Named after the oldest city in Mesopotamia, the formation from Munich is opening a new chapter of Oriental Extreme Metal. Driven by fast tempos and blastbeast-oriented drums, Eridu builds a bridge between pounding Death metal and melodic Black metal - where gloomy riffs meet an epic wall of sound. Designed with oriental narrative structures, Eridu stands for sophisticated and diverse extreme metal that blends the boundaries between genres. Fans of Nile, Melechesch, Behemoth, and Keep of Kalessin will get what they're looking for. With the album Enuma Elish, the band ERIDU revives the legacy of the long-lost Mesopotamian civilization. Based on the first words of the Babylonian creation myth of the same name: "When the heavens were not yet named" (transl.: "Enuma Elish"), ERIDU lead their audience into spheres of the early Babylonian pantheon, in which Babylon's city god Marduk fights for supremacy in a bloody war. Legendary battles, mystical god cults and the creation of planets, earth and man help Enuma Elish to create a dense and sinister atmosphere that takes the listener back to ancient Mesopotamia in full intensity. The seven cuneiform tablets of Enuma Elish are represented lyrically and thematically by seven songs in a chronological way, which makes Enuma Elish a coherent epic.
