Assyrian black metal band Melechesh released their fifth studio album ‘The Epigenesis’ via Nuclear Blast Records in late 2010, and following two previous North American tours to promote the album as a support act to bigger bands, Melechesh have returned to North American shores for a two-week headline run of their own. The tour began at the Joint in Los Angeles last Sunday June 16th 2013, and prior to the show I caught up with mainman Ashmedi for a chat about what to expect from this tour, plans for the next album, his thoughts on metal bands using unconventional instruments, and other topics. Listen to the 10-minute interview below, and read a review of the LA show or visit the band online using the links at the bottom.
