Melechesh

Melechesh return with 'Sentinels of Shamash' EP in April

The storm awakens. 'Raptors of Anzu' is now unleashed. Ancient kings rise beneath blackened suns as Anu's wrath ignites and fate fractures in fire. Ritualistic fury. Cosmic destruction. Mesopotamian myth forged into steel. Enter the storm and claim your destiny.

'Raptors of Anzu' is taken from forthcoming, 3-song EP Sentinels of Shamash'. It will be released via Reigning Phoenix Music on April 10th, 2026.

Track listing:
1. The Seventh Verdict
2. In Shadows, in Light
3. Raptors of Anzu

Melechesh return 11 years after 'Enki', their latest full-length album which came out in 2015.

"As giants we set forth
Destinies unfold
Halls of knowledge open
Unveil the stars

Walls of logic crumble
Newfound law
Reflecting darkness
Order is restored"
