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.

Saħħar < Back Saħħar started as the brainchild of Marton Saliba, with a focus on creating harsh and extreme music which coincided with Black Metal. Some of the tracks were raw and blast-beat fueled while others took a more mid-tempo approach while layered with synth and samples, and sometimes a blend in between. Saħħar’s first demo (Genesis of Demise) and album (Maġija Sewda) a year later were received locally and the greater underground scene in the myspace days with varied interest. Following a well-received split (Thine Triumphant Death) and subsequent album which was never truly released, Saħħar went on an indefinite hiatus. It was in 2013 that Saħħar came back with a vengeance with his folklore and mid-tempo and synth-heavy EP (Mera Mkissra). This was followed by a slew of EPs and Albums, averaging a release per year until 2020, the pandemic bringing everything to an unfortunate halt whilst still writing and preparing new music in the studio ready to be released at the opportune time. The album launch of the 2015 Album (Kruha u Kefrija) also marked the first of Saħħar’s live performances, which culminated in Opening/Supporting acts for Destroyer 666, Black Metal Legends Mayhem, and industrial titans Gothminister. During the pandemic, Saħħar was busy recording online shows for Malta's first online stream, Metal Injection’s ‘Slayathome’ series and the online festival Grimfest. In early 2020, Saħħar was nominated in the Malta Music Awards in the ‘Metal’ category and ‘Album in Maltese’ category. In late 2022, Saħħar embarked with a few trusted friends/session musicians on his first tour which spanned 9 consecutive days over 4 countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania) resulting in a thrilling and quite successful adventure. Saħħar is best described as ‘Ruinous’ Black Metal, where it describes his inclusion of larger-than-life symphonies, contrasted with minimal, almost doom-like riffs, all the way up to tremolo-intense barrages to synth/sample ambient tracks, giving a wide range of black metal to be savoured in the 100+ song discography. Lyrical themes vary from occult/folklore fusion to the death of an individual to genocidal to misanthropic cataclysms. At the time of writing, Saħħar is open for booking both locally and overseas and is working on a new album which is tentatively scheduled for release in the 3rd quarter of 2023. As a person, Saħħar maintains a professional no-nonsense attitude while still remaining interactive and appreciative of fans and followers.

< Back Patrick Camilleri Drums Patrick is the first Maltese drummer to go to London to study at Drumtech, where he was tutored under the supervision of international artists the likes of Darryn Farrugia (one of Australia’s most accomplished drummers) and Brazilian percussionist Bosco De Oliviera, who has performed at major international jazz festivals (Nice, Vienna, Montreux, North Sea, Montreux-Detroit), as well as at Glastonbury, Reading, Womad and festivals and major venues around the world. Patrick’s experience as a blues drummer in Malta has given him secondto-none feel and technique in all the grooves associated with blues and blues-rock; none more important than the shuffle. This ability has established him as Malta’s very own “King of the shuffle”, and his involvement in Vinyl Paradise puts this talent on display in every performance.

< Back Gordon "Gordo" O'Reilly Vocals, Guitars JM Photography Gordon O'Reilly's story is a bit like a rock 'n' roll road trip—starting in London, zipping across to Los Angeles and Nashville, swinging back to London, and finally kicking back in Malta. His first steps into music is thanks to his mom's Beatles obsession and his dad's DIY mixtapes from the radio. Metal and punk soon crashed the party, and Gordon was all in. O'Reilly's musical education is self-taught, mastering instruments including guitar, bass, drums, piano, and banjo through personal exploration and determination. His professional music career, which began in the early '90s, saw him playing with numerous bands (Molar, Mugpunter, Clench, Slack Planet to name a few) and recording albums, marking the start of a diverse and evolving career in music. As the guitarist and vocalist for Drowning Sorrows, O'Reilly's role is deeply rooted in family connections, with band members who are quite literally family. His musical influences are as varied as his background, drawing from a wide spectrum of genres and periods, which all contribute to his distinct tradesman like musical style—." Beyond Drowning Sorrows, O'Reilly explores other musical avenues through his solo project, Ancient Remains, a dark ambient/dungeon synth endeavour, performing occasional session bass duties for Sahhar and numerous other projects released through his Bat Soup Studio. Driven by an obsession with music and a continuous desire to write new songs, O'Reilly aims to perpetually improve and surprise himself with new creations. His approach to music is not just about personal achievement but also about helping others find their confidence and voice in the industry. This ethos is evident in his interest in collaborating with individuals who are less confident in their abilities, aiming to support their growth rather than seeking collaborations based solely on fame or success. O'Reilly's commitment to releasing new music, both with Drowning Sorrows and through his solo projects, keeps his fans engaged and showcases his relentless creativity and productivity. With Bat Soup Studio/Drowning Sorrows releasing a new song weekly on platforms like Spotify and YouTube, and Ancient Remains poised to release a full-length album and perform in Ireland in August 2024, O'Reilly's schedule is a testament to his dedication to his craft. For O'Reilly, music is not just an art form but a means of survival and self-expression, providing solace during challenging times and allowing him to convey a message of perseverance and self-improvement. His hobbies, including a penchant for fantasy movies, art, and tabletop gaming, alongside a humorous acknowledgment of drinking, further color his creative process, offering a glimpse into the man behind the music. O'Reilly's journey encapsulates the essence of what it means to be a musician in today's world—a blend of passion, perseverance, and the ability to remain authentic in an ever-changing landscape. His story is a reminder of music's transformative power and the impact of fostering a supportive and creative community within the industry.
