Ever wondered what were our common fathers listening to? Well, one band took the burden to wonder and they came up with something intriguing: Mesopotamian Metal! The Israel-based combo Melechesh worked hard to bring Mesopotamia and Sumeria back to life through their latest effort, "Sphynx". Ashmedi , Moloch , Al'Hazred and Proscriptor are back in full force with a savvy blend of Black Metal and long gone Eastern Folk, prepare thyself for something rare and rich.

This still is so deliciously charming and warm. Traits that you almost NEVER find in black metal. Then again, the outside influences are mostly behidn that but still... It's been aeons since I gave this album (and the band in general) a proper listening. Loved it so much today.

Of Mercury And Mercury is one of the best openings from 2000s black metal.

Osmose Productions really have a thing for thrash-inspired black metal, eh? Immortal, Absu, Melechesh...

Anyway, I really like this style! Heaviness of death metal, speed and badass riffing of thrash, vocals and atmosphere of black metal - perfect combo of extreme metal
