June 26, 2009, 15 years ago
Mesopotamian black thrashers MELECHESH have issued the following update:
"Ashmedi and Moloch are locked up in Sulphonic recording studio in Rotterdam working on demos for the follow up to Emissaries, the 5th Melechesh album and first for Nuclear Blast Records.The band are aiming to keep the album multi-dimensional when it comes to the atmosphere of the songs, one of the new elements will be a couple of songs written and recorded entirely with 12 string electric guitars.
Ashmedi will then head to Istanbul where he will meet prominent musicians there so as to explore the eastern musical traditions of the city.
Commented Ashmedi: “Istanbul is a place where Eastern and Western Music have been perfectly interwoven for decades, and it is a great place to absorb musically and spiritually as Istanbul also has a very fascinating occult side to it as well!”
Tools of the Trade productions also followed Ashmedi with the camera to Hellfest and documented some moments for the upcoming documentary Ashmedi: A Metal Disporant as well."
Fan-filmed footage from Hellfest can be seen below. More photos (onstage, signing session, interview) can be seen at this location.
