Fleddy Melculy is a Dutch-language Belgian metal band.

Fleddy Melculy started as a joke band created by Jeroen Camerlynck, who was active in the rock band De Fanfaar. The name (a play on Freddie Mercury) was deliberately silly.[1]

Their debut single T-shirt van Metallica was an immediate success, and the band signed with Sony Music.[2] In 2016 their first ep Wat de fok? and first album, Helgië, appeared, and the band played on Pukkelpop.[1] In 2017 they played as opening act for Guns N' Roses at TW Classic.

Their debut album peaked at #2 in the charts in 2016 and their second album, De kerk van Melculy, reached #1 on the official Flemish charts in February 2018.[3] Their concert that year at Graspop was released as a live album.
