Out Now digitally on The Flenser
The new full-length album from Uboa, All the Dead Melt Down as Rain, is now available digitally via The Flenser.
Written and recorded almost entirely in the bedroom during a period of intense chronic illness, the album channels Xandra Metcalfe’s experience with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)—a condition that affects blood flow to the brain, leading to dizziness, brain fog, and fainting. The result is a haunting and immersive collection of tracks that blur the lines between harsh noise, depressive doom metal, death industrial, and avant-garde classical.
Built from rapid improvisations and shaped over several weeks, the album reflects the disorienting and isolating experience of illness. Drawing from Uboa’s earlier works like The Sky May Be and The Origin of My Depression, this new release expands on those themes with a deeper sense of physical vulnerability and sonic collapse. The final track revisits “Detransitioning,” the opening from Origin, reimagined here as a closing.
All the Dead Melt Down as Rain is dedicated to anyone enduring the unpredictably boring horror of chronic illness.
