MELECHESH

Israel Black/Death/Middle Eastern Folk Metal

Lyrical themes: Mesopotamian mythology

Origin: Jerusalem, Jerusalem (early); Netherlands/France (mid); Germany (later), Israel

Status: Active

Formed in: 1995

Years active: 1995-present

*Pronounced as "Meh-lek-esh" by the band (modern Hebrew pronunciation for the "ch" would be similar to the one in Scottish "loch"). Melechesh means "King of Fire" in Hebrew.

Problems between Melechesh and the strictly religious people in Jerusalem,

as well as professional and personal reasons, encouraged the band to relocate with members going to The Netherlands where they could continue work without the hassle from religious authorities.

Since the drummer could not move they found a replacement with Proscriptor from Absu, who was then replaced by Dutch drummer Xul. Xul was fired in 2013.
