Melechesh begin recording new album

Posted by AP on 15/08/14

Melechesh have begun working on their sixth album (tentatively titled "Enki", which they will release through Nuclear Blast on an as-of-yet undisclosed date, at the Grindhouse Studio in Athens, Greece, where they will spend the next six weeks recording. Frontman Ashmendi offered the following comments:


Again we chose to record in a Mediterranean area to capture the MELECHESH essence. We have many good friends here and have toured with some Greek bands over the years and everyone here is being very helpful to this work. In keeping with our tradition all songs are diverse and tell different stories both lyrically and musically, from the black thrash to the ritualistic tribal tunes to the more in your face rocking and neck breaking songs. Last couple of years where extremely challenging for me and this rubbed on the album for the better, abstract moods such as  post-enlightenment depth, sonic magick, anger and retribution. Metaphorically speaking, it is a Sumerian sonic deluge to cleanse us from  drones, parasites and insects interpret that as you see fit.

The line-up involved in "Enki" comprises the following members:


Ashmendi - vocals, guitars, percussion & traditional instrumentation

Scorpios - bass guitars, backing vocals

Narsam - drums

Moloch - traditional instruments, guitar


With the exception of Moloch, this will also be the band's touring line-up.
