The biggest metal event on the island this year is here. Ten bands will perform alternately on two stages, at the Montekristo wine vaults, Hal-Farrug street, Luqa, this evening. The venue consists of a brand new enormous hall, home of Malta’s own Montekristo wine and Caqnu beer.

The bands taking part in this event are the best extreme metal bands the island has to offer, with styles of metal including hardcore, death metal, thrash and doom.

The bands are: Angelcrypt, Arachnid, Club Murder, Corefrequency, Ktinodia, Lithomancy, Loathe, Recoil, Slit and Weeping Silence.

Montekristo wine vaults are found by taking the road from Luqa to Qormi past Mambra and SML store, and take the road on the left at the next roundabout (the one with the “injection” monument). Thereon, direction signs lead to the wine vaults.

Transport will be provided from Valletta leaving at 5.30pm (so please be there earlier) and after the festival has ended leaving at 2.15am to wherever needed. Doors open at 5.30 p.m. and first band kicks off at 6.30pm sharp. Entrance fee shall be an economical Lm5, which is not much considering a good show from 10 great bands.

There shall be band and metal merchandise stalls, well stocked bars and a food stall. This promises to be an event that will satiate the thirst of metal lovers who have long awaited a good festival.
