Lord Adder facebook.com/LordAdder/ < Back Lord Adder made a comeback in 2019 and they haven’t looked back since. They are on a mission to inject their strong dose of heavy metal into the music scene and they’re not planning on slowing down anytime soon. The band was one of the most followed bands in the ’90s, filling every venue they were playing at and were supporting acts to big names like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Saxon, Girls School, and Smokie. They were the first local band to release a live album which also included a VHS of the live recording studio session which was filmed in front of an audience, making it the first of its kind during that time. The band to fans’ dismay was dismantled and all members went their separate ways and ventured onto other projects. Fast forward to 2019 and frontman, musician, and songwriter Mark Spiteri wanted to reform the band this time with a slight change in lineup and with a heavier sound than that which they had bowed out of the scene with. Lord Adder’s lineup now features original members Mark Spiteri (Songwriter, frontman, and bass player) and Raymond Micallef (drummer) plus new members Robert Tomasuolo and Charles Muscat both on guitars. Just before covid hit they were part of the lineup at the warm-up party for the renowned event ‘Shellshock Festival’ and more gigs were lined up for 2020/2021 however like many artists alike everything was halted and put on hold. Frontman Mark Spiteri tells us that he used the time of the pandemic to write some of his best material yet. ‘’The pandemic gave me the time to focus more on songwriting without all the distractions and life in general getting in the way. I wrote over 16 songs and as soon as restrictions eased and we could get back to rehearsing, the songs came to life with the rest of the band’’. He goes on to tell us ‘’ We could have waited and released the albums separately but with all the doom and gloom going on the world right now we wanted to give a glimpse of hope and courage to all those listening through the best way we know how – our music’’ Band Members Robert Tomasuolo Guitars Robert Tomasuolo Ray "Hamiemu" Micallef Drums Ray "Hamiemu" Micallef Mark Spiteri Bass, Vocals Mark Spiteri Discography Date Title Type Listen Buy the band's merch Follow the band Previous Band Next Band

Haine facebook.com/official.haine < Back Deathcore act Haine was established in the fall of 2017. The band's mission statement was simple; forgo all preconceived notions and pre-existing scene stereotypes to create their own brand of extreme music. Haine's sound was moulded by influences from a vast variety of musical genres, resulting in a deeply layered sound combining heavy grooves and crushing breakdowns, punctuated by melodic overtones. Haine released their first three singles, 'This Darkness', 'Our Own Messiahs' and 'I, Empyreal' in 2018 with the intention of showcasing the band's sound. These were soon followed by a fourth single and first music video, 'Breeding Falsity' in 2019. At the end of 2019, the band started planning and pre-production for its debut self-titled EP release. The EP was recorded by David Depasquale at SpineSplitter Studio in the summer of 2020, and its first single 'Burn it Down' was released in the November that followed. Its accompanying music video was met with high praise, with Deathcore giants Shadow of Intent joining the fold by reacting to it on a live stream. Following this, the EP was released on the 6th of January, 2021, with excellent feedback coming from the local scene. This release also allowed them to start networking beyond our shores, on the international scene. During 2023, Haine will also be recording their first full-length album, which will consist of 10 tracks. The band is currently handling pre-production prior to entering the studio, and the album will be a step forward in the musical trajectory of Haine’s sound.

Weeping Silence < Back Weeping Silence is a Melodic Metal band with Death and Progressive Metal influences based in Malta. The band has evolved steadily since its formation in 1998 and has since released four albums with record labels, the latest one being through Massacre Records (DE). Originally established in the late 90’s as a Gothic Metal act, Weeping Silence started its journey with its first milestone being the release of “End of an Era” in 2008. After a series of lineup changes, the band morphed into the Female-Fronted, Gothic Metal band it was mostly known for. In 2011, Weeping Silence released its second album ‘Theatre of Life’ that was characterised by mid-pace gothic elements and grandiose orchestrations. The track ‘Dark Waters’ off this album was voted first in the EKR A-List People’s Choice Poll. After the release of this album, the band decided to open the door for international festivals and tours, and opportunities started presenting themselves immediately. Weeping Silence entered the studio again to record ‘For the Unsung’. Released in deluxe digipack edition in 2012 by Ravenheart Rec (UK), it features male backing vocals for the first time, and marked a step towards a more pronounced Doom Metal element in the band. Within this more aggressive, gothic-doom framework, Anders Jacobsson of renowned Swedish act Draconian featured as guest vocalist. Towards the end of 2012, Weeping Silence made a change in the vocal line-up. Diane Camenzuli & Dario Pace Taliana joined ranks and a year later the band was nominated for the ‘Best Heavy Metal Band’ award in the National Malta Music Awards (MMAs), and won the ‘Best Band of the Year 2012’ in the Female Metal Webzine awards. The fourth album ‘Opus IV Oblivion‘, released with heavy-weights Massacre Records (DE), was a Gothic Doom Metal album that brought together the best that Weeping Silence had to offer: Heavy, melodic, dark and full of ambience with doom-laden riffs. This album was listed in Top 20 Best-of Album lists of 2015 in several webzines & Top-10 Awards in Metal Storm, with an array of great reviews & press-clips in magazines such as Metal Hammer, Legacy & Orkus. 2018 was a pivotal year for Weeping Silence that saw a significant member and style reshuffle of the band. Founding member and guitarist Mario Ellul, vocalist Dario Pace Taliana and keyboardist Alison Ellul decided to continue with Weeping Silence and look for new members. Drummer Julian ‘Julinu’ Mallia, guitarist Glenn Paul Pace, and eventually bassist Manuel Spiteri brought in new influences that markedly developed the band’s creative direction. The eclectic mix of old and new members led Weeping Silence to evolve into the male-fronted, melodic metal (with death and prog metal influences) band that it is now. The current album, due to be released in 2023, is a solid manifestation of the band’s artistic statement and is intended to propel the band into a promising creative path.

