Ashmedi and Moloch of Mesopotamian metallers are locked up in Sulphonic recording studio in Rotterdam working on demos for the follow up to Emissaries, the 5th MELECHESH album and first for Nuclear Blast Records.

The band are aiming to write and record a few songs entirely with 12 strings electric guitars.

Ashmedi will then head to Istanbul where he will meet prominent musicians there so as to explore the eastern musical traditions of the city. Commented Ashmedi:

“Istanbul is a place where Eastern and Western Music have been perfectly interwoven for decades, and it is a great place to absorb musically and spiritually as Istanbul also has a very fascinating occult side to it as well!”

Tools of the Trade productions also followed Ashmedi with the camera to Hellfest and documented some moments for the upcoming documentary Ashmedi: A Metal Disporant as well.

Look for the new album to be out later this year…
