MELECHESH: reveal the cover art for the upcoming sixth studio album, Enki!

Israeli blackened/death metal band MELECHESH have revealed the art work, track listing and release dates for the bands anticipated new release "Enki", due to be unleashed 2/27/2015 (EUROPEAN UNION), 3/2/2015 (UK) and 3/10/2015 (NORTH AMERICA) via
NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.








MELECHESH unleashed "Mystics Of The Pillar II" (DIGITAL-EP) 4/27/2012 and "The Epigenesis" 10/1/2010 both via  NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.



FROM MELECHESH: 
Commented mainman 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."

On February 27th (EU), March 2nd (UK) and 10th (US) 2015 MELECHESH will release Enki, the follow-up to their 2010 masterpiece The Epigenesis. The album was recorded in Greece by Giorgos Bokos (ROTTING CHRIST), while Jonas Kjellgren (IMMORTAL, LEGION OF THE DAMNED, OVERKILL, HYPOCRISY) took care of the mix and mastering in his renowned Black Lounge Studios in Sweden. Enki also features several esteemed guests such as vocalists Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, KILLER BE KILLED, ex-SEPULTURA) and Sakis Tolis (ROTTING CHRIST), as well as guest lead by Rob Caggiano (VOLBEAT, ex-ANTHRAX).

With this deep and personal album, filled with metaphor and spiritual/philosophical references, MELECHESH are yet again ready to spread their sonic magic and enlightened revelations to the cosmos!

On Enki the band opted to feature 12-string electric guitars along with 6 strings, for a heavier and subtly richer harmonic sound. The band also tuned their instruments to the 432 Hz frequency rather than the standardized 440 Hz one, for a deeper sonic experience within the human psyche and in accordance to vibrations of the universe (http://attunedvibrations.com/432hz/).
Enki track list:
01. Tempest Temper Enlil Enraged
02. The Pendulum Speaks
03. Lost Tribes
04. Multiple Truths
05. Enki - Divine Nature Awoken
06. Metatron And Man
