March 19, 2010, 14 years ago
On April 10th, Sumerian black / thrash legends MELECHESH will enter the studio to record their 5th, as of yet untitled album for a period of 4 - 5 weeks.
In unprecedented move in metal, the band has chosen to record the album in Istanbul in an attempt to capture the inspiring surroundings. Babajim Studios, which opened their doors this week, is run by some of the elite sound Engineers in Turkey. The album is set to be released in summer 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Commented Ashmedi: “We have been looking for a place to record that can offer us an inspiring surrounding. We also decided to stay true to our spirits, to break the mold (again) and also to defy the norm, hence we will record in Istanbul; you see the norm is to record westwards it is rather customary, we want to head eastwards. So, Istanbul seemed the best place since This is the city where the east and west meet, mesh, clash, blend, collide etc. and has been as such for milleniums. The music is definitely Melechesh and as always, this album has its own characteristic.”
The band is now locked again in the rehearsing studio with Guitarist Moloch arriving to Amsterdam next week from Virginia, USA. The song writing is 90% complete.
Melechesh played their first show of 2010 on January 23rd at the infamous Baroeg club in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
The band performed a new untitled song which will appear on their forthcoming album. Video of the performance is available below.
