Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish summons the primal chaos of Mesopotamian creation, retelling the ancient epic where gods, monsters, and cosmic waters collide to shape the world. Before the first dawn, there was only Apsu, the fresh waters, and Tiamat, the salt sea. From their union came the gods—and from their discord came war. This album captures that primeval struggle, translating the clash of order and chaos into thunderous riffs, colossal drums, and vocals that resound like the chants of forgotten temples.

Each track mirrors a chapter of the myth: Waters Before the Sky begins with brooding atmospheres, conjuring the stillness before creation. The Wrath of Tiamat explodes with fury, channeling the rise of the dragon goddess and her monstrous legions. Marduk’s Ascent rises in triumphant crescendos, as the young storm god arms himself with net, mace, and winds to face the chaos. The climax, The Shattered Body of Tiamat, unleashes unrelenting heaviness as her corpse is split to form heaven and earth. The closing anthem, The Tablet of Destinies, resounds like prophecy itself, ending the record with the weight of divine law and cosmic order.

Enuma Elish is more than an album—it is a ritual of sound, echoing the hymns carved into clay thousands of years ago. It channels the roar of the Tigris and Euphrates, the chants of Babylonian priests, and the eternal struggle between chaos and creation. With its relentless heaviness and mythic scope, the record reminds us that every civilization, like every song, is born from conflict—and that within destruction lies the seed of creation.
