Melechesh - Ladders to Sumeria

[Elvydnir]

Kebab Metal!

[BIGPETE2001]

80s...........................



[grendelsbeard]

the lyrics are a little 'kooky' for my taste...but the music is solid.

[1515fuentes]

Hailz the mighty Melechesh. \m/

[BloodNazgul]

wtf???... the man on the right looks like christian bale D:

[LordZerathustra]

They speak of true occurrences...in the song.

[lambofgoddevotee]

Epic song! There was literally a bomb blast in my ears the first time i heard this song in the compilation- Global Metal..

[blashyrhkRAAA]

The uploader comments at the top are so faggin'.

[Israelpwn]

@blashyrhkRAAA

And you're hating. Unless the definition of 'fag' has changed to 'wicked'.

[blashyrhkRAAA]

@Israelpwn Why would 'fag' be interpreted as 'wicked'?

[Wulgaris]

i just love the story this song tells

[matkovicalan]

I recorded them in Atlanta on 04/08/2011. On one video some guy jumped on stage and took pick from Ashmedi's mic...

[jaszmenn78]

what the f***!

[eibon81]

purplesquirrl: I don't think there are many zealots out there (either Religious or pollitical) who can recognise their own inadequecies......mores the pity.

[OneProvidence]

Need more metal in the middle-east and less religion. \m/

[eibon81]

fodmunkio; how true that is! And in the name of God and Jesus Christ (a humanistic socialist, I believe?) they sent who-knows how many people to the stake after exacting terrible tortures upon them. The History of mankind is written in blood and shame....

[purplesquirrl]

@eibon81 If only they believed 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone' applied to them...

[eibon81]

Be more tolerant towards Nazi's and paedophiles? Be more tolerant towards those who would harm and destroy and commit acts against others that defiles their Free will? It is not a child's free will to be abused (nor anyones!) and it is not the free will of six-million plus to be experimented upon and exterminated. The ONLY people who make excuses for sexual predators are those that prey on others themselves....

[Israelpwn]

@eibon81

segamegadrive's trolling. Or a complete moron. But I hope he's trolling

[segamegadrive]

@Israelpwn I'm trolling lol...just a little one time troll

[Israelpwn]

@segamegadrive

Yay, my first fresh troll catch.

[fodmunkio]

@eibon81 ...And the catholic church!

[bezzoon]

that song for sumaria , south iraq

[segamegadrive]

This song makes me want to do that middle eastern clap and shout ''AYWAH,....WELELAH WELELAH '' , lol

[shagrath559]

@segamegadrive hahaha damn right !

[destroyersfav]

If jews dive into sumerian myths they became atheist, so. Better you keep your fundamentalist fuckshit ideas to yourself :))

[ASAG666]

MELECHESH are amazing, I hugged Ashmedi when I met him after seeing Nile and meeting Karl Sanders in London, England! :D

[solidjdr]

@ASAG666 lucky

[metali10]

awesome, saw the 2 days ago in los angeles!

[Pyroteknitian]

i see this as egyptian metal, though its probably something else...

[collectmybrains]

When they were going to play in Portland, a tiny group of religious nuts called the singer a "sandnigger" and a "pot-smoking faggot that going straight to Hell" right to his face. Four little religious protestors against thrity-something on-lookers who all cheered for Rotting Christ and Melechesh.

[Israelpwn]

@collectmybrains

Hahaha that sounds like such a great sight. Hope they got embarrassed as fuck.

Also Rotting Christ + Melechesh? WIN!

[collectmybrains]

@Israelpwn The show was (in order of performance) Lecherous Nocturne, Abigail Williams, Hate, Melechesh, and then Rotting Christ. Needless to say, it was one of the best shows I ever saw.

[DioPriest13]

@collectmybrains Portland,Oregon? I really wanted to go to that concert how was it and many people showed up?

[collectmybrains]

@DioPriest13 Not many showed up which proved nice and yet daunting, but the bands all played like it was a full house. I had alot of fun :) I will deinfitely see all of the bands again when I get the chance. I enjoyed hanging out with them for a bit too.

[IsmatLS]

@collectmybrains they uploaded some photos of that situation , i feel ashamed from people like those religious.

[Israelpwn]

@IsmatLS

Can you give a link to those photos? (Assuming you're reffering to the religious folks collectmybrains menetioned)

[IsmatLS]

@Israelpwn if you got a Facebook account and add Ashmedi Melechesh you would see them as his tagged photos.

[Abel335]

armenian, jew or palestinian... who give a shit ?

[ThePsYdReAmEr]

HAIL ENKI!!

[MrEnslaver]

They're not jews, but they came from israel (Jerusalem).

