International band Melechesh have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a Mesopotamian themed form of black metal and this is a review of their 2026 ep "Sentinels Of Shamash" which will be released in April by Reigning Phoenix Music.
A very heavy and aggressive sound starts off the ep while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. You can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording along with the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams mixed in with a few growls and all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can also be heard while the solos and leads are also done in more of a melodic style. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the songs also updating the bands musical style for the modern era.
Ritualistic percussion and clear singing can also be heard briefly and some of the riffing also shows an influence of thrash metal as well as adding in a small amount of tremolo picking.. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Mesopotamian History, Sumerian Mythology and Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Melechesh and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "The Seventh Verdict".
