Sydney Metal Artist Part Paladin Unleashes Ferocious New Single Anunnaki

Sydney-based metal force Part Paladin has returned with his explosive new single Anunnaki, premiering exclusively today ahead of its official release tomorrow. The track marks the second glimpse of his forthcoming album Temet Nosce, set to arrive on September 12, 2025.

Dark, urgent, and confrontational, Anunnaki blends heavy riffs with brooding atmospherics to deliver a powerful statement on humanity’s decline. Inspired by ancient Mesopotamian myth, the track imagines the Anunnaki—cosmic creators from another realm—returning to find modern society plagued by chaos, greed, and self-destruction. Lyrically and sonically, the song challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable questions about discipline, consciousness, and what it truly means to be evolved.

The creative vision behind Part Paladin is Sydney musician, vocalist, and producer Dux Newton, a rising voice in Australia’s heavy music scene. Known for fusing alternative rock textures with modern metal ferocity, Newton pushes genre boundaries while showcasing his distinctive production skills.

With its unrelenting energy, Anunnaki cements Part Paladin as one of the country’s most ambitious metal acts. Heavy music fans should mark their calendars for Temet Nosce—but for now, they can stream Anunnaki first, exclusively on AAA Backstage.