[JungleMeta]

Yea, Maloch was forced on us by the salemites. Wittled a pantheon of thousands down to but seven. Took away our goddess and replaced her with prostitute Ishtar. Tried to force us to lose our virginity to strangers. Sumirorszag mi tertint? Ur isten

[eibon81]

IsmatL S; I agree with you- it doesn't matter where a band comes from, their race, religion, gender or sexuallity- as long as they are not Nazi's or Paedophiles! ALL great and inspirational music (especially metal) comes from an otherworldly spiritual source...whatever you percieve that to be. Peace to you all from an open-minded, Gay, Heathen Metalhead!

[segamegadrive]

@eibon81 What do you have against Nazis and Peadophiles ha? you should be more tolerant

[SuicideNation]

Here's an idea, shut the fuck up...and rock the fuck out...

[demigodlike]

My new fave band..not just musically, but lyrically. Mythological deities were all aliens. They know what's up \m/ \m/

[AlPaChowYunFatKhan]

Arabian or Israeli same origine.........they're Semitic...so stop complaining guys.

Anyway music has no origine/religious/political borders......the most important thing.

[y890x]

this band is fucking badass. they know what the fuck's up. fuck yeah i have a new favorite metal band.

[vampiria1976]

IF THEY ARE ISRAELI WHY THEY HAVE ARABIC FOLK IN THEIR SONGS I DONT BELIVE ISRAELI GAYS PUT THE ARABIAN FOLK IN THEIR SONGS ANYWAY THEY ARE GREAT

[Israelpwn]

@vampiria1976

It's illegal now for an Israeli band (well, now moved) to use Arabic folk in their music now?

[gojko88]

@Israelpwn Plus, Ashmedi is of Armenian descent.

[hellfencer]

A great song!! I love the lyrical choices!

@JimmyWorld4: Proscriptor no doubt had a hand in guiding the lyrics in the direction of the Annunaki. I'm pretty impressed they went that route, and it makes the song all the better for it! Screw those aliens that fucked up the human race!

[surre13]

they play in sweden stockholm 20-02-2011 4 the 1st time

[H1tManV]

saw them live yesterday :o

[RiccardoTheBeAst]

[omglollmao123]

Fucking love the Middle Eastern scales & chant vocals.

Fucking epic shit.

[IsmatLS]

Omg! every video of melechesh i go they discuss from where they are, why you have the head so square?

[KhornateAxe]

@IsmatLS at least people don't mention that faggot. YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT. ARGH! :D

[Synochra]

[IsmatLS]

[tiglatpilesar9]

Ale gówno

[corrina1969]

great band,great music......to many ignorant ppl out there....if you want to know more about these great guys buy the metal hammer mag for nov 2010...there is a great article in there were they do a bloody good and interesting interview.....this band have alot of interesting backgrounds...take a read

[demigodlike]

Check out Keep Of Kalessin's Reptilian..same heaviness, same theme :-)

[Tinhosorj]

Great Work from Melechesh!!! Awesome music and band!

[b1bIs1337]

This music kicks ass. Most of these ignoramuses are just looking for an argument. I just ignore them these days...

[Israelpwn]

@iAmJush

AFAIK, none of these guys are jews. Check previous comments for where they come from. Palestinian, Armenian and something else I believe. Actually just check previous comments, I'm probably wrong.

Thanks for the casual slavery reference, douche =/

[rencrow]

@Israelpwn

Ashmedi is assyrian/armenian. Moloch is palestinian/assyrian.

[Israelpwn]

@iAmJush

AFAIK, none of these guys are jews. Check previous comments for where they come from. Palestinian, Armenian and something else I believe. Actually just check previous comments, I'm probably wrong.

Thanks for the casual slavery reference, douche =/

Thanks for the casual slavery reference, douche =/

[iAmJush]

@Israelpwn oh, well sorry if the Slavery term offended you... i didnt mean it the same way u meant and called me a douche....

nd its not my fault for thinknig theyre israeli because in one of thier other songs i read the description bar say that theyre all israelis....

[Israelpwn]

@iAmJush

Nah it was more the way you said it lol. Don't take the 'douche' thing personal. No feelings hurt?

But yeah no worries. Just check around for what their nationalities are, and yes they were based in Israel so that's why they can be written as an 'Israeli' band

[hmfvunit]

@iAmJush i live in dubai...full of arabs...very rude and racist folks..well the older generation is shitty ,younger ones are good ppl...and all think i am satanist...i visited israel 2 years ago...kind and humble ppl..and loved metal \m/ ! ...

