MELECHESH„Emissaries“
(Osmose) 10/10
The fourth album of these wise metal-sorcerers is finished finally. And this incredible insiders´ tip in Black Metal does not only pay tribute to the band´s excellent reputation but with „Emissaries” they deliver their best and most mature work to date. Of course the great album-predecessors have all been milestones in this genre, but the new album is a work of genius. On its great rhythmic foundation, the whole genre is efficiently cleaned up. By the aid of their new killer drummer named Xul, this overwhelming album hammers everything into the ground that comes in its way – also critics. The band´s Mesopotamian influences on „Emissaries” are still present and they were better used than ever. Also the musical mixture of this deep, black magicians seems more unique than ever. Short: the potential of this dark, magic album is of vast hereafter magnitude.
