Maltese metal is a dynamic and evolving music scene hailing from the small Mediterranean island nation of Malta. Characterized by its heavy riffs, thunderous drumming, and intense vocals, the genre encompasses a range of metal subgenres including doom, death, black, and thrash metal. Maltese metal bands often weave in a sense of the island's rich history and culture, which can be reflected in their lyrics and thematic elements, occasionally touching upon mythological and religious references that resonate with Malta's storied past. The scene, while relatively niche due to Malta's size, is fiercely passionate, with bands like Forsaken and Abysmal Torment achieving recognition beyond the island's shores, thereby embedding Malta onto the global metal map with their distinct, hard-hitting sound and fervent performances.
