Beheaded

Forged in 1991 on the Mediterranean island of Malta, Beheaded has long stood as a vanguard of unrelenting death metal. With over three decades of devastation behind them, the band has carved its name into the annals of the extreme music underground, weathering the storm of shifting trends and emerging stronger, darker, and more With six full-length albums to date and a performance pedigree that includes tours and festivals across Europe, the United States, and Asia, Beheaded has consistently delivered a relentless, visceral brand of metal that is both technically blistering and thematically intense, with live shows renowned for energy and raw execution, commanding respect from fans and peers alike. Their latest offering, “Għadam” is a masterstroke in atmospheric storytelling. A chilling descent into the folkloric underworld of Malta, Għadam is steeped in superstition, religious fervor, and the spectral legacy of a nation where myth and martyrdom intertwine. Guided by the haunting narratives of Anton Grasso, Malta’s legendary horror writer, the album weaves a sonic tapestry that merges Beheaded’s crushing brutality with the solemn echoes of traditional religious harmonies and funeral marches. It is an album that doesn’t just attack. It haunts. With Għadam, Beheaded not only solidify their role as Malta’s premier extreme metal export but also elevate their sound to new, harrowing heights. A testament to the band’s unwavering spirit and evolving artistry,
