The pioneers of Sumerian thrashing black metal, MELECHESH, have released the official lyric video for the song 'Lost Tribes' feat. Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, KILLER BE KILLED) at this location: http://smarturl.it/LostTribes
The follow-up to 2010's masterpiece The Epigenesis marks the band's sixth full-length album and will feature iconic guests Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, KILLER BE KILLED), Sakis Tolis (ROTTING CHRIST) and Rob Caggiano (VOLBEAT, ex-ANTHRAX).
Extreme metal connoisseur Max Cavalera explains: "I was very honored that MELECHESH asked me to sing on their new album! I'm a big fan and I think The Epigenesis is one of the greatest extreme metal records ever done! I love the fact that they come from a different part of the world like me. So our worlds finally collide! Long live MELECHESH!"
Commented singer, songwriter and mainman Ashmedi: "I am flattered and honored to have esteemed guests appear on this multifaceted album. Enki solicited different approaches and new experiences. Max is a lion - I love his voice and the tribal and historic parallels of our lives are uncanny, he did an amazing job on 'Lost Tribes'. Sakis is an old friend and we toured together in the past. His voice added another dimension of mysticism on our 'Enki - Divine Nature Awoken'. Rob and I always wanted to collaborate and he is an agile and excellent guitar player so the lead he did on 'The Palm, the Eye and Lapis Lazuli' was perfect , it rocks and serves the track well. They all did an outstanding job and went above and beyond to make it happen despite their busy schedules. MELECHESH is more than a band - it is a society!"
The album was recorded in Greece by Giorgos Bokos (ROTTING CHRIST) while Jonas Kjellgren (IMMORTAL, LEGION OF THE DAMNED, OVERKILL, HYPOCRISY) took care of the mix and mastering in his renowned Black Lounge Studios in Sweden. Drums were recorded at Devasoundz Studio with Fotis Benardo (ex-SEPTICFLESH, ex-NIGHTRAGE) The release of Enki is scheduled for February 27 (EU), March 2 (UK) and March 10 (US).
