Melechesh

Melechesh recording their 5th album

Mesopotamian black/thrash kings Melechesh are currently immersed in writing sessions for the follow up of 'Emissaries' album, this will be Melechesh’s 5th album and first for Nuclear Blast Records. At the moment there are three preproduction demo songs as well as skeletons for several new tracks. No date is set for the recording but it will not be before Fall 2009 at the earliest.

Moloch will be flying to the Netherlands for co writing sessions with Ashmedi which will take around 2 weeks. This is part of a series of such sessions between both musicians made to compensate for the current geographical distance and add focus. As many of you know Moloch is living in USA for the time being to complete his PHD work; this is the main reason why Melechesh have enlisted the services of a good friend and musician Malak al'Maut on guitars for most live events.

21 February - Ostendfest - Ostende, Belgium
3 April - venue TBA - London, UK
18 April Ragnarok Festival - Lichtenfels, Germany
30 May - Festung O.A. - Bitterfeld Germany
20 June - Hellfest O.A. - Clisson France

These shows are most likely to be some of the last shows prior to recording a new album.
