DISCHARGE are set to release their new album ‘End Of Days’ on April 29th via Nuclear Blast. The band’s career has spanned an epic 40 years so it’s no surprise they have influenced quite a few bands along the way. One musician who is known for his love of the band is SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera. We spoke to Max about how he discovered Discharge’s music and how they have influenced him musically – watch the interview here:

Check out the lyric video of the new single “Hatebomb” here:

Ashmedi, mainman for pioneers of Sumerian thrashing black metal, MELECHESH, talks the latest single, ‘Lost Tribes’ and working with metal legend Max CAVALERA in a new video trailer, check it out below.

The follow-up to 2010’s masterpiece “The Epigenesis”, entitled “Enki” marks the band’s sixth full-length album and will feature iconic guests Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, KILLER BE KILLED), Sakis Tolis (ROTTING CHRIST) and Rob Caggiano (VOLBEAT, ex-ANTHRAX). The release of »Enki« is scheduled for February 27 (EU), March 2 (UK) and March 10 (US), via Nuclear Blast.

The band recently released the official lyric video for ‘Lost Tribes’ feat. Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, KILLER BE KILLED). The song comes off the band’s upcoming album, »Enki«.

Recently the band released the first album trailer for »Enki«. Check it out here:

Commented singer, songwriter and mainman Ashmedi: “I am flattered and honored to have esteemed guests appear on this multifaceted album. »Enki« solicited different approaches and 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 toured together 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!”

Added Caggiano: “I’ve been a fan of MELECHESH for a while now and it was an honour for me to play a solo on their new album!! These guys sound like nothing else out there!”

Extreme metal connaisseur Max Cavalera explains: “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!”

Tells ROTTING CHRIST mainman Sakis Tolis: “When I was told that our brother band MELECHESH would record their upcoming album in my hometown, I immediately picked up the phone and 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 Mediteranean mentality 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 path and 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!”

The album was recorded in Greece by Giorgos Bokos (ROTTING CHRIST) while Jonas Kjellgren (IMMORTAL, LEGION OF THE DAMNED, OVERKILL, HYPOCRISY) took care of the mix and mastering in his renowned Black Lounge Studios in Sweden. Drums were recorded at Devasoundz Studio with Fotis Benardo (ex-SEPTICFLESH, ex-NIGHTRAGE)

On Enki the band opted to feature 12-string electric guitars along with 6 strings, for a heavier and subtly richer harmonic sound.

Max Cavalera Talks KILLER BE KILLED In New Video Trailer

MaxCavaleraKILLER BE KILLED, the new band comprised of Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, ex-SEPULTURA), Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN), Troy Sanders (MASTODON) and Dave Elitch (ex-THE MARS VOLTA), have posted a new video trailer in which Cavalera (guitar, vocals) explains the band’s name. 


Two new tracks from their upcoming formerly clandestine release at can be streamed at http://goo.gl/0MFFIh. Check out the songs ‘Wings of Feather and Wax’ and ‘Face Down’ to see what all the excitement is about!

“Killer Be Killed” was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur whose production credits include work with GOJIRA, LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ESCAPE THE FATE, PINK and STEVE EARLE. Cover art and packaging was executed by Ryan Clark of Invisible Creature Design, the Grammy nominated design firm whose clients include ALICE IN CHAINS, FOO FIGHTERS, CHRIS CORNELL, DEVILDRIVER, MONSTER MAGNET, WOLFMOTHER, and DEMON HUNTER.

“He’s a Polish worker in the back of a dark truck, but he looked like a criminal to me,”  explains Clark about his choice for the cover’s image. “Multiplying his face seemed to give him a sort of split personality/schizophrenic vibe, which feels like a good mesh. Not just for the band name but the idea of a (for the lack of a better term) super-group.”

“Killer Be Killed” track listing:
01. Wings of Feather And Wax
02. Face Down
03. Melting Of My Marrow
04. Snakes of Jehova
05. Curb Crusher
06. Save The Robots
07. Fire To Your Flag
08. I.E.D.
09. Dust Into Darkness
