Official press release:

Legendary Sumerian black/thrash monsters Melechesh just announced the newest addition to their ranks – the band has finally found their new bass player.

Rahm, who has sessioned during the last several festivals, proved to be an excellent addition to the group's ranks.

Commented Rahm: "I am honored and proud to be the new bass player of the Mesopotamian metal band Melechesh. The last year I played 9 shows and I am ready for what is coming in the future. I think this is a big chance for me to do new things with excellent music and musicians!"

Commented Ashmedi: "After several shows with Rahm he proved to be a very good musician, and he has shown outstanding energy and positive attitude both on stage and off stage. And believe me offstage matters a lot when you are travelling and spending a lot of time together on the road. I am very glad he is a part of the Melechesh order."

Melechesh would like to thank all the bass players worldwide who have applied for the position and shown a great deal of initiative we respect and appreciate you.
