< Back Alex Carachi Vocals Alexia Baldacchino A medical doctor by profession, Alex’s lyrics are influenced by his interest in poetry, literature and history, most prominently eighteenth century UK poets such as Alfred Lord Tennyson, Rudyard Kipling, and William Wordsworth, as well as nineteenth century Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. In his own words, “lyrics, like life are poetry, and in their sorrow we find the end so that anew we can gain life”. Lyrics throughout the songs touch upon themes of betrayal (as in the track Yudah), war, and the frailty of mankind in a world that is concerned more with imagery and corruption rather than the individual himself. The emotional charge in his singing strongly reflects the intensity of the lyrics whilst also imbuing the songs with a creative element at the appropriate moments. The stylistic trait comes mostly to life along his occasional use of the ancient Italic language of Latin as well as verses that come with direct poetic and literary references.

< Back Enzo Guzman Singer Enzo Gusman, born Laurence Gusman on August 9, 1947, in Sliema, Malta, was a beloved Maltese singer, broadcaster, and entertainer who left an indelible mark on the island's music scene. Discovered by the late comic actor Johnnie Navarro at a young age, Gusman's journey into the world of entertainment began early. He showcased his vocal talent as the vocalist of the Maltese pop group "The Boys" in 1964 before embarking on a career in banking. However, his passion for music persisted, leading him to participate in numerous international song festivals where he garnered acclaim and recognition. Throughout his career, Gusman's versatility as a singer was evident as he effortlessly transitioned between romantic ballads, catchy pop tunes, and even opera. He captivated audiences with his performances, winning prestigious awards such as the 'First Prize' at the Golden Orpheus Festival in Bulgaria and being declared the Best Interpreter at the Istanbul International Song Festival. Additionally, Gusman's own compositions became cherished classics in Malta and beyond, ensuring his enduring legacy in the Maltese diaspora. Beyond his musical accomplishments, Gusman was a prominent figure in Maltese radio and television, hosting popular shows like "Bejn il-Ħbieb" on Calypso Radio, where he endeared himself to listeners by affectionately referring to them as friends. He used his platform to advocate for causes close to his heart, notably championing blood donation and promoting the Maltese language and heritage. Gusman's dedication to his craft and his contributions to Maltese culture were recognized with awards such as the Midalja għall-Qadi tar-Repubblika in 2008, honoring his decades-long commitment to entertainment and broadcasting. His influence extended beyond his professional achievements, as he also left a lasting impact on those who knew him personally. Fondly remembered for his warmth, humor, and love for his homeland, Gusman touched the lives of many, leaving behind a rich musical legacy that will continue to resonate for generations to come.

