MAAHES - Video zur “Keeper Of Secrets” Single
German extreme metal band MAAHES unveil their new single and video, “Keeper Of Secrets,” a track which takes listeners deep into the ancient mysteries of Egypt.
Speaking about the concept behind the song, the band explains:
“The lyrics portray a fierce guardian protecting ancient secrets within the pyramids, embodying a lion-like protector who fiercely repels invaders and treasure hunters.”
With its powerful blend of atmosphere and heaviness, “Keeper Of Secrets” showcases the band’s versatility and ability to transcend genre boundaries. The accompanying video further enhances the song’s mythological concept, immersing viewers into a timeless tale of guardianship, secrets, and defiance.
“Keeper Of Secrets” is now available on all major streaming platforms, and the official video can be experienced on Massacre Records’ official YouTube channel.

Rising from the depths of the Bavarian Forest, MAAHES return with their second full-length opus “Nechacha” – a record which is heavier, darker, and more orchestral than anything they have released before. Out on September 19, 2025 via Massacre Records, the album will be available as Mediabook, limited vinyl LP, and digital formats. Pre-order/pre-save it now: https://save-it.cc/massacre/nechacha
Named after the flagellum, the ancient Egyptian symbol of dominion held by pharaohs and gods, “Nechacha” marks a new era for MAAHES: epic arrangements, monumental orchestration, and a deeper descent into the blackened void — without abandoning the raw ferocity of their earlier works.
While their 2020 debut “Reincarnation” was firmly rooted in traditional black metal, “Nechacha” expands the band’s vision with cinematic scope, reminiscent of early Dimmu Borgir, yet unmistakably forged in the unique atmosphere of MAAHES.
“Nechacha” delves into ancient Egyptian ritual, occultism, divine madness, and the legacy of fallen empires. The eleven tracks move between themes of rebirth and destruction, hubris and devotion, domination and transcendence, shaping a sonic temple where myth and metal collide.

Formed in 2015 in Grafenau (Bavarian Forest, Germany), MAAHES first explored Greek mythology on their debut EP “Ancient Force” (2016), before fully embracing an Egyptian concept in music, lyrics, and aesthetics. Festival appearances followed at Wolfszeit and Ragnarök (2018).
In 2020, the band signed with MDD Records and released their debut full-length “Reincarnation”, followed by extensive touring across clubs, festivals, and Eastern Europe. Performances included Dark Easter Metal Meeting, Barther Metal Open Air, and tours with Eisregen.
With “Nechacha”, set for release in September 2025, MAAHES stand ready to ascend to the next level—armed with an album that is at once uncompromisingly black, deeply atmospheric, and conceptually unyielding.
