Maatkare

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 is a brutal yet reverent retelling of history, giving voice to female rulers, warriors, and visionaries erased from the pages of time.
