On the Mediterranean island Malta, one does not except to find black metal bands, but there is Svartblod, the first raw black metal duo and one of the very few raw black metal projects on the island. The two musicians in Svartblod were listening to black metal years ago and musicians in black metal scene from bands like Mayhem, Darkthrone and Gorgoroth became an inspiration to start writing music.
The band was formed in 2016 with the aim to bring the Maltese black metal scene to life and eventually keep black metal for what it was created for. The name Svartblod which means "black blood", brings out the passion for black metal music. Svartblod`s current line up comprises founding members Hecate (bass/drums) and Agramon (vocals/guitar).
The bassist, Hecate, is one of the very few female musicians not just in the Maltese black metal scene but even in the local metal scene in general. Agramon`s vocals are quite unique in the black metal scene. Both Hecate and Agramon are self taught musicians. They record, mix and master all of the music by themselves.
Just recently, on 1st August, Svartblod released the six track EP named The Still Silence Of Nature. The main themes of the EP are nature, misery and even the end of humanity. The hatred towards humanity which mistreats nature inspired Hecate to write these lyrics. The entire EP is available for streaming in the player below and if you are a fan of "true" yet unique grim black metal than you wouldn't dare to miss it! Link
