MELECHESH - Mainman Ashmedi And Special Guests Comment On Enki Album Collaborations
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), Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ) and Rob Caggiano (Volbeat, ex-Anthrax).
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!"
Added Caggiano: "I've been a fan of Melechesh for a while now and it was an honour for me to play a solo on their new album!! These guys sound like nothing else out there!"
Extreme metal connaisseur 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 on 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!"
Tells Rotting Christ mainman Sakis Tolis: "When I was told that our brother band Melechesh would record their upcoming album in my hometown, I immediately picked up the phone and called Ashmedi to participate somehow. Ashmedi responded positively so I was ready to raise some serious hell... It is very interesting since we are sharing the same Mediteranean mentality as individuals. I believe this new album is one of the most unique and atmospheric metal albums I have heared the last years. Ashmedi took me to their majestic oriental path and showed me the way to tne new Babylon. I am definitely proud working with the Kings of Fire and I really recommend to check new Melechesh album - it is really good!"
Melechesh recently revealed the cover art for Enki. Commented Ashmedi: "For the artwork we collaborated again with John Coulthart, who has done our previous two album covers. The art reflects the dynamics of the album and the world of Melechesh: order and chaos. It amalgamates several spiritual, cultural and mythological concepts from the Near/Middle East and our lyrical aspects. Again it was based in the golden ratio which for the purpose of this album seemed suitable. The pillars featured here are a continuation from the previous album and lead to a path of knowledge. John always manages to capture the essence of Melechesh."
Due to unforeseen productional issues, the release of Enki had to be pushed to February 27th (Europe), March 2nd (UK) and March 10th (North America), via Nuclear Blast Records.
