MELECHESH - The Siege Of Lachnish 7" EP Reissued
June 20, 2008, 16 years ago
Tarot Productions has reissued Sumerian thrashing black metallers MELECHESH's 1996 7" EP, The Siege Of Lachnish.
Says the label, "Tarot Productions is proud to announce the re-release of The Siege Of Lachish formatted as a Collector’s Edition Vinyl picture EP, limited to only 300 copies worldwide.
This revolutionary release is the foundation of Sumerian thrashing black metal! The title track, 'The Siege Of Lachish', was inspired by a text written by the Assyrian King Sennacherib as he witnessed his army invade the city of Lachish, which was approximately an hour and a half from Jerusalem. The site is nothing but ruins now, but with the text, it inspired this warlike song and is the principal track of this EP.
The Side B track, 'Malek Al Nar', (meaning king of fire in Arabic) is a fast and traditional black metal hymn.
After fulfilling their contract with Osmose Productions, the band has recently signed with Nuclear Blast worldwide!"
