The Future Is History!
Over the past decade (and then some), The Melismatics have built a substantial catalog of unreleased material.  This Fall, Pravda Records will be releasing “The Future Is History,” a compilation of Melismatics tracks that have slipped through the cracks for the world to hear.  Discover some of the earliest Melismatics recordings known to man, cut in the formative years of the band.  You’ll also hear live staples you may recognize from shows, but that never made it onto an album thus far.  Exact street date is TBD, but look for it this Fall! 

ARE YOU KIDDING???!!!

Don’t have a copy of our latest album, “Rising Tide” yet?  It’s time to rectify that.  Check your immediate left to read what the critics are saying about it, then think for yourself!
