Melechesh - Genies Sorcerers And Mesopotamian Nights

[PaloAltoMetal]

This album was recorded with Proscriptor of Absu. Am I the only one who thinks this video is extremely similar to the one for Mananan?

[lostsoul69ful]

cacam!!!! rock it out

[PauLDiver2k]

class guitar sound !!

[Anglachel666]

they used to be a black metal band like burzum, then they took an arrow in the knee

[blindfollower]

@Anglachel666 they never were anything like burzum!

[madamecharogne]

This band got me into Mesopotamian culture and I love it too much!

[LICHAMORRISON]

@madamecharogne ha!! a mi tambien ,desde ese entonces tengo un interés marcado en mesopotamia y en general ,de esa región....

[kountsane]

Opaaaaaaaaa GREECE WITH YOU ANATOLIAN CRAZY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTT!

[Belialsoul]

ahah! Proscriptor!!! great!

[DrugsOnPeople]

oh babylon

[TherionSamael]

because of this fucking reggaeton that appropriate itself these rhytms, i can't appreciate Melechesh.

[ViciousXUSMC]

O.o what did I just watch.... Is this... Metal?

All I could think about was Xerxes from the movie 300

[metalweenis]

@ViciousXUSMC Yeah. Me too.

[ThatDisembodiedVoice]

Varg Vikerness hates these guys. Fuck him.

[MrRODAS666]

@ThatDisembodiedVoice Kristian (his real name9 is a fucking cunt, a murdere, a coward, a nazi and his music is a piece of shit!! hail Euronymous, forever in my heart and mind!

[dubya68]

@ThatDisembodiedVoice Doesn't surprise me. He hates anybody of a different race and/or culture anyways. I'm pretty sure he hates any non-nsbm or non-trad. black metal bands anyways.

[carbonseven1st]

thats some funky metal right here

[Rafazao666]

MUITO FODAAAA

[Michielvdwerff]

The drums remind me of Nargaroth's song Fruhling XD

[sirile99]

@Michielvdwerff The drum remind me some reggaeton ;)

[DerFeindr]

@sirile99 No, reggaeton may remind you of the drums in this song, not the other way around.

[PedroXyMaE]

jajajaja punchi pum punchi!! suena a ritmo de reguetton D:

[alesimetal]

@PedroXyMaE bruto ignorante



[blasfemuz]

@PedroXyMaE El reggeaton no existía cuando salio a la venta este disco de Melechesh

[dnlm4t4]

Melechesh sound kinda happy, the guitar hah

[ExtremeZERLEGER]

Which album is that?

[jusThrowme]

@ExtremeZERLEGER Djinn

[yarin981]

we good at music too.

that remiming me the middle east songs,but okay,that is how it should be,

so guys,we made to you music,what you will make for us?

[UberPlaythroughs]

@yarin981 BABIES

[genkisenshi]

i love this band!!! been a melechesh fan for 5/6 years now

[Sharanduin]

I know, the infamous Dem Bow Rhythm is present here... but that doesn't mean it's an awful song. At least, in my opinion, it gives a catchy groove, and why not, it could be said that you can dance to this song. This rhythm is also present in other songs of Melechesh (and something similar can be found in Narjahanam, in the song ''Al Aukhera'')

Then again, it's also found in Nargaroth (the song about Spring)...

[Wulgaris]

@Sharanduin

its a very common rhythm in muslim lands.. east, south east and south europe

[nikkusamagothique]

i like how melechesh play the guitar style greetings from U.S. : )

[heathen1392]

Haven't watched this video in a while! :-D

[INFECTEDSPECIMEN6666]

0:12 - 0:38 my favourite part... exotic sound to it.

[Henrietta20]

@INFECTEDSPECIMEN6666 sounds like reggaeton xD!

[6DecrepitBirth9]

Just discovered these guys. Cool music almost sounds like a black metal Nile. :P

[Mephamorphosa]

To this music the snakes are dancing!!! HAILZ!!!

[AurinkojaKuu84]

aaiii bai mó binho!!! gostei gostei!! :D

[UpaljachBIC]

7/8

[warzoneproduction]

2001 Melechesh's second full-length album Djinn was released (Osmose Productions) Clip filmed in the Netherlands to support the release. (The clip was broadcasted in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, USA, Finland, Sweden and Bulgaria. It was also streamed through many Internet clip shows/services.

[KrakenDominator]

[metalgothcat]

@KrakenDominator

[spellmaker92xD]

pa zato i jesu dobri sto zvuce kao narodnjaci ..nasi..hocu reci da narod sa dobrom folklornom bazom moze da iznedri ono sto dobro zvuci a ne kao oni Skandinavci sto nemaju nikakav folklor pa uzimaju iz tudjeg i onda nam to serviraju kao neki melodik ....ovi su extra..a klinasto pismo je kul..pa kultura odatle potice ....

[pinadeiro]

54 peoples didnt started to dance when eard the drums

[minimanomus]

@pinadeiro one person hadn't been atending his english classes

[pinadeiro]

@minimanomus why dont you try to speak portuguese lolololo

[kvltdvl666]

Proscriptor McGovern FTW!

[juanaugustolopez]

hate when singers cant sing....

[TheRomml]

Most dancable black metal band ever. Love it.

[veryangrystorks]

Beautiful baladi rhythm on the drums. Bravo.

