Killerwitch facebook.com/Killerwitch.Malta < Back Killerwitch began when guitarists Jeremy, and Owen (Sacro Sanctus/Ex-Viper Soup Complex) and bassist Gino (Characters) decided to carry on with music together after their former band 12th Ode disbanded in 2018. Luke (Mur.Doc 104) and Claudio joined the band on vocals and drums respectively in early 2019, thus the band line-up was complete. With most of the members being new as well as having taken a different musical style than 12th Ode, it was decided that the band should focus on entirely new material, and thus Killerwitch was officially born. The band started recording their debut album in early 2020, which was officially released later in November of the same year. It was shortly after the release when Killerwitch had to part ways with their original drummer Claudio in 2021 and recruited Gareth (Ex-Hecate Enthroned) in 2022, once again completing their line-up. Killerwitch's debut gig was in May 2022 supporting Pilgrimage, followed by several other gigs that same year alongside Midnight Priest, Angel Martyr, Forsaken and Storace amongst others.

Blind Saviour unknown < Back Formed in 2013 and containing elements with years of experience in the Maltese metal scene, Blind Saviour can lay claim to be Malta's only fully fledged Power Metal band. Lightning fast double bass drum rhythms, twin-lead harmonies, catchy sing-a-long refrains and orchestral textures are all combined in an elegant and exciting blend. Powerful and varied vocals together with an overall judicious use of keyboards make Blind Saviour quite a unique sounding band within the female fronted metal scene. Blind Saviour’s debut album entitled The Master Plan is a concept album containing 11 tracks, spanning over 65 minutes. The tracks follow a story line set in the post-apocalyptic future and feature characters and places in a post-apocalyptic setting created by the band itself. Here one finds many popular themes associated with this musical style: a clearly defined good vs evil plot and the inclusion of epic battles between surviving human clans and their robot oppressors. The hero and leading personality of this epic tale is Blind Saviour himself, a character who remains shrouded in mystery throughout the course of the saga. His quest is clear - to defeat his nemesis Lord Jackson Trukx and the Robot Rulers. Blind Saviour has played a number of metal festivals and gigs at various venues on the Maltese Islands. In 2016, the band ventured out on its first ever mini tour of the UK, playing at 3 venues in Norwich, Hastings and London where it took the opportunity to promote the launch of The Master Plan. In October 2017 Blind Saviour released its new single, Father of the Wolf, a cover version and power metal interpretation of the original track by the Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. In 2018 the band was invited to Ivrea, Italy to take part in the Metal Queen’s Burning Night Festival, a festival promoting female-fronted bands. Since 2019 the band has been on an indefinite hiatus. However, there are plans to release new material in the near future.

All Hands Lost < Back All Hands Lost is an instrumental progressive metal duo founded in 2020, blending elements of progressive rock with intricate guitar work and melodic soundscapes. Inspired by artists such as Plini, Intervals, Animals as Leaders, Periphery, The Contortionist, and Jakub Zytecki, the project initially began as a solo endeavor by guitarist and composer Jean Vella before evolving into a collaborative effort.

Both musicians come from extreme metal backgrounds, including bands like Haine, Bound to Prevail, Abysmal Torment, and Niket, but All Hands Lost serves as a space for more introspective and melodic compositions. Committed to a DIY approach, the duo self-records and produces their music, ensuring an organic and authentic sound. With a series of singles set for release in 2025 and new material already in the works, All Hands Lost continues to push its artistic boundaries, embracing a future of collaboration and innovation.