< Back Hellcommander Vargblod Vocals, Bass, Guitars Hellcommander Vargblod (real name: Mark Azzopardi), born in Malta in 1982, discovered the world of Metal back when he was still very young, remembering his dad and uncle playing Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and other 70s rock bands when he was still 5-6 years of age. About some time later he began to learn guitar with his dad, but it wasn’t until the early teens that H.V. took it more seriously on his instrument, and that was when he formed his first band – Hell Rats, together with 2 other friends from school. It was kind of a thrashy mix with NWOBHM and was also at the time already adding some black metal influences in the songwriting. At the same time he was also playing in another garage band called Mannaris. In the late 90s H.V. left these projects and joined local symphonic black metal act Martyrium with whom he played for 12 years, recording 3 full length albums, several gigs and two European tours. In 2008 he also joined Maltese hard rock veterans Lord Adder and did some local shows with them, while at the same time joining veteran thrash metal band X-Vandals with whom he played until 2013. In 2011 though, he felt that the style of Martyrium was moving farther away from his personal tastes and decided to go out solo, and actually formed two “one-man-band” projects – Draugul and Khaospath. Draugul was a folk/pagan/black metal project and under that name he released 4 full lengths, 1 split and 1 EP until 2019. With Khaospath, H.V. released 3 full lengths. At this time we must mention that H.V. had moved from Malta to Northern Sweden (April 2014) and shortly after, the one man band Khaospath became a full membered band as he found similar individuals with the same tastes almost immediately who showed interest in his material. Together with the new members, Khaospath performed various gigs in Sweden, Bulgaria, Finland and even appeared in Malta once again at the Xtreme Metal Assault in 2016. At around 2016, H.V guested on some guitar parts together with Lord Ahriman from Dark Funeral, with a band named Thokkian Vortex, the new project of the ex-frontman of Norwegian Black Metal act - Ancient. In 2019 though, due to a line up change in Khaospath, H.V. forged an alliance with Bjarkan and continued the project under a new name – Myronath, which is actually 2 Elvish words conjoined, and meaning “The Dark (or Hidden) Temple”. During the years Myronath saw quite a few members leaving their mark in the band with members like Lars Broddesson (ex-Marduk) who played drums on the 1st album “Into the Qliphoth”, and Fredrik Andersson (ex-Amon Amarth) who played drums on the 2nd release “Djevelkraft”. In May 2024 Myronath shall be releasing its third blasphemy with the Italian record label “Dusktone”. H.V and Bjarkan also formed another project together called Dodskold with which they released one album “Ödesriket” up till now. During the “Djevelkraft” period, H.V. and Bjarkan joined forces with the Norwegian Black Metal veterans Ragnarok and both were active in the band for 2 years, playing various renowned festivals and gigs, until late 2023 when all members but one left Ragnarok for reasons beyond their control, and formed a new entity – Helvitnir (Old Norse, meaning “Wolves of the Underworld”). The band consists of H.V. on bass and vocals, Bjarkan on guitars, Ihizahg (ex-Mayhem live) on guitars and none other than Jan Axel “Hellhammer” Blomberg from Mayhem on the drums. The band is set to record their first album together in late 2024 and to be released as well under the Italian label “Dusktone”. In his home studio – “Minas Morgul”, H.V. also helped out fellow brother in metal Zain with his debut solo album “Saint Vermin – Together as None” in 2023 and did mixing and mastering for the album. With Zain, and as well Clint Aquilina and Clayton Cini, H.V is currently writing material for a death metal project (Horned Majesty) that started out as a side thought but moved on to get a proper release. No concrete plans for the release are planned so far though, apart from a digital single released in late 2023. Since late 2023 Mark commenced collaborating with New Yorker Liliana Amatoria who approached him with her new project. Her debut EP featuring this collaboration titled 'Forgive me Father, I AM SIN!, was released on November 19, 2023. No rest for the wicked they say, and so it is, as while H.V. was writing material for the active bands, he ended up with extra stuff that did not quite fit the style that the bands were playing at that particular time. He decided to release that material as a solo EP with the same label he had been working with for Draugul, Khaospath and Dodskold. The project was named after his alias – Hellcommander and the EP was out on the 2nd week of February 2024 under the german record label “Pesttanz Klangschmiede”. H.V is exclusively endorsed by Ibanez Guitars and Richter Straps. And the journey into the Abyss continues… Discography Date Title Type Listen 2024 Year of the Goat EP Member of : Follow the artist

< Back Kieron Spiteri Vocalist | Guitarist Kieron always wanted to find something to put his time and effort in when he was a child. After trying a countless number of sports, he finally tried guitar at around age 13 and didn’t pick it up fully until the age of 14. At 14 Kieron used his mum’s old classical guitar from when she was 14. Eventually he saved enough money and got himself an electric guitar. Kieron quickly picked it up and taught himself how to play it. Through guitar he started getting into proper music and finding his favorite genres, but after playing indie on guitar for a certain amount of time he found it boring and that’s when Kieron discovered Metallica at 14 years old. He quickly learned all the songs from Metallica’s Ride the Lightning, and got a 2nd guitar 1 year into playing, that had 24 frets and proper hum-bucker pick-ups for a high gain sound. When Kieron got the new guitar, he didn’t go out for the whole summer because he only practiced the guitar for hours on end trying to learn a song harder the previous one with new/different techniques. Kieron started taking guitar seriously by this time and felt like guitar and music was the part of him that was missing that’s finally found. Eventually Kieron grew fonder of Metal and heavy music, he grew my hair out, changed clothing styles and even got more guitars that were associated with the genre. In fact, flying V’s are his favorite guitar shape. Kieron always wanted to be in a band from when he was 14 years old. At around 16 years old, he just got out of a failed band that was made for a battle of the bands contest and soon after started Impertex (around April 2023) with the vocalist at the time. Impertex started out purely for fun, until eventually Kieron went to guitar lessons to learn music theory (around July 2023) and that’s where he met the current guitarist for Impertex (Marta Privitera) which knew a bassist (Michael Vassallo) and a drummer (Ezra Grech) who are now Impertex members. Impertex started off as a 5 piece rock band, but after a few practices they realized the same love they have for Thrash Metal. Eventually labelling themselves as a thrash band. In August 2024, is when they really started taking themselves seriously and aiming to be professional. However, the vocalist at the time left the band and Impertex tried getting a new member, but no one stood out/ fit in with the chemistry of the band. In the meanwhile, Kieron started practicing vocals at home when no one could hear him (the same time Impertex was searching for a new member), taking inspiration from heavier bands like Hellripper, Venom, Bathory and Death. And one day at practice Kieron decided to give vocals a try , and the other band members really loved his style. Discography Date Title Type Listen Member of : Follow the artist
