The Maltese alternative / melodic metal band DAMAGED & CO. is going to release his debut full-length “Life’s Grand Delusion” on the 11th of February 2023. You can have a foretaste of the band’s sound thanks to the official video for the song “Truth” - watch it on the band’s YouTube channel!
The full-length is composed of eleven tracks (including one instrumental), written in a time span of four years, showcasing different influences from metalcore, dark/symphonic metal, and alternative metal. What makes “Life’s Grand Delusion” so brilliant and unique is the band’s ability in making every song a gem, with a clear identity, and a straight message. The songs are far from being “technical” but shine for being written by the band as a whole.
The cohesive force of the band is underlined by the high-class mixing and mastering by Matt Hyde, who has worked with bands like Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, Trivium, Machine Head, As I Lay Dying, and Chimaira. The artwork you see enclosed has been designed by Julian “Julinu” Mallia.
