NEWS: Melechesh warn of the “Raptors of Anzu”!

Rooted in Black Metal and Thrash, Melechesh have been a growing concern since there inception in 1993, their sound drawing deeply from the poison well of Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology, cosmic and occult themes with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern musical elements polluting the waters of an Extreme Metal sound. They’ve inked a deal with Reigning Phoenix Music for the release of a new EP titled “Sentinels of Shamash” on 10th April. The first glimpse at that is “Raptors of Anzu“, a tale in which rage burns without mercy as empires fall, logic collapses and ancient mechanisms of the soul are set into motion.

The band comment: “We’re proud to have signed with Reigning Phoenix Music, a label run by true fans who deliver professionalism and a personal touch. After some delays which were not in our hands and we have overcome, we’re ready to present our new EP Sentinels of Shamash, unrelenting, diverse, and true to the Melechesh spirit. We know about all the anticipation and patience you all displayed so we only deliver the best for you. Now the focus is to play live everywhere and bring the new songs to the stage, while continuing writing and reworking new material for the next without limiting creativity.”
