Maleth Crucis finalising debut
Maleth Crucis have announced that work on their debut EP is well under way and the band has got five out of six songs ready, while also working on the artwork.
Maleth Crucis (death metal) was formed in June 2020 by Carlo Calamatta (song writer & guitarist) and Michael Grech Sammut (vocals). With bassist Joseph Camilleri joining just after the name Maleth Crucis was chosen.
The name comes from both Phoenician and Latin language. Maleth was the name given to our country, Malta, during the Carthaginians rule around the year 480 B.C. While Crucis is the Latin word for Cross which is directly linked to the knights of Saint John.
In 2020 Michael and Carlo got the rights and ownership of a song they have written in 1992 transferred from Lithomancy to Maleth Crucis. The song titled ‘Witness of Eternity’, was reconstructed and rearranged, retaining the most important riffs that sums up its character.
Both Carlo and Michael are founders of the local death metal band Lithomancy.
‘Witness of Eternity’ was released on 16th August 2020.
