Commented singer, songwriter and mainmanAshmedi:"I am flattered and honored to have esteemed guests appear on this multifaceted album. "Enki" solicited different approachesand new experiences. Max is a lion - I love his voice and the tribal and historic parallels of our lives are uncanny, he did an amazing job on 'Lost Tribes'. Sakis is an old friend and we touredtogether in the past. His voice added another dimension of mysticism on our 'Enki - Divine Nature Awoken'. Rob and I always wanted to collaborate and he is an agile and excellent guitar
player so the lead he did on 'The Palm, the Eye and Lapis Lazuli' was perfect , it rocks and serves the track well. They all did an outstanding job and went above and beyond to make it happen despite their busy schedules.MELECHESH is more than a band - it is a society!"

Extreme metal connaisseurMax Cavaleraexplains:"I was very honored that MELECHESH asked me to sing on their new album! I'm a big fan and I think "The Epigenesis"is on of the greatest extreme metal records ever done! I love the fact that they come from a different part of the world like me. So our worlds finally collide! Long live MELECHESH!"
TellsROTTING CHRISTmainmanSakis Tolis:"When I was told that our brother band MELECHESH would record their upcoming album in my hometown, I immediately picked up the phoneand called Ashmedi to participate somehow. Ashmedi responded positively so I was ready to raise some serious hell! It is very interesting since we are sharing the same Mediteraneanmentality as individuals. I believe this new album is one of the most unique and atmospheric metal albums I have heared the last years. Ashmedi took me to their majestic oriental pathand showed me the way to tne new Babylon. I am definitely proud working with the Kings of Fire and I really recommend to check the new MELECHESH album - it is really good!"
