I came across various tracks from this album on Youtube. I was very quickly hooked.I've always been interested in bands that feature local cultural influences, be it Nordic, middle eastern, European, far eastern or whatever. In this day & age of somewhat formulaic and entirely boring "nu-metal", bands such as Melechesh offer a breath of fresh air. Emissaries is a work of pure genius. The band members are very obviously incredibly talented musicians. Though the music bears little similarity, I'm talking about musicians on a comparable skill level to the best that Iron Maiden, Turisas & Slayer can offer. Technical perfection is married with thematic intricacies that offer a genuinely unique listening experience.Most Melechesh songs are crushingly heavy and yet are easy on the ear in a way that most "extreme" metal certainly isn't. The production is exemplary as is the quality of the song writing. I should point out that the vocals are far more incidental to the music than in most metal records, as opposed to be a central element of the songs. In this respect Melechesh remind me of Forefather - the vocals are good but merely add another layer to the incredible quality of the playing and composition. Perhaps I've not explained this well - check out Melechesh on YouTube & you'll see what I mean. The band has an obvious middle eastern influence, specifically ancient Sumerian apparently. I think it works very, very well and it's certainly incredibly engaging to listen to. Most Melechesh tracks really do paint an audio picture of an ancient civilization at it's height of power & glory. Stiring stuff! They also include some almost introspective instrumental tracks which are frankly beautiful to listen to.Do yourself a favour - check out the band on YouTube. I did and instantly bought ALL their work. Absolutely essential for all fans of metal that's a bit interesting & out of the ordinary. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melechesh - Emissaries *by K***G on 23 March 2014* Emissaries is the fourth full-length studio album by the unique Metal band from Jerusalem, Melechesh. It was released in 2006 through Nuclear Blast.Melechesh started out with a style of music sort of close to Black Metal, but by this stage in their career have evolved into something different. There are some Blast-beats and shrieking vocals, but its more bouncy rhythms than icy-atmosphere. The songs largely revolve around big fat grooves and adventurous song structuring but give way to blistering Thrash passages now and again to keep the energy levels up. They are pretty “dynamic” in their mixture of fast and slow, loud and soft, eastern and western.Lyrically, as on all their albums the band write about interesting historical and fictional things from their own culture (Sumerian/ Assyrian/ Mesopotamian folklore). It gives the band a nice unique angle, and it is handled in a tasteful and non-cheesy way.Melechesh are just a really unique, incredibly interesting and talented band, and fittingly, Emissaries is a pretty interesting and talent-filled record. One of the best in their catalougue even. If you’re already a fan then you won’t be disappointed at all by the masterfully crafted collection of punchy and vicious, yet strangely accessible tunes.Everything on this record is pure gold, but highlights include the furious ‘Ladders To Sumeria,’ as well as the menacing album-closer ‘Emissaries And The Mysterium Magnum’ and of course ‘Gyroscope,’ which is a cover of The Tea Party reworked into the Melechesh style.Overall, Emissaries is a confident, exciting entry in the Melechesh timeline that is strong from beginning to end and highlights everything that is great about the band. Its an incredibly strong listening experience. New listener or existing fan – check it out either way, you won’t regret it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A touch of Eastern promise! *by M***N on 14 January 2010* I bought Emissaries because I like Absu and as Proscriptor, the main man of Absu, used to drum for them I thought it must be worth a listen and I was right. It fact, it is worth more than a listen it is worth a five star review.There are similiarities in musical style with Absu and both bands are very innovative. Melechech's music apart from being extremely tight in terms of musicianship is very different from anything else you will hear. The closest comparision is Absu, however, given the Middle Eastern origins of the band, Emissaries is very unique sounding and to an ear raised on western musical scales it sounds very exotic and different. System of a Down (SOAD) are more mainstream rock that use Middle Eastern song structures and scales though not to the extent used by Melechesh.For me it is the eastern style guitar work that makes Emissaries unique. The album is fuelled from start to finish by some awesome high octane riffing. Just sample the first track 'Rebirth of the Nemesis' to see what I mean. I have to plead ignorance on the structure of Middle Eastern music but it sounds fantastic when used in Rock. The mix of bone crunching guitaring, pounding drumming and Middle Eastern song structure is a joy to listen to.The album only changes down a gear for the 'Scribes of Kur' which sounds very Middle Eastern using traditional instruments.Its difficult to express my feelings to this album other than they are very good. For me the album conjours up images of a hot desert with searing blue skies.I would recommend Emissaries to fans of Absu if you don't already have it. I also think fans of SOAD may like it. If you like SOAD's eastern influences there is a chance you will like this. Be warned though the vocals here are very raspy and nothing like Serg's. However, the guitar work has more Middle Eastern influence than SOAD's.Emissaries is for you if you appreciate music with a twist played by excellent musicians and don't mind raspy vocals. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/59387984-melechesh-emissaries](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/59387984-melechesh-emissaries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
