Synopsis
This feature length documentary explores one of Malta’s most engaging underground music scenes: the extreme metal community. Through interviews with established and emerging talent, it sheds light on a long-standing and thriving sub-culture whose presence is often perceived as antagonistic to the local mainstream. Featuring interviews with some of Malta’s most renowned acts – including Beheaded, Forsaken, Loathe and Martyrium – as well as emerging bands like Align the Tide and Krishna, Brotherhood: A Story of Metal in Malta, gives us a first-hand and in-depth look at what it’s like to live and love extreme metal on our shores. Whether you’re a long-time metalhead, a newcomer to the genre in search of your style, or a curious soul who’s open to this world full of epic sound and mythic themes, then this documentary is calling you home!
Brotherhood: A Story of Metal in Malta premiered on the 16th of September 2017 at the Embassy Cinema Valletta at 10:30am to success.
Three further screenings were later available at Spazju Kreattiv, St. James Cavalier, Valletta.
“Metal is a large, and integral part of my life. You have to experience it to believe it and to really understand what it is.”
