5.0 out of 5 stars Melechesh... a milestone in the extreme metal music history, May 12, 2001

This review is from: Djinn (Audio CD)

Melechesh is a band that has succesfully created a new style of black metal. Their new album Djinn incorporates mediterranean melodies with extreme metal music. The whole concept of Melechesh is facinating, from the album title "Djinn" to the imagery and lyrics. Each song has a unique touch to it, yet all the songs are mold into a whirlwind of unified identity. The guitarist offer a magnificent array of riffs that are creative and have a Slayerish feel. The drums are performed by Proscriptor (Also drummer of Absu). In Djinn he display his ability to play mediterranian drum structures. This album shall remain in my CD player for a loooooooooong time....

Good recording, but not nearly as fine of recording as the newest one. The intrigue of this group lies in the rhythms and scales they play. Quite creative, actually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melechesh - Djinn Review, November 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Djinn (Audio CD)

For anyone that never hear anything about Melechesh (to be pronounce Melekesh), well this sound like nothing. For me it is Black metal, with a mesopotamian style and rhythm, it is really symphonic with great musician.
P.S. The CD version OPCD 109 is PC protected so you can have trouble is you only have a PC (no trouble with an Mac OS). Maybe Osmose production will release another version without that. Note that the CD Sphynx is newer and have some gear on the cd for the computer.. and is also from Osmose.
