Adramelech, also called Adrammelech, Adramelek or Adar-malik, was a kind of sun god related to Moloch. He was first worshipped in a town called Sepharvaim. According to II Kings 17:31, the cult of Adramelech was brought by the Sepharvite colonists into Samaria: "the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim."

Baal Adramelch ("Baal" here means "Lord", not to be confused with the goetic Baal, who's been covered here before) is described as the son and murderer of Sennacherib, king of Assyria in II Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38. The concept that children were sacrificed to Adramelech remains a subject of some dispute, mainly because of a lack of archaeological proof of the existence of the large bronze statues this practice typically required.

Like many pagan gods, Adramelech is considered a demon in Judeo-Christian traditions. So he appears in Milton's Paradise Lost, where he is described as a fallen angel, vanquished by Uriel and Raphael. According to Collin de Plancy's book on demonology, Adramelech became the President of the Senate of the demons. He is also the Chancellor of Hell and supervisor of Satan's vast wardrobe. He is usually depicted with a human torso and head, and the rest of the body of a mule (or sometimes as a peacock).

A poet's description of Adramelech can be found in Robert Silverberg's short story "Basileus". Adramelech is described as "The enemy of God, greater in ambition, guile and mischief than Satan. A fiend more curst—a deeper hypocrite."