[x666xGamer]

@iAmJush it's still kinda black metal-ish dude, they need lyrics like that to the music

[lokust9ine]

@iAmJush your "off topic" statement is a little bit offensive, not to mention very historically un-aware, and therefore pretty stupid. I agree with Israelpwn that your "casual slavery reference" was really lame. Yeah, the Syrians and other cultures that are a part of the Gaza Strip area have endured many brutal injustices that a lot of American media totally 'forgets' to ever mention, but, all in all your remarks make you sound kinda garden-variety Anti-Semite fuckwad

[lokust9ine]

@iAmJush Just one thing, bro--I don't mean any disrespect....When I said that "the casual slavery refrence" made you sound like a "Garden Variety Anti-Semite Fuckwad", i meant it as a way of saying that maybe you should've stated your oppinion differently, more clearly i guess SO THAT people WOULDN'T think of you as a Garden Variety..blah blah... K? i don't know u, so i can't judge....

[HoundofOdin]

These guys aren't Jews, they're of several other ethnic groups from the Middle East.

[TheBlackAbyss]

@iAmJush hello insect they r not israeli and u r a slave of media release yourself and be free....

[slayyer000]

woah, this is sick!

[chriskult]

Incredible band!! Awesome original riffs.

[TrampMasterFlash]

Mate, this is fucking awesome.

[Schwarzkald]

They make unique and good music does it f****king matter whether they're Arabs Jews or Christians. 

[SinisterxSinner]

Shut up and listen to the fucking music. :D

[bekhanni]

These guys amaze me. Brilliant!

[iloveactivities6]

israel does pwn. melchesh is super cool. me and you are soul mates

[NecroticCadaver]

excellent. i love the guitar . the voice is a little too much for me but still VERY good.

[14SpawnOfThor88]

I heard they were at Maryland Death Fest. I regret not going.

[ShowHero]

I say, who cares what country you come from, this is some brutal metal right here, metal has no racial boundaries, just watch Global Metal for that example.

[draltar]

great sound, must explore this

[guitarmenia]

what a headache wtf they sucksssss

[CristoViolador]

so outsandig!!!

i dont like black metal at all as in my old times

[86collind]

[MrThrasha666]

Great fucking track!! \m/

[blackmarketbrad]

i remember when randy had them on his lable pulverizer records,what happened to andy haris.

[reflector1111]

This band is great. Play this while smashing on a heavy-bag, one of my favorite things to do.

[dlmyers17]

@reflector1111 Haha

[Setyrify]

FUCKING EPIC SONG

[Coldubh]

wow they really know their mythology here. this is good stuff.

[romerus1975]

[MrThrasha666]

@popas7 got my tickets \m/ \m/

[popas7]

@MrThrasha666 Freakin' sweet! Come say hi to me at MDF! I hope it doesn't get cancelled with all these false flag events orchestrated by the government.

[MrThrasha666]

@popas7 what? it wont be cancelled lol, they do it every year! i dont know what you look like.

[popas7]

@MrThrasha666 you tube " pestilence bad news" first video, orange hat :D

[MrThrasha666]

@popas7 some times a couple bands have border issues but Pestilence fixed theirs from last years MDF!

[popas7]

@MrThrasha666 Let's hope it's not gonna be the case for Melechesh.....

[Heckshi]

These guys live in Isreal but they are palestinian/armenian and dutch

[Israelpwn]

@Heckshi

I think they live in Amsterdam right now.

[aae1234]

@Israelpwn yeah loadsa israelis gave em shit apparently so they left :/

[TheRMM82]

@Heckshi Close, Ashmedi is Armenian/Assyrian, Moloch is full Assyrian, and Xul is Dutch.

[DeathOfUniverse]

@Heckshi they were forced to leave to Netherlands, an example of the Israeli opression on Palestinians

[PaloAltoMetal]

@Heckshi No they live the Netherlands, but of israeli(palestinean origin)

[Heavymetalgamer28]

@Heckshi

Assyrian/Armenian actually. Ashmedi is half-Armenian half Assyrian, Xul is Dutch, Moloch is fully Assyrian and their new bassist is the only Jewish one I believe.

[hellfencer]

@Heckshi palestinian/armenian and dutch AND AMERICAN

[xROCKDOLL]

@hellfencer Dutch? I didn't expect that from Melechesh. Anyways, that's awesome :D.

[yishto]

@xROCKDOLL They were from Israel, moved to Netherlands because the Israelis accused them of, you know, demon stuff.

[xROCKDOLL]

@yishto Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks! :P

[JimmyWorld4]

@yishto alot of the music has to deal with the alien race that enslaved humanity some 10000 years ago they needed gold and Its so trippy to come across a band spouting this info so openly xD great music though

[darkblasphem]

pawer ranger!!

