Melted: The Builders and The Butchers

A Deep Dive into the Soul of Dark Folk Storytelling

Frankie Hollywood here and we went all the way into the fire for this one. The Builders and The Butchers took over MELTED with Ryan Sollee in the studio bringing the stories straight from the source. This was not just an interview. This was a full deep dive into the sound, the stories, and the soul behind the band.

We talked about the journey from Alaska roots to Portland streets and what drives the fire behind the music. From start to finish, this session captured the dark folk and raw soul storytelling that hits deep and stays there long after the mics go cold.
