Promoters for the 2012 MALTA DOOM METAL FEST, set to take place 11/2-4, 2012, Republic of Malta (venue TBA) have confirmed Italian doomsters THE BLACK.

FROM MALTA DOOM METAL FEST PROMOTERS:
MDM Update X: ....and the one many have been waiting for....well at least I have bloody well been! Without further delay we can now confirm that those heavy doom metal legends THE BLACK from Italy are now added to the MDM 2012 billing...led ably by Italian true metal iconand the multi-talented Mario Di Donato (winner of the Premio Dante Alighieri for his contribution to Italian art and culture), THE BLACK are indeed one of Italy's most seminal bands on par with DARK QUARTERER and STRANA OFFICINA...so get ready for an educational tour and enjoy THE BLACK's colossal riffage...posers please stay home!


After the huge success of the past three editions of the Malta Doom Metal festival we are making the requisite preparations to ensure another worthy edition of MDM on the 2nd and 3rd of November 2012 celebrating doom metal and its diverse shades and hues with the best the genre has to offer both locally and moreover internationally. It is our resolve to continue to build this festival and ensure that Malta is the No 1 destination for doom and related genres in Southern Europe!

FOREST STREAM (RUSSIA)
SLIT (MALTA) special sludge show
HOODED PRIEST (NETHERLANDS)
SORCERER (SWEDEN)
