Guitar, Bass
Karl Friggieri has been active in the Maltese metal underground scene since 1995.
Phantom Lord: (1999 – 2004)
Phantom Lord, a thrash/speed metal quintet which had some early power metal melodic influences. Playing bass guitar alongside his brother Robert on drums, Aldo Chircop and Mario Cassar on guitars and Andre’ Spiteri on vocals, Karl contributed to writing the lyrics on a number of the band’s tracks as well as lending a hand in the composition of various tracks. Unfortunately, the band’s original material from this period was only played live on a few occasions
with the 7-minute track Faded Spirit being the only track which was ever released through the band’s MySpace page
.

The band played quite a few gigs including a number of major Metal festivals in Malta. In 2016 the band released its debut album The Master Plan, which was soon followed by a mini-tour in the UK and Italy to promote the album. In 2018 the single Father of the Wolf, a power metal interpretation of the Amon Amarth track was recorded as a limited release on all major digital platforms. The band is currently on an indefinite hiatus. There are plans to release a more material in the near future.
Kill ’em All: (2016 – 2017)
