MELECHESH - Part 1 Of Making of 'Grand Gathas Of Baal Sin' Video Available
January 20, 2011, 13 years ago
The clip below is first part of the "making of" the brand new video clip 'Grand Gathas Of Baal Sin', taken from Mesopotamian thrashing black metal pioneers MELECHESH's latest masterpiece, The Epigenesis.
In early December, the band headed for Istanbul, Turkey to shoot the music video with Canadian director Rouzbeh Heydari.
Commented mainman Ashmedi: “We decided to film in Istanbul in order to capitalize on the suitable and real scenery and avoid a greenscreen, the location is surreal. Choosing to film in Istanbul also keeps us in line with The Epigenesis photo shoot and recording which were both done here. Rouzbeh, the director, flew in from Canada today and the whole band will arrive tonight. Friday we will do some pre production, Saturday and Sunday we will be shooting in two different locations. We chose ‘Grand Gathas Of Baal Sin’ because it has all of the desired elements; speed, thrashiness, aggression, mysticism and middle eastern ritualistic beats and parts.”
Melechesh will be direct support to ROTTING CHRIST on their tour next March/April 2011. Joining them will be Polish death metallers HATE, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, and LECHEROUS NOCTURNE. Reduced service charge tickets are now available through EnterTheVault.com. Confirmed dates are as follows:
