Jerusalem‑founded Melechesh return with “The Seventh Verdict”, the new track taken from their freshly released EP Sentinels of Shamash, their first official release since Enki (2015)
A fierce strike of Sumerian Black Metal infused with Thrash and Death‑driven riffing, the song channels ancient myth, divine wrath and cosmic violence.
The lyrics invoke the gods of Uruk, the anger of Inanna, the slaying of the Bull of Heaven and the eternal struggle between mankind and the divine — a ritualistic narrative wrapped in Melechesh’s unmistakable Middle Eastern fire.

Melechesh – “The Seventh Verdict” | Nuevo videoclip de la EP Sentinels of Shamash.
Los míticos Melechesh, fundados en Jerusalén en 1993, regresan con “The Seventh Verdict”, tema extraído de su nueva EP Sentinels of Shamash, su primera publicación oficial desde Enki (2015).
Una descarga feroz de Sumerian Black Metal mezclado con riffs de Thrash y Death, donde la banda vuelve a invocar mitología mesopotámica, furia divina y caos cósmico.
La letra recorre la creación del hombre, la ira de Inanna, la muerte del Toro del Cielo y la eterna condena impuesta por los dioses — un ritual narrativo envuelto en el fuego característico de Melechesh.
