A band from Bavaria, 3000 kilometers away from the Valley of the Kings has set itself the task of musically translating the atmosphere of ancient Egypt. Under the banner of the lion-headed god MAAHES - the lord of darkness, the winds, and the slaughter - the musicians have come together to combine classical Black Metal with subtle oriental scales and solos. Live the group realizes a stage design that makes you feel as if you were looking into a ritualistic death chamber of ancient Egypt. If Maahes brings back memories of legendary albums like "Storm of the Light's Bane", "Deathcult Armageddon" or "God hates us all", you will probably not be too wrong. But also cross-references to Thrash and Death metal MAAHES allow themselves to express the compositional ideas without disturbing barriers.
