Now running into its fifth edition, the MALTA DOOM METAL FESTIVAL is a two day doom metal bonanza held at the Buskett Roadhouse at the Buskett gardens in the outskirts of the ancient Roman city of Rabat, Malta. It brings together the best that the genre has to offer, covering all its diverse shades and hues, and some associated genres too. Since its inception in 2009 the festival has built a strong reputation for top quality bands and a community spirit that underscores the strong ties of the international doom scene. The organisers are committed to ensure another great edition of the festival on all fronts and invite you all to what is now the undisputed leading doom metal festival in Europe.

"We can thus announce two additions to this year's billing who are more than worthy replacements to the above - from Wales, we bring you those uncompromising and long-serve doom death merchants THE DROWNING, while heavy groove doomsters IRON HEARSE from Swindon, England will be rounding off this year's billing."They have now revealed the complete festival lineup, which is more than worth to come to Malta. Doom Metal Front has already booked the tickets for the flight to the Isle of Doom, where FORSAKEN and NOMAD SON were born. We will hopefully meet there on the 25th of October 2013.
