Shrouded in mythic devastation and divine revelation, MELECHESH has unveiled the new digital EP Sentinels Of Shamash via Reigning Phoenix Music. The international Mesopotamian metal pioneers reveal tales of a forgotten age with commanding riffs, distinctive ritualistic rhythm arrangements produced by combining six-string and 12-string electric guitars, and incantatory vocals across apocalyptic soundscapes. To celebrate the release, the band has shared a new lyric video for " The Seventh Verdict", available HERE


Sentinels Of Shamash, stands as a ceremonial descent into ancient law, fire, and cosmic vigilance. Drawing from Mesopotamian myth and the solar judgment of Shamash, god of truth and justice, MELECHESH crafts an offering steeped in divine wrath and esoteric order. Each composition unfolds like a sacred inscription, invoking forgotten gods, fallen kings, and the eternal tension between chaos and balance.


Through commanding riffs, relentless rhythms, and a sonic architecture that bridges ancient cosmology with modern extremity, Sentinels Of Shamash delivers a mythological statement rooted in fire, judgment, ruin, and restoration. The sentinels stand eternal guard over fate itself.


Sentinels Of Shamash was produced by Ashmedi and co-produced by Rob Caggiano and Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner. Bass lines and backing vocals on were recorded by Rob Caggiano, who also contributed rearrangements to “In Shadows, In Light”. Drums were performed by Nikitas Mandolas, with engineering and mixing and mastering by Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner, and engineering and tracking by Daniel Claar. “The Seventh Verdict” features guest vocals by Jessica Pimentel.