[eibon81]

MrAmethystium: You are a Nazi and therefore a fool....do you actually KNOW what the Holocaust was? How the Hell can the extermination of millions of people, simply because they are different from you, be a good thing?!? Fuck you with somthing hard and spikey until you shit your guts out of your rotten, stinking Nazi arse.

[betoneto666]

un muy buen metal aka sabroson....

[podlozka2007]

they are not from israel but Netherlands:D

[silth19]

@podlozka2007 They are from israel but they currently live in the Netherlands because it is a better place for metal musicians

[Bmetalful]

@podlozka2007 To my knowledge they were born in Israel and formed the band in Israel. They moved to the Netherlands to avoid conflict with religious groups who hated their message/music. The only member that couldn't move with them was the drummer, so they picked up one of the best underground drummers of all time, Proscriptor. They might even have a different one after him.

[VitalSigns1]

Good techniques, but shitty sound...pretty annoying...

[executioner62]

оригинальная группа!интересный блэк!

[LiveMental]

They have an epic sound! Played a sick ass show yesterday! \m/

[collectmybrains]

I saw them in Portland and they rocked it so hard. It was a small venue but I enjoyed their energy.

[omri643]

actually, the only member left from israel is Ashmedi - and even he doesn't live in israel anymore (the band is now located in Holland)

[doomtank666]

That drummer looks like proscriptor

[warzoneproduction]

@doomtank666 Because it's him

[doomtank666]

@warzoneproduction Didn't know I'm new to this band.

[warzoneproduction]

@doomtank666 Thats cool, no offense just confirming your guess ;-)

[mrapala]

@doomtank666 you think so?!

[DemonX99]

Saw these guys live a couple weeks ago, and they fucking killed it! His vocals are spot on live.

[shredder123]

@DemonX99 i seen them last night in seattle it was nothing less of phenominal..

[Enysvar]

The inscriptions on top and bottom in this video are from the first writing system ever recorded that was found in Israel.

[eibon81]

Babylonian Black Metal- Ashmedi looks like a Pharao, cool as fuck!!! They should invoke the Godess Ishtar so she will raise the dead to eat the flesh of the living! That's in "The Epic of Gilgamesch" by the way...

[zesartt]

THIS GUYS ARE BIG STRONG BLACKMETAL WORKERS,THANKS TO THEM,THANKS AND LONG LIFE FOR THEY

[demigodlike]

Epic brilliance. It's been said..they are to Sumeria what Nile is to Egypt.

[Acxel33]

Punchi punchi ♫

[Deathhunter992]

Saw these guys with Nile about a month ago. It was one crazy gig!

[blasfemuz]

MELECHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESHH MELECHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

[motka1234567890]

[OfficialChokmah]

Why are the best bands almost always the most underrated?

[warzoneproduction]

Because of this song. I became a metalhead and a huge fan of Melechesh

[CosmicDestroyer99]

They have an interesting twist to them. Or rather to their sound.

[ObituaryDoctor]

Proscriptor on the drums?

[apolyon665]

PROTOTYPE BAND,THIS IS COOL BUT I WANT MORE ENERGETIC DRUMS WITH BLAST BEATS AND DOUBLE BASS AND I THINK THAT THEIR LEVEL WILL INCREASE....DOU YOU THINK??

[watami10]

you can hear the jewish riffs lol fucking awesome

[phREaker419]

@watami10 hmm I'm jewish and to me I get much more of a Persian or maybe Egyptian sound to these riffs I hear actually.

then again I tend to think more of klezmorim, yiddish style rhythms from my youth so I could be off base in my viewpoint, or not...

[stivooo]

All hail Lammasu!

[hellfencer]

Sorry guys had to break it; I was like # 667. The neighbor of the beast!

Do you see Proscriptor in there!!!!! I was blown away when I first heard these guys! No wonder with him in the band!

[ibanezxiphos700]

[Albanijac]

Adding lyrics to description would be great.

[metalpop666]

melechesh groupe genial.innovant et original et dote de supers musiciens

[PavelSedlak]

@MylifeforOdin looooooooool :D

[H1703]

the anunaki has genetically modified us..anunaki from the planet x, nibiru..anunaki alien like human beings..sounds crazy..

[ONOESRAPEAPE]

@H1703

You're right, that DOES sound crazy. Probably because it is crazy, as are you.

[H1703]

@ONOESRAPEAPE so are u too :)

[yugster78]

@H1703 Hes right apart from the nibiru bit the Anunaki came from difrent solar system. were all half Anunaki.

[lokust9ine]

Once again, h e l l s y e s! And, if i'm not mistaken, that DOES look like Proscriptor behind the drumkit!! Correct me if i'm wrong....With or without the afforementioned Drummer Supreme, Melechesh are an awEsome frEEkin band ...

[VORAGO666]

VORAGO!!!

[GUDRUN355]

Wow I really do like them! Hail Melechesh!!

[ectoplasmgod]

Jehovah is not my God...Fuck Israel and its Children

[OleBentsen220]

@ectoplasmgod It's all the same God, divided by politics that was performed by idiots thousands of years ago. Why we continue to let politics and history drive us humans apart, I don't know. The people who speak against any of my fellow human beings, are no friends of mine. I see old men speak hatred to each other across the world. Old men stuck in their ways. Always old men, telling everyone else what to think. Old men with minds, frozen by prejudice and hatred.

[maugaw]

@ectoplasmgod and fuck all prejudiced and ignorant..go to hell mother fucker!

[maidenkid84]

this is soooo beautiful

[bibendeum44]

[drow060]
