Melting raw black metal with Mediterranean drum patterns and guitar scales was the idea and resulted in a phenomenal demo (As Jerusalem Burns) and a 7" EP (The Siege Of Lachish) which gained the band a certain popularity in the first place. However the first album As Jerusalem Burns… Al'Intisar was the one to put Jerusalem and Bethlehem on the map of extreme metal, making MELECHESH the first non-Israeli metal band from the Middle East to get signed - and the first ever metal band out of Jerusalem with a record deal. Ashmedi and the rest of the members eventually moved to Europe and USA in 1998 due to several demographic, artistic and socio-political reasons.    In 2008, MELECHESH took another big step and signed with Nuclear Blast Records.Their fifth album The Epigenesis. against all trends the band went eastwards rather than going for the norm being recorded in Istanbul's newly built first class Babajim Studio.Response to The Epigenesis were outstanding with several cover stories and album of the Month or of the year in numerous publications. Summer 2014 MELECHESH set off to record their 6th album entitled Enki, featuring 12 string electric guitars aside from the 6 string played on the entire album, for a heavier and subtly richer harmonic sound. The band also tuned their instruments to the pitch perfect 432 Hz frequency rather than the standardized 440 Hz one for a deeper sonic experience within the human psyche and in accordance to vibrations of the universe. Enki also features esteemed friends of the MELECHESH society guest vocalists Max Cavalera and Sakis Tolis as well as guest lead by Rob Caggiano. With this deep and personal album filled with metaphor, spiritual, and philosophical references, and further development of their own Mesopotamian Metal, MELECHESH are yet again ready to spread their sonic magic, enlightened revelations and art to the cosmos.

Melechesh have been doing it as well; furious black metal meets Sumerian (A region roughly where Iraq is now) they are however less well known than Nile probably because the subject matter is less well known, but really they deserve a lot more praise because their music is heavy and deeply absorbing.Enki is an epic piece of work which swings between violent, dirty thrashing and delicate melodic flourishes all the while imparting a sense of ages gone and time passed, this doesn’t mean the music is all dusty and old on the contrary it feels fresh and fiery like an unstoppable metal beast ravaging all it comes into contact with, while weaving up magical soundscapes.The album is a must buy if you like your music intelligent. Check out; ‘Multiple Truths’ and ‘Metatron and Man’ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing guitar etc *by P***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2015* Melechesh are unique, not always fast, in fact a lot of their music is quite stately but still "fast". Amazing guitar etc. As usual the last track on the album is truly impressive! They know how to end an album! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by D***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2015* Brilliant.
