Boston's metal heroes MELIAH RAGE release their brand new studio album, Barely Human through Screaming Ferret Wreckords in coordination with Escapi Music and Navarre Distribution on August 24th. A major North American tour will soon follow. Guitarist Anthony Nichols, guitarist Jim Koury and bass guitarist Jesse Johnson, all original members, are joined by new vocalist Paul Souza and drummer Barry Spillberg (formerly of WARGASM). Original vocalist Mike Munro decided not to take part in the Meliah Rage reunion in order to focus on family.ÊThe tracklisting for the release includes:'Hate Machine', 'Rigid', 'Invincible', 'Bloodbath', 'Barely Human', 'Hell Song', 'Ungodly', 'Motor Psycho', 'Wrong Place, Right Time.' Barely Human was produced by Joe Moody and Nichols. Moody also recorded and mixed the album at Danger Multitrack in Providence, RI. As an added bonus, the initial pressing of Barely Human will include a bonus disc, the previously unreleased album Unfinished Business, which features performances by GODSMACK's Sully Erna on drums. Originally recorded in 1992, the tracks on Unfinished Business were intended as demos in order to secure a new record deal, upon the band's departure from Epic Records.
