In celebration of the release of Melechesh's newest album, here's a full discography of Melechesh. What started as a black metal band with Middle Eastern colorings has grown into rather unique sounding folk/black metal - during which time they got trolled out of Israel and moved to the Netherlands. While Norway is gushing with folk/black metal from every orifice, Melechesh sets itself apart by using traditional Arabic melodies, and in their newer albums, a full complement of traditional folk instruments. If you ignore the folk elements, they don't sound too dissimilar from Absu (they also shared a drummer at one point). If you're a fan of Nile, Absu, or are looking for a radically different take on the old folk/black metal approach, give this a shot.
