Maltese Metal

Maltese Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Malta in the late 1990s. It is characterized by a mix of traditional heavy metal, thrash metal, and melodic death metal, with a strong emphasis on melody and technicality. The genre is often characterized by its use of traditional Maltese instruments, such as the mandolin, and its incorporation of traditional Maltese folk music. Maltese Metal bands often sing in both English and Maltese, and the lyrics often focus on Maltese culture and history.
