Original Members: Kyle Borchgardt - lead vocals Brian Sulak - lead guitar, vocals Mark Mitchell - guitar Chris Irving -bass guitar Joe Creasman - drums The Return to Melancholy review, by Ink 19: Only in America could such ideologically and aesthetically disparate genres as metal-core, emo-rock, and death metal come together in a musical clash - let alone one so caustic and cathartic - as they do on Red Roses For a Blue Lady's debut album, The Return to Melancholy. To this writer's knowledge, no other bands are of Red Roses' ilk, but if they do exist, The Return to Melancholy will soon become the gold standard for the Gainesville, Florida quintet's contemporaries to aspire to. The most marked element on The Return to Melancholy is its chaos, which is hardly a pejorative term in the slightest. From song structures to the band's studied looseness, chaos permeates the whole record, staccato riffs raining down from every direction, blood boiling over during nearly every second, vocalist Kyle Borchgardt's pained growls barely steering the violence in a semi-linear direction, the whole bludgeon subtly belying the fact that Red Roses actually have tight chops but prefer to let the intensity breathe to its fullest extent. This bludgeon, however, is more than just a little sprinkled with weeping, mournful melody and, at times, stunning breakdowns replete with clean, chorused guitar; sure, Red Roses may go for the jugular more often than not, but there's more on their minds than me
