MELECHESH - Mainman jams with turkish pop star! Video available!

2009-07-16 - While staying in Turkey for the past two weeks to explore the country's spiritual sides & sites, Ashmedi, frontman of Sumerian thrashing black metallers MELECHESH, also met up with several renowned turkish musicians. One of them, famous turkish pop/rock star Harun Kolcak, who has a deep interest in occultism and black metal, invited Ashmedi to join the stage during a jam session in a small jazz club in Istanbul.
A really rare and intense event took place that night as you can witness here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibQYQ_q8cmQ

Commented Ashmedi: „Well, I flew to Istanbul with hopes to absorb that city and its east/west fusion to feed my inspiration and hoping some elements will rub off on the new album. One of the highlights was this improvised jam sessions with leading musicians. I asked the band to follow my lead without having any plan or pre-composed things - just some Mid-eastern and Indian sounding scales; but kept it basic and sincere. The rest is documented in this video, very psychedelic Eastern Rock and Metal blend - we all were surprised how it was turning out in real time."
