Melechesh release instrumental version of ‘The Epigenesis’

MELECHESH have released an instrumental version of The Epigenesis!

Originally released back in 2010, The Epigenesis was among the first productions from Istanbul’s then newly built flagship recording studio Babajim. It features a variety of traditional instruments, such as yayli tanbur, Azeri tar, baglama saz, Indian sitar and Persian santur, as well as 12-string guitars, evoking the spirit of Istanbul, a city that has always been a melting pot of different cultures.

Right on time for the album’s twelfth anniversary, the Sumerian black metal band have released an instrumental version of the record!

Speaking about the release of the instrumental version of the album, band founder Ashmedi says, “a gem from the vaults of Nuclear Blast. When we did The Epigenesis, we made a version without any vocals and adjusted the mix and mastering accordingly. The result turned out to be phenomenal. With this version, there are a lot of hidden melodies and nuances. The listener can immerse themselves in the music and make it their own journey. The great part is having all of you Nomads out there doing vocal covers to whatever song you like. It will have your own personal touch. I wont be there to back you in the track, it is your own gig! Immerse yourselves, bang your heads, and journey to the depth of your microcosms with The Epigenesis: The Instrumentals.”

The Epigenesis: The Instrumentals is out now via Nuclear Blast Records.
