The most famous band from Malta, is Forsaken, they play Heavy Doom Metal, with a revivalist touch.
And now, fans of Brutal Death Metal, step forward. Not that I'm particularly fond of this kind of music, but in Malta is the most popular genre in the Metal scene. So, this time, I have no other choice to give them some airplay here in the blog. Here go three bands in a row.
Beheaded... wait the first minute and a half before judging them.
Abysmal Torment... whose drummer recently passed away "in an accident where he got stuck under the arm of a small bulldozer, in an industrial area near Blata I-Gholja in Mosta"
And Martyrium, here in a live performance.
Finally for something more peaceful, Stillborn, which is classified as Symphonic Metal probably because they use a lot Keyboard arrangements.
Here is a life presentation in Hard Rock Café.
As you can see, it's still in a very amateur way that Heavy Metal is done in Malta, but if there is talent in the same amount there is will, then who knows, one of this days can appear in this Mediterranean island a band capable of a respectful international career.
