About
_____

| *"Apple Kallisti, Now!"* - the very name implies what this album is all about:
| Applekallistic soundscapes devoted to the goddess of strife and discord.
  Without a record deal, it took Mêlon Kallisti almost four years of this
  strife and discord to put their revelations of doom and gloom down on cd,
  doing almost everything by themselves, even the special C64-Floppy-case.
| Evolved from the hibernation of a folkloristic Black Metal-experiment in
  2006, Mêlon Kallisti (under the former moniker Jack Pudding) was given form
  by initiator and guitarist Hendrik Koop-Lampe, who gathered an exquisite
  circle of good friends and long-serving comrades.
| This circle is given the status of some sort of allstar-band through the fact
  that they all are or were part of several namable bands and in parts made far
  more extreme music in their lifes before.
| The completely diverse musical background of its members is not an obstacle
  for the creative work of the band, but is rather solely used to realise the
  vision of the most extensive musical autonomy and uniqueness.
| Way beyond any limitations of genre, anankasms of self-localisation and
  self-imposed restrictions, Mêlon Kallisti are striving for the prior goal of
  being an independent artistic identity.
| Besides of almost everything, what the history of rock-music has to offer,
  from Arcturus to ZZ Top, they primarily get their inspiration from moments of
  being almost meditatively lost in thought, forgetting about the self and the
  world.
| Without sounding self-pitying and sniveling thereby, Mêlon Kallisti on the
  contrary combine a melancholic and pensive atmosphere and a violent
  psychedelic heavyness.
