Melted is a Turkish band formed in Ankara in 2019 by Ceyhun Yücel and Mustafa Şardan with an intent of playing a dynamic mixture of post-hardcore, noise rock and alternative rock. The band released a 5-song Demo EP in 2019, followed by a 2-song single called “Void” in the first quarter of 2020. After several member changes, Arda Koçakoğlu has joined the band in 2020. Afterwards, "Lake Person" single was released in the second half of 2020 and a song "Meaningless Walls" by Hedonistic Noise was interpreted in the album "Reddiye: A Tribute to Hedonistic Noise". In 2021, the band started to work on their debut LP titled "Lack of Belonging" which was released on all digital platforms on April 29, 2022. In 2023, Ege Tülek has joined the band as second guitarist.
Influenced by the alternative scene and DIY music of the late 80's/early 90's, the band tries to reflect these influences in their songs, both musically and culturally
