Description
The first edition of the Malta Doom Metal Festival was held in 2009 and will be remembered as a great celebration of doom metal in all its various forms and the great community spirit of the local doom scene. It was headlined by Italian epic/progressive legends Dark Quarterer and featured local doom stalwarts Forsaken and Nomad Son with Victims of Creation making a great comeback to the stage after several years of absence. The first edition's line-up was completed by new comers Dawn of Anguish and the female-fronted Weeping Silence who ensured that all the shades of doom were well represented in the first edition. The festival came to fruition after a successful Malta Doom Night at Poxx Bar, Paceville in 2007 that featured UK epic doom band Unsilence, Forsaken and Nomad Son. Another related event titled Doom Metal Assault (with three bands on each edition) has also been run successfully twice since then with Hellenic epic gods Reflection and prog doom-death veterans The Prophecy from England gracing local stages. All these events and the MDM festival in particular highlight the budding doom scene in Malta. The 2010 edition of the festival should continue to ensure that the festival continues to grow from strength to strength with work already underway for an even bigger third edition in 2011.
Doom Shall Prevail!!
