Melechesh på vej med deres 6. studiealbum
Melechesh: "Kongen af ild" på hebraisk
Det Israelske thrashing black metal band Melechesh er på vej med deres 6. studiealbum. Bandet har udgivet en trailer forud for albummet »Enki« - en efterfølger for 2010's »The Epigenesis«. Albummet har en imponerende gæsteliste bestående af Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Killer Be Killed), Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ) og Rob Caggiano (Volbeat, ex-Anthrax).
Frontfigur Ashmedi fortæller, at bandet selvsagt er glade for det imponerende gæstemusikere som det er lykkes dem, at få med på albummet.
"I am flattered and honored to have esteemed guests appear on this multifaceted album. »Enki« solicited different approaches and new experiences. Max is a lion - I love his voice and the tribal and historic parallels of our lives are uncanny, he did an amazing job on 'Lost Tribes'. Sakis is an old friend and we toured together in the past. His voice added another dimension of mysticism on our 'Enki - Divine Nature Awoken'. Rob and I always wanted to collaborate and he is an agile and excellent guitar player so the lead he did on 'The Palm, the Eye and Lapis Lazuli' was perfect , it rocks and serves the track well. They all did an outstanding job and went above and beyond to make it happen despite their busy schedules.
Max Cavalera fortæller, at det var en ære at få lov til at deltage på albummet. Max er en stor fan af »The Epigenesis« som han mener er et af de bedste extreme metal albums nogensinde.
"I was very honored that MELECHESH asked me to sing on their new album! I'm a big fan and I think »The Epigenesis« is on of the greatest extreme metal records ever done! I love the fact that they come from a different part of the world like me. So our worlds finally collide! Long live MELECHESH!"
Albummet er optaget i Grækenland i samarbejde med producer Giorgos Bokos og mixet af Jonas Kjellgren i Black Lounge Studios i Sweden
»Enki« udkommer den 27. februar
