From Burlington, NC; MELKIAH is a spin-off from another band. What the bands name was?? Lets put it like this, no one can really recall the name because the experience from it was not everything they could've hoped it to be. The only important thing about that band, was the vocalist, drummer and guitarist would leave that band to form Benjamin's Box with bassist Michael Bingham. They played for nearly a year before Michael would leave for Tennesee to persue his athletic career. The band took a break from each other during the year of 2000 while some other members played with other bands. In Feb/March of 2002, two of the members from Benjamin's Box started practicing and brought in the cousin of the drummer and vocalist to play bass. So far it was only the original drummer(David), guitarist(Andre), and bassist(Steve) that were practicing. Later on, they brought back the vocalist(Eric). The first couple of months was a struggle for the 4 members with only one original song and a few improv songs. Since then, the band has improved and is now known as MELKIAH. MELKIAH is still working hard, with few gigs so far looking for that big break.

Its hard to say what genre MELKIAH follows under. Every song is different ranging from blues to grunge, from hard rock to alternative. Each of MELKIAH's songs' change in the way that life is constantly changing. Each one with its own meaning and its own feel, putting out profound emotions. The music of MELKIAH consists of solos, experiments with uncoventional forms and structures and abstract tonal atmospheres.
