Mesopotamian black/thrash metal band MELECHESH will headline this year's Metal Front Festival in Armenia on November 26-27.

Band leader Ashmedi states: "Part of my family are Armenian yet none of us have ever been there so this is significant for me on a personal level. The band will spend foour days in the capital city Yerevan and the organizers of the festival plan to take us to some interesting historic and pagan sites in the country."

According to the organizers of Metal Front Festival, after a live radio interview with MELECHESH the response was immense from the metal fans so it was decided to host MELECHESH as the headliners for this event.
