< Back Efrem Arpa Guitars Alexia Baldacchino Having harboured a lifelong passion for music, Efrem has been playing guitar since 1997 and although he quickly turned to the electric guitar, he originally started his musical education on a classical steel-string instrument; a medium he still uses to this day even as a basis to compose some of the heaviest parts he had written for the band.

< Back Leo Stivala Vocals unknown Leo Stivala, a true head banger, highly influenced by old school traditional heavy metal and pure traditional epic heavy doom. In the mid-late eighties he decided to start learning guitar and formed a band called North Winds which lasted only for a year. A few months later Leo attempted bass guitar duties in another band, very Mercyful Fate/King Diamond influenced, tentatively called Nightfall but ended too soon. In 1989 he was approached by Kevin Azzopardi to try to sing in his new band called Blind Alley. Leo took a try and things seemed to work out. History goes that Blind Alley went through some member changes in the early days and after the inclusion of Albert Bell on bass guitar the band’s moniker changed to Forsaken. Leo kept the vocal duties in Forsaken but also contributed musically and lyrically every now and then. As years passed Forsaken grew stronger as an outfit and so did Leo vocally and as a front man, gaining experience in studio and in gigs locally and abroad with Forsaken. In 2006 Leo was approached by the Greek Epic Metal band Reflection to be the vocalist for the band. Leo’s first gig with Reflection was as support to the mighty Solitude Aeturnus which was an instant success. Leo’s adventures in Greece continued with other gigs and also recording vocals for Reflection’s third full length album called “When Shadows Fall” released in 2008 by Cruz del Sur redords. Unfortunately in 2012 Leo had to amicably leave from Reflection but still continued with his vocals responsibilities in Forsaken. Leo has also contributed and guested vocals in various releases from bands namely Lucid Dreaming (Germany), Martyrium (Malta), Arkham Witch (UK) and Vestal Claret (USA), Monasterium (Poland), Void Moon (Sweden), Draugul (Sweden), The Cross (Brasil) Leo now also sings with a new Epic Doom band called Anchorite, a band formed by himself and Void Moon bassist Peter Svensson. Anchorite released their debut album “Further From Eternity” on GMR Records in November 2020 and are penning new songs for a follow up album Discography Date Title Type Listen Member of : Follow the artist

< Back Paul Formosa Drums Modern Tribe Photography Paul Formosa is a drummer originating from the island of Gozo, who has been active in the local underground scene since 2012. He picked up the drumsticks at the age of 16 after being enchanted by the performance of Metallica’s Lars Ulrich in their San Diego gig in 1992, on the DVD ‘Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge’. Ascendor: (2012 – present) Paul was the founder of the Gozitan Metal band Ascendor. Guitarists Andy Fava and Joe Costa, bassist Blasio Muscat and vocalist Steve Muscat completed the line-up and performed several gigs across both islands. They had the honour of sharing the stage with massive bands such as Angel Witch and Evil Invaders as well as making it to the finals of the Hard Rock Rising Battle of the bands in 2013. Between 2012 and 2018, Ascendor released three studio albums; ‘Becoming’, ‘Drive my Demons Away’ and ‘Disturb the Dust’, all of which were heavily influenced by thrash metal. They released their most recent record ‘Circle of Violence’ in 2020 and the latter is considered as a pure old school thrash metal album from start to end. Upper Lip: (2018 - 2019) In the summer of 2018, Upper Lip’s founding member, lead guitarist Joseph Azzopardi asked Paul to temporarily fill in as the band’s drummer until they find a permanent replacement. During his time with the Gozitan rock band, Paul played numerous gigs as well as recording six of the ten tracks on Upper Lip’s debut album ‘Deep Within’. Angelcrypt: (2018 - 2019) Paul occupied the drum stool of local Melodeath titans Angelcrypt in 2018 and during the following year, he played at the annual editions of ‘Metal Over Malta’ and ‘Metal United Worldwide’ as well as touring with the band in Croatia, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Germany. The pinnacle of this experience was when Paul got the opportunity to contribute to and record the drums for Angelcrypt’s album ‘Dawn of the Emperor’. Paul had to reluctantly part ways with Angelcrypt solely due to the hectic and demanding nature of their touring schedule. Sonic Storm: (2020 - present) While working on Ascendor’s 2020 release ‘Circle of Violence’, Paul was asked to join Karl Friggieri and Francesco Degabriele in Sonic Storm. He has played a number of gigs with Sonic Storm while contemporarily working on the release of their debut album ‘Keys to Your Ruin’, which should be released in 2023. Zabbeth: (Session) In 2022 Sean Attard (Chaos) produced and released a Bathory worship album called ‘Zabbeth’ and asked Paul to contribute his drumming to the record.
