Melechesh - Sphynx

Re-issue, 300 x marble - beer/black 12" LP (180g) in a black poly-lined innerbag, download card, poster A2, full-color on 150g art paper, gatefold, full-color, black flood inside on 350g, all assembled in a PVC overbag. His performance on that record was feverish and locked-in, suitable for the manically hypnotic songwriting the band were so effortlessly creating. Sphynx, by comparison, is the yang to Djinn's ying; while by no means laidback, the album weaves its equally hypnotic spell through more relaxed tempos and a more overt heavy metal aspect. As such, MELECHESH here exude a swagger that's simply intoxicating. Drink again – or for the first time – from the bottomless well of Sphynx!
