Sumerian black metal masters MELECHESH are proud to release the full instrumental version of their acclaimed 2010 album The Epigenesis.
The album was among the first productions of Istanbul’s then newly built flagship recording studio Babajim. It features a variety of traditional instruments such as yayli tanbur, Azerbaijani tar, baglama saz, Indian sitar and Persian santoor, as well as 12-string guitars, evoking the spirit of Istanbul, a city that has always been a melting pot of different cultures. Just in time for the album’s twelfth anniversary, MELECHESH invite you to revisit “The Epigenesis” and delve into its immersive and eclectic compositions, which easily hold their own even without the vocal tracks present. Starting today, The Epigenesis: The Instrumentals is available for your listening pleasure on all digital streaming platforms worldwide.
MELECHESH founder Ashmedi commented: “A jewel from the vaults of Nuclear Blast. When we made “The Epigenesis” we made a version without vocals and adjusted the mix and mastering accordingly. The result turned out to be phenomenal. There are a lot of hidden melodies in this version and nuance. Listeners can immerse themselves in the music and make it their own journey. The great thing is, all you Nomads out there make vocal covers of any song you like. It’ll have your own personal touch. I won’t be there to support you in the track, it’s your own gig! Dive in, bang your heads and travel to the depths of your microcosms with The Epigenesis: Instrumentals.”
