This is the end

I surrender to this city
It is done and we will leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
This is the end

Can’t undestroy
Forever never
It is broken, we will leave it all behind

Under black clouds
Day was night
It is burned and we will leave it all behind
Forever never
No more. Nothing

This is the end
This is the end
This is the end

I will do my time
In this city
It is over, we will leave it all behind

Abyss

No one knows
What’s going on
No one knows
In the abyss
It’s meaningless
Strobing lights
It’s meaningless
In the abyss
In the abyss

He found the target
Deep underground
It was beyond recall
But it wasn’t him

In the abyss
In the abyss
In the abyss
In the abyss

Fever

Forgive me
I’m sorry
For putting light into
Ment to be without
A room that’s ment to be without

Love
Love
Love
The fever is for real

Fulfill me
I need you
Leave me out of sight for… tonight
I promise to never
Pollute your empty space
I will return alone

Love
Love
Love
The fever is for real
Love
