Maahes are a band from Germany that has been featured before in this zine and plays an Egyptian themed form of black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Nechacha" which will be released in September by Massacre Records.
Dark sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in the heavier sections of the songs at times while blast beats are also added into the faster sections of the songs. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while orchestral and symphonic sounds are also utilized at times. When tremolo picking is also added into he faster riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
A later song also introduced clear vocals onto the recording along with a couple of tracks as adding in a small amount of acoustic guitars and clean playing, spoken words and death metal growls can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Egyptian Ritual, Occultism, Divine Madness and the Legacy Of Fallen Empires.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Maahes and if you are a fan of Egyptian themed black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Magic Slave" "Morbid Love" "Keeper Of Secrets" and "Nephthys Tears". 8 out of 10.
