MELECHESH Joined By New Bassist

August 11, 2011

Sumerian black/thrash metal kings MELECHESH will be joined by a new bass player for their upcoming festival appearances. The band's founder, mainman, vocalist and guitarist Ashmedi explains: "The relationship is in a strict tryout phase which will allow the bass player to find his way into the band and to see if he fits in well. Additionally as often before [MELECHESH guitarist] Moloch won't be able to be part of the live lineup on our European tour as well as on two festivals due to his PHD finalisation and other commitments, which he had to reschedule because of our previous U.S. and European tours. But, as always, we'll have a trusted backup guitarist who toured with us in the past."

MELECHESH recently amicably parted ways with bassist Rahm, who joined the band last year. The remaining members of the group cited "professional reasons" as the reason for the split.

MELECHESH's latest album, "The Epigenesis", was recorded in the newly built Babajim Studios in Istanbul, Turkey and was mixed by Reuben de Lautour and mastered by Pieter Snapper.

The "The Epigenesis" cover art was created by the U.K.-based renowned occult artist John Coulthart, who had already collaborated with MELECHESH in the past.
