They remind me of some weird cross of Rammstein, SYL, and Scar Symmetry. Not really liking the hybrid product.

So the new Alcest is sounding pretty good compared to the last album. Souvenirs was okay but Écailles de Lune is sounding a lot better.

I was marginally disappointed with Souvenirs, since I really enjoy Le Secret. This new one, Écailles de Lune has left a much better impression on me.

The thing is Souvenirs was much lighter and more pastoral than Le Secret. On Écailles de Lune the songwriting, production and tone of the album is much better than Souvenirs. Plus there are more darker tones within the songs which are reminiscent of Le Secret. Give it a try.

I have to recommend this band YAOTL MICTLAN. The guitarist/vocalist is also the old/current drummer of my band The Obliterate Plague. Their album was just released August 10th on Candlelight records. Really fucking killer black metal stuff. Check it out.

So the new Volbeat leaked, and is just an EP, which was a little letdown.
The title track is pretty radio friendly touchy feely stuff. An edited version of the title track is followed by the "Album Version", and then a poorly mixed/recorded live version of a new song called "A Warrior's Call" which sounds like a cut and paste riffer from stuff off "The Strength/The Sound/The Songs, specifically "Pool of Booze". This is followed by another new song called "Rebel Angel", which is probably the best song on the EP. Very 60s jivin.

Blabbermouth said:The cover artwork for "The Epigenesis", the forthcoming fifth album from Sumerian thrashing black metallers MELECHESH, can be viewed below. The cover art was created by the U.K.-based renowned occult artist John Coulthart, who had already collaborated with MELECHESH in the past.
Commented mainman and founding member Ashmedi: "The art was meticulously discussed over several phone calls and John like a real credible artist worked in utmost professionalism while having a real short deadline.
"The cover art perfectly represents our music and themes. It portrays an occult, mystical Near Eastern/ Mesopotamian atmosphere while strictly adhering to a non-cliché standard.
"Aside from the mutual understanding between myself and John, The Golden Ratio principle was the starting and defining point for this sublime art.
"I am extremely satisfied with this cover art."
"The Epigenesis" will be released on October 1 via Nuclear Blast Records. The 11-song effort was recorded in the newly built Babajim Studios in Istanbul, Turkey and was mixed by Reuben de Lautour and mastered by Pieter Snapper.
Commented Ashmedi: "As I have mentioned earlier, we wanted to defy the norm and record eastwards rather than remain in Europe. This was mainly due to the inspiring surrounding we found in Istanbul as well as the high quality of the studio and gracious staff.
"This city is a mesh of east and west and had a very long tradition of rock music.
"['The Epigenesis' is the result of] two months of grueling work and very long hours.
"We took a risk and it paid off; the outcome is phenomenal! The production is very dynamic and big!
"The album is definitely MELECHESH and as always unlike its predecessors and we as a band are exactly where we want to be at this point in time.
"There are several moods on the album, from very aggressive raw songs with minimal riffs to ritualistic near eastern metal opuses, one of which is a 12-minute song that combines Mid-Eastern music, psychedelic rock and metal.
"On one third of the album we have used 12-string electric guitars for the main rhythm riffing. We have included two instrumental compositions with completely different moods as well.
"Lyrically, the album deals with several themes within the spheres of MELECHESH, such as Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Anunnakian themes, as well as other occult near-eastern and cosmological philosophies and ideas. Nevertheless, the lyrics do have dual meanings that are to some extent subliminal and can relate to one's own life journey, but that's for the individual to figure out. As for traditional instruments, we subtly included several instruments such as Baglama Saz, Tanbour, Persian Santur, Ney, Indian Sitar, Azeri Tar, Bindir… I say subtly because we definitely wanted the album to be metal…. Sumerian thrashing black metal."
Video footage of MELECHESH performing a brand new song on January 23, 2010 at the Baroeg club in Rotterdam, the Netherlands can be viewed below.
MELECHESH's last album, "Emissaries" — the follow-up to 2003's "Sphynx" — was released January 23, 2007 on Osmose Productions/The End Records.
