Maatkare

Pharaohcious Death Metal from Netherlands/UK

In the heart of a male-dominated death metal landscape stands Maatkare – an all-female force breathing new life into the forgotten voices of history. Rooted in Egyptian mythology, Maatkare has expanded its vision beyond Egypt to illuminate the powerful women lost to time, bringing their stories into the modern world through music.

Founded in March 2020, Maatkare channels the ferocity of death and black metal, drawing influence from bands such as Nile, Scarab, Septic Flesh, Behemoth, Arch Enemy, and Kataklysm. Their music gives voice to female rulers, warriors, and visionaries erased from history.

Maatkare brings a wealth of experience and a shared mission: to resurrect history’s forgotten queens and warriors through epic soundscapes and brutal evocative metal.

Sirens of sound. Women of history. Maatkare has arrived.
