Abstract We use consistent truncations in supergravity to show that the backreaction of N rotating M5-branes wrapped on a Riemann surface leads to asymptotically AdS5 black hole solutions of 11d supergravity. We discuss the thermodynamic properties of these black holes focusing on their supersymmetric limit. The Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the supersymmetric black holes scales as N 3 and can be reproduced by the superconformal index of the holographically dual 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SCFTs of class S $$ \mathcal{S} $$ .
