| 3.5 great | zaruyache | October 22nd 16 |
Middle Eastern folky rhythms and melodies over black metal riffs--something not many other bands (of which I'm aware) have really tried. Melechesh have always been a fairly unique band because of their patently non-European take on the black metal genre, but their brand of folk-ish metal is just as fun as any of their European counterparts. While "Emissaries" is a bit long (55 minutes), it never really slows down, never finds itself lacking in content, and is a generally enjoyable experience from start to finish. If you don't mind the runtime, of course.

listens like a parody of their previous works. the magic has all been poured out of the lamp, and the djinn has left them on their own, sloppily composed motionsgoing middle easterns with light riffs and room temperature vox, an unfortunate modern bm influence

These guys know how to make solid blackened death metal and bring culture into their music also. Well done!

You rarely encounter metal music from the Middle East. But I found one band that I thought would be interesting. Melechesh. Melechesh plays death/black metal with Middle Eastern folk influences. The music itself is unusually technical and varied compare to the western and/or European death/black music. The sound production is great, song dynamics and technical musicianship are also great and the vocals are also very good. The vocals are very tense and raspy, slightly devilish actually. You have loads of technical guitar work, blast-beating and pedal work that shouldn’t disappoint you. This is highly recommended for those who are into death/black fusions. Highlight tracks: Deluge Of Delusional Dreams, Ladders Of Sumeria and Sand Grain Universe.