Outbound < Back OutBound is a Maltese alternative rock band known for their raw energy, heartfelt songwriting, and dynamic live performances. Formed in November 2022 after an impromptu gig at Wild Honey Bar in Valletta, the original lineup featured Steve Galea (guitar), Catherine Gatt (vocals), Louie Farrugia (drums), and Mikhail Farrugia (bass). What began as a spontaneous performance quickly evolved into a full-fledged band driven by a shared passion for music. Drawing inspiration from iconic rock acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arctic Monkeys, The Police, The Killers, and U2, OutBound carved a space for themselves on the local scene. Gigging extensively across Malta and Gozo at renowned venues like Exiles, La Bottega, Zion Reggae Bar, Crossroads Spinola, Front Gozo, Thirsty Barber, and the Corinthia Hotel, the band steadily built a loyal fanbase through high-energy sets and a growing social media presence. The band found its creative sanctuary in "Nannu Mike's" basement in St. Julian’s, which became their main rehearsal space and songwriting hub. It was in this cozy, underground setting that they wrote their first original song, Nothing Comes Easy—a title that would later echo the band’s own journey through artistic and personal challenges. Following a busy summer of performances and songwriting in 2023, the band faced internal creative differences, leading to a temporary split in late 2024. A rejected recording offer and diverging artistic directions caused the pause—but not for long. In February 2024, OutBound reformed with a refreshed lineup: Steve Galea (guitar), Catherine Gatt (vocals), Louie Farrugia (drums), and newcomer Matthew Drago on bass. This second chapter marked a turning point, as the band teamed up with producer Chris Gatt to begin recording their long-awaited original material, with band members also stepping in as co-producers. Their debut single Nothing Comes Easy was sent to the U.S. for mixing and mastering by two heavyweights in the industry—Grammy-winning mixing engineer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5 – Songs About Jane), who praised the song's "muscular and melodic, powerful sound," and mastering legend Dave Collins (Soundgarden – Superunknown). The result is a track that captures OutBound’s essence: gritty, emotional, and relentlessly determined. Released on March 19, 2025, Nothing Comes Easy is a powerful anthem of perseverance and passion—a musical reflection of the band’s commitment to staying authentic and resilient. The song’s message encourages listeners to pursue their dreams despite setbacks, a sentiment born directly from the band’s lived experience. OutBound is currently back in the studio working on new material and preparing for more collaborations with Wallace, Collins, and Chris Gatt. With their debut single setting the tone, the band is poised to take their sound to even greater heights.

Manic Satin < Back Manic Satin is a Malta-based rock band blending classic rock, blues, psychedelia, and progressive influences into a sound that feels both vintage and contemporary.

The project brings together Joel Baldacchino, Kyle Fenech, Sarah Azzopardi, Grace Elizabeth Victoria, and Jake, each contributing their own personality and influences to the mix. From theatrical vocals and groove-driven rhythms to atmospheric guitars and hard-hitting drums, Manic Satin creates music that moves between soulful melodies, heavy riffs, psychedelic textures, and explosive live energy. While some members bring years of experience from previous bands and projects, others are stepping into their first serious musical journey, giving the band a unique balance between youthful ambition and seasoned creativity. The result is a sound that feels alive, unpredictable, and constantly evolving. Currently focused on writing, recording, rehearsing, and performing both original music and selected covers, the band continues to build momentum and shape its identity. Like every band, Manic Satin had to start somewhere, but behind the covers is a strong creative drive pushing toward something original and lasting. Beyond the riffs and rehearsals, the band is built on friendship, chaos, humour, and the shared belief that music remains one of the most powerful ways to connect people. And whenever you hear “The Manic Satin”… prepare for a good time!!.

Noogie's Crew < Back Noogie’s Crew was the dream of Nigel ‘Noogie’ Buttigieg, who at the age of sixteen, wanted to form a Hard Rock / Heavy Metal band with the intention of providing the rock scene a different sound, a sound that merged old school rock melodies and riffs with the rougher edges of modern metal. So when Noogie, on guitars and lead vocals, was joined by Charles Buttigieg and drummer Mario Dalli, they hit the ground running writing songs for Noogie’s Crew. Initially they perfomed as a trio, but in 2011 they were joined by guitarist Clive Brincat, playing at available musical venues on the Maltese islands. Another differnet thing in Noogie’s Crew was that both Charles and Mario did backing vocals to support Noogie in creating a differnet sound. In 2012, when Clive left the band, Noogie decided to concentrate more on his other venture, Infinite Loop . Noogie’s Crew took form again in 2017 , initially again as the original trio, when the first self-titled EP Noogie’s Crew, was recorded. In 2017 the band was joined by David Cassar Torreggiani on lead guitar, particpating in festivals, one of which was headlined by Blaze Bailey at the Orpheum in Gzira. When David Cassar Torrgiani decided to move on, Jonathan Camilleri joined the crew. With the inclusion of Jonathan, the band continued to improve its song writing abilites and gig performances. In 2019 the band supported Dee Snider, Kryptos and Kiss Forever. 2019 was also the year when Noogie’s Crew launched a full album entitled ‘ Till Dark Returns’. This was an album that had something to offer to all types of metalheads; classic rock sounds, headbanging riffs plus speed, tightness, power and melody. An album that was given rave reviews by foreign rock magazines and podcasts. Noogie’s Crew did their last gig on 30th October 2021, when Noogie and Jonathan both separately decided to continue their musical life in different form.
