Sumerian Daemons is the sixth studio album by the Greek death metal band Septicflesh. It was released by Hammerheart Records in 2003. It was originally the band's final album before they disbanded later the same year, until they reformed in 2007.
The cover art for the album was a real background constructed in accordance with Spiros' instructions by a Greek FX team, the Alahouzos Bros, that usually works for films and advertisements.
The song "Unbeliever" uses two quotes from the horror movie Evil Dead II: "Demon resurrection passages from The Book of the Dead" and "Two hours since I've translated and spoken aloud the demon resurrection passages from The Book of the Dead".
