Inspired by bands such as Nile or Behemoth and driven by a certain bias to the ancient Egyptian mythology Felix and Franko founded the band under the banner ov |Maat| in 2009.
It has been their aim to combine Death Metal with sounds and themes ov the ancient Egypt.
In May 2010 Hendrik found the way into the band to fill the drums.
Soon after that the band found with Kris the most fitting vocalist for the music. As bassist |Maat| recruited Friedel a few weeks later.
After a short induction the first EP has been planned. So, entering the studio, recording the first 4 tracks.
…and at the end ov Ocober 2010 |Born In Sand| beheld the light ov day.

In 2011 Alex replaced Felix as guitarist bringing a lot of new inspiration into the band. Maat became complete again with the advent of its new bass player No-L, whose skills and personality matched perfectly with the rest of the band.

In its present line-up Maat already performed several devastating gigs and is currently writing new material for the upcoming album.

In April 2013 we will enter the “Soundlodge”-Studio to record the stuff for our first full length album. They also recorded bands like “God Dethroned”, “Dew Scented” or “Defeated Sanity”.
