Scorpios has been residing in Germany for several years, he will be arriving in Amsterdam on Tuesday for intensive rehearsal sessions. His first show with Melechesh will be April 20th at Dubai’s Holy Noise metal event . This will mark the band's second live show in Dubai, first being at 2009's Sand Storm Festival.
Melechesh will release an exclusive digital EP, Mystics Of The Pillar II, on April 27th in Europe, May 1st in North America.
The EP will contain the following tracks:
'Mystics Of The Pillar' (Alternate Ending)
'Sacred Geometry' (Instrumental)
'The Epigenesis' (Instrumental)
Commented mainman Ashmedi: "We recorded two different ending version of 'Mystics Of The Pillar' - this one changes tempo and picks up steam. Why? Because we felt like it, a song with two different endings is not too common in this day and age. Last minute we chose one to be included on the album, thus the second version was not mixed and mastered till a much later date.
"We also decided to release a couple of instrumental versions to our songs, namely 'The Epigenesis' title track which is a 12-13 minute epic and 'Sacred Geometry', both are multi faceted and work perfect just as instrumental works. We actually have an instrumental version of the entire album mixed and mastered so enjoy these couple of tracks.“