[besobar]

Origins

The band started their career in Jerusalem (and Bethlehem) and operated from there between 19931997; however, they have resided mainly in Amsterdam throughout most of their career. Currently the band is made up of three ethnicities, none of them of Israeli (whether Jewish or Arab) origin:[1] Armenian/Assyrian (Ashmedi),Assyrian (Moloch), Dutch (Xul)

[Stonkish]

I bought Melechesh's album "Djinn" when I was younger and I had no idea what it sounded like but I was stunned how awesome their music was. True Black metal ;) Loved them since then.

[MANSONRULZ54]

this is probably the best black metal band.

[TheCatblack7]

They are from Israel but they are not jews

[ifinatychal]

haha israel rocks!

[Anghelnicolae]

@ifinatychal

Fuck Israel! Non-jewish metal rullz :P

[ifinatychal]

@Anghelnicolae thats racist... fuck you fcken fag

[Anghelnicolae]

@ifinatychal

Racism is good nigger.

[FallenYggdrasil]

Brilliant! \m/

[richq11]

Awesome-great guitar!

[BornInHeresy]

Heil Melechesh!

[AustrianReaper]

@Music: Really really great song, one of the catchiest riffs I've ever heard

@Rest:

The same old thing, people that have nothing to be proud of because they ARE in fact nothing are at least proud of their fatherland

[Giordie666]

Israel rocks! I never thought there were kick ass bands like this one...

[MikeHunt124]

This is song is unreal!!!

Emissaries is probably one of the best albums i've listened to.

[MaidenPriest420]

THISIS SICK!

[Simlatio]

Wow, there are so many uneducated people commenting here...you can tell they are uneducated simply by observing that evolutionary paths matters more to them than the brilliance of their minds. I think people forget music and women are fairly similar...each race creates beautiful examples, and one should admire them accordingly for what makes them so. Ofcourse though, irrationals never listen...

[Israelpwn]

lol at the woman comparison :p

and true too

[ccatdaddy64]

@Simlatio Funny thing, someone told me about this band and they said "I think from Africa" then an idiot commented " I wouldn't listen to.... Obviously, not from Africa. Wouldn't give a rats ass where a band is from, what race, or color, if they are good, I'll listen. So sad there's still people with that type of thinking.

[Simlatio]

@ccatdaddy64 And there always will be people that think like us, so it's up to us to become the social elite in order to influence people to be tolerant, respect and appreciate what others do, because that is the only path to becoming a true individual of freedom and liberty. It's a hard fight but I'm sure we will manage to remove irrational thoughts and feelings from people eventually through positive influence as rationalised thinking becomes more and more prevalent. :)

[GueRRi11aWaRRioR]

@Simlatio you are a very smart human.

[Simlatio]

@GueRRi11aWaRRioR And you are too kind. Everyone can be smart if they remove ignorance & pride when thinking of worldly matters. Pride & ignorance hinder science as much as it hinders philosophy. Of course, positive emotions like care also blind people from rational thinking. Take Socialism for example... developed by ignorant men & promoted by caring woman who advocate it & influence their husbands & yet it does more harm than good economically. But I digress. Thank you for the compliment :)

[Israelpwn]

ok, fuck this. any other racist comments will be deleted.

along with a few ones here..

[flamingjon88]

if anyone isn't too busy being an ignorant racist fuck who belongs in the Dark Ages, i would recommend you also listen to Narjahanam. they are a pretty good Arabic BM duo, you can find most of their album on Youtube.

[Mereneito]

@flamingjon88 Thank you for the recommendation :)

[AngelOfSephiroth]

@flamingjon88 Thanks for the tip. just looked them up and Narjahanam sound awesome, very genuine in their style too.

[CaCestChill]

@flamingjon88 Thanks for making me discover that band mate, they are pretty good!

cheers, \m/

[flamingjon88]

@CaCestChill no problem mate!

[SeigneurMalphas]

goood blast and good riff , i can saw melechesh at the hellfest 2009 , they are great good band ;)

[RabidxPanda]

your english is can great good. ;)

[TheFolkmetalfan]

Question: my former history teacher was a non-genetic converted Jew does he qualify to be part of the world domination?

[Israelpwn]

well maybe...he'll need to go through some forms and stuff but eventually he can join the world domination =D

[pikoable]

OK!!! 5/5

[accde]

This is what Global Metal is!!!!!

[Synderr]

I hope Satan makes you his ass-slave...

Racist fucktard

Ill curb-stomp you

[nuli24]

All of you, Shut up! nobody gives a crap about Religions!

Melechesh - One of the greatest israelian metal bands.

Good song and a good riff.

[MetalForBlood666]

I'd to see them live i wish i had a chance to see them live in israel too bad they got kicked from the country =(
