Melissa holds a Master’s degree in “vocal performance with emphasis on opera” from Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music, has performed many opera roles and is the current lead singer for symphonic metal band Echoterra.

Commented VoidWork in a statement: “We warmly welcome Melissa and her amazing voice and look forward to the new dimension she will certainly add to our music. Together with Ann-Mari Thim (Arcana, Seventh Harmonic), she will be heard on the next release, ‘Basement’, which is scheduled for an autumn 2010 release.”

Speaking about the project, Melissa had this to say: “I’m very excited to be working on dark, ambient music again with Xavier and Ann-Mari. When Xavier wrote me about singing in VoidWork, I was instantly charmed by what I heard. It will be a great complement to my work in Echoterra and I can’t wait to begin diving into these masterpieces.”
