First-Ever Death Metal Album Written in Maltese to Be Released July 25 via Agonia Records
Malta’s extreme metal torchbearers Beheaded are set to break new ground with the release of their seventh studio album, "Għadam," arriving July 25th, 2025 via Agonia Records. Accompanying this announcement, the band has unveiled a cinematic trailer for the forthcoming music video “Il-Kittieb,” directed by Raul Noise.

Marking a milestone in both Beheaded’s legacy and the broader metal landscape, "Għadam" is the first-ever death metal album written entirely in Maltese, deeply rooted in the island’s native folklore, horror, and literature. The album draws heavy inspiration from the works of renowned Maltese horror author Anton Grasso, whose macabre storytelling helped shape the album's conceptual core.
While remaining true to their signature brutal sound, Beheaded inject "Għadam" with an unsettling atmosphere, fusing the haunting sonorities of traditional religious hymns and funeral marches into a visceral death metal experience.
"Għadam" was recorded and mixed by drummer Davide Billia (Antropofagus, Coffin Birth) at MK2 Recording Studio, and mastered by Wojtek Wiesławski at Hertz Studio. The evocative album artwork features a striking photograph by Raffaele Montepaone.
