Shadows of Immortality

Shadows of Immortality descends into the oldest epic of humankind—the legend of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, two-thirds divine and one-third mortal. It is a tale of conquest, brotherhood, loss, and the desperate search to overcome death. This album captures the rise and fall of the Sumerian hero with unrelenting heaviness, weaving ancient myth into riffs that rumble like city walls and drums that echo like temple hymns. It is both a celebration of glory and a lament for mortality, mirroring Gilgamesh’s journey from arrogance to wisdom.

Every track unfolds a chapter of the epic: The Walls of Uruk opens with towering strength, proclaiming the might of the king. The Wild Man of the Steppe surges with primal energy, conjuring Enkidu’s untamed spirit before his fated bond with Gilgamesh. The Cedar Forest hammers with relentless aggression, recounting the heroes’ battle against Humbaba. When the saga turns, The Death of Enkidu drops into mournful dirges, heavy and sorrowful, as the hero learns grief for the first time. From there, the odyssey darkens: Journey to Utnapishtim carries echoes of storms and floods, while The Plant of Rebirth strains with fragile hope, only to be consumed by inevitable despair.

Shadows of Immortality is more than myth retold—it is the sound of humanity’s oldest questions rendered in steel and fury. Through its crushing weight and haunting atmosphere, the album reflects the truth Gilgamesh discovered: that immortality lies not in escaping death, but in the stories we leave behind. It is a record as timeless as the clay tablets themselves, roaring with the voice of gods, heroes, and the shadows that bind them.
