Melechesh - Emissaries

[BenMech]

Okay, can't spell that right,?, but this album kicks total arse.

Plus, Tea Party cover of Gyroscope.

At the show, they played some new song that's in two parts, can't recall the name but it fucking ruled! Great band, I'll be stoked to pick up my first album by them!

"Apkallu Counsel" is a masterpiece all unto itself

This new album SLAYS

One listen and I am floored, total top 10 material for sure....

 

[Papa Josh]

I simply cannot wait for this to hit the fuckin shelves!!

 

[Claws of Perdition]

finally listened to something from this.... OMFG this rules

 

[Night Mare]

Agreed 100%.

I thought without Proscriptor they surely would not be near as good. Glad to see I was wrong.

This is just astounding. I've been spinning this since yesterday. The thing I love about Melechesh is that you can listen 100 times, put it away for a few months, and then hear it again as if it's the first time all over. It's like your Melechesh virginity grows back or something.

 

[Papa Josh]

I love em so much I went and got their 3 Osmose releases on vinyl!

I think Melechesh is quite okay. The band is good/great song by song, but I find their style quite tedious while listening to the whole album.

sphynx is like an impenetrable wall to me, after a couple songs i start tuning it out entirely and end up turning it off after 4 or 5

death metal: it's good gym music, and gym music fails in most other situations, except maybe driving

otherwise you can say the same about death metal as a whole. Most death metal is so one-dimensional, its value disappears after 2 songs. It's like a quick blast of energy and then you can get on with listening to something more thought provoking. Melechesh, however, are multi-dimensional, like old Aeternus, encapsulating a ton of atmosphere, folk instruments, ancient chants, and the pungent smell of incantation!

It's still mostly gym music so I don't necessarily disagree

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Melechesh is EXCELLENT lifting music.

[JayKeeley]

oh well I must be wrong then

 

[swizzlenuts]

Demilich - Nespithe
Demigod - Slumber of the Sullen Eyes
Seance - Fornever Laid to Rest
The Chasm - Deathcult...

not one dimensional!

 

[JayKeeley]

I said *most*

Listen, when death metal is good, it's spot on, but when it's bad it's possibly the worst thing metal has to offer next to lolcore

But on average, I would say DM has the largest shit band :: good band ratio

 

[swizzlenuts]

I mis-read your post....it is rather long....

but I agree

Beer ftw.
