MELECHESH Comments On Tour Cancellation

May 8, 2007

Sumerian thrashing black metal innovators MELECHESH have commented on the cancellation of their "Excess of Evil" European tour — which was also scheduled to feature KEEP OF KALESSIN, ENSLAVED, GOATWHORE, MARDUK and PANTHEON I.

"We were quite stunned to hear the news of this tour's cancellation, we actually declined other tour offers to make this one all the more special. Our guitar player, Moloch, who is currently residing in Virginia, USA was about to board the airplane and head to Europe when we heard the news. We looked forward to this tour and to giving 100% also we invested a lot of time in preparing for it. I don't know what else to say other than we feel disappointed and we apologize to all the people who were looking forward to this tour. We also looked forward to touring with, among others, ENSLAVED and KEEP OF KALESSIN and GOATWHORE. But such things remind me why we always were reluctant to do shows.

"For now the only confirmed European dates are the festivals (Earthshaker, Metal Mean, Party.San, Hole In the Sky) and we are currently working on a north American tour to support the release of our 'Emissaries' album."

MELECHESH's latest album "Emissaries" — the follow-up to 2003's "Sphynx" — was released January 23, 2007 on Osmose/The End Records.
