"Beheaded" : тексты песен и другие тексты



Transcendental Iniquity  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Dwelling in a cold world of emptiness
Cursed to live in everlasting bitterness
Predestined existence that fails to maintain
Its radiance lost through ageing years of pain
Raging hatred flourishing disgrace
Odious retribution bestowed upon this race
Seerful images describe a dying earth
Unbegun lifes damned since their birth
An amorphous creature gnawing at a declining sanity
Forcing our minds into a revolting abnormality
Ambiguously enshrouded in transcendental iniquity
Devouring scarred lifes emerging from a sick reality
A god forsaken existence debauched in grim corruption
Eating its way towards a compelling dissolution
Dipping our fingers in a scar that shall never heal
Watching it widen as the worms within it reveals
All that"s left is a life drained of its significance
Paralysed with hatred and undisputed ignorance
A hopeless race indulging in sick abhorrence
Drowning in seas of eternal sufferance

[Solo : David]

As time eats at our last breaths within this dying world
We struggle on this plaintive journey till we meet our death
And with us all achievements shall be laid to rest
To eternally rot, with nothing we shall leave this insane earth

[Repeat verses 3 & 4]
[Repeat last 2 verses]

Perpetual Mockery  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Absorbed within this lunatic world
Premature lifes habitually misled
Messengers of a nihil belief
Dispel thoughts that deceive
Thriving on all weak identities
Devoted ones, abused subtlety
An inherited course of malice
Bestowed on those who share their chalice

[Chorus:]
Oblivious of own infirmities
To fade subserviently
Forced into a falsified reality
Perpetual mockery
Sowing seeds of adversity
Ripping at sanity
Revel in eternal sanctity
Perpetual mockery

All faith is being severed
By the fallacies that are revered
Obscured minds, impaired veracity
Fertile ground for Christianity
Beliefs void of any proof
Pay homage to a twisted truth
Spiritual icons created to elude
Emotions grimly misconstrued

[Solo: David]

[Repeat verse 3]

[Solo: Omar]

Intimidated by the thought of a second life
Restricted eyes can"t see beyond these walls of lies
Creativity"s lost, choked within a life of dissidence
False ideologies spread with malicious pretence
Rejecting moral values, reality"s slipping away
A fragile grip that"s fading, weakening day by day
A frivolous place in heaven will surely be secured
For all sacrifices that are vainly being endured

[Solo: David]
[Repeat 1st verse, chorus & verse 3]



Inborn Lust  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): O.Grech | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Strengthened by a call of abnormal parentage
Echoes reverberate off this (incantatory) patronage
My footing"s uncontrived in an urge for revelation
As I trace the aforehead voice in ascendant volition
Sun"s rays - perforate the horizon inaugurating another day
Nature"s music - halts my dream withering the night away
Dawn"s light - melts against me giving birth to a misty haze
Her voice - touches me deep setting my restless desires ablaze
Inborn lust temptates my incandescending crave
Visualising forbidden allurements -
I"m enslaved Helplessly divulging the sound emanating source
Imperative sensuality discloses to follow its course

[Repeat verse 2]

Churning and twisting
Inside these flaming scars
Unveil your stained identity
Tear off my horrid mask
Buried within my ruthless obsession [X2]

With outstretched hands I grope at the misconceived
The same voice guides me as the calling perseveres
Wallowing on planes roamed by fatidic entities
Nailed to prolonged solitude and contentment depravity

[Solos: David, Omar]

[Repeat verse 4]



Subconscious Deliverance  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Crawling down obscure passages in utter revulsion
Deeper into vaults of metaphysical interception
Radiant substances entrance this reign
Lucid visions projected from an impetuous brain

[Solo : David]

The scars that extinguished my will to be
I now behold before me
Past and present infuse become one
Hideously mutated, life"s undone
As I wallow hollowly inside this torture
Through murky clouds of an adverse texture
Ghostly beings evolve out of nothingness
Despondent animations of embodied bitterness
Unbelievable sights - my eroded sanity is at stake
Within this timeless slumber there"s no awake
Self-created purgatory - the peace I"ll never find
Here my ravaged soul shall eternally be confined
Travelling deeper inside this lunatic domain
All signs of life wither as I drown in pain
Heedless of what shall dare decide my faith
For I"ve parted from a world I"ve learnt to hate
Tired of life I crave for another existence
Where flesh and bones no longer disturb my essence
Not knowing what encounters lie waiting for me
I commit myself to this painstaking journey

[Solo: David]

Hatred rages oozing from my bleeding soul
Washing away the anguish with a life full of woe
The scars and wounds that only time can heal
Soon I will no longer be able to see nor feel
Here is where my I now shall belong forevermore
Amid these astral walls with a new life to explore
Undisturbed for all eternity,
I"ll procreate In a realm where no
God shall ever dominate



Void of Empathy  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): O.Grech | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Striving amongst walls of horrid thoughts
Pensive corridors ramify and deplete solemnly
Opposing currents in the blend of life flow by
Incessant left hand path will never cease to sigh
Unearthly presences shudder out my brain
Inhuman is their world, sanity is profaned
Tears cling to my eyes and blind my sight
Chronologically surpassed and forged in plight
The darkest silhouettes weep
In sepulchral tones of sorrow
As the gates of deepest sinisters
Are pulled apart in a repulsive climax of shrills [X2]
Attempt at conveying thoughts to words
My tortured heart pulsates, my eyes decay
What"s present in my mind is perpetually incised
From preordained gladness I"m eternally deprived

[Solo: David]

Embraced to my innerself I await the night
Empathy"s void hugs me in the absence of light
What warmed my heart and lit my way
Is now the hatred that runs in my veins
Miserable sense of being burns its path deep
The sweet fragrance of anguish draws me in my sleep
The carnal lips of death press tightly against mine
Now my weakened soul surrenders to the undivine
Spiritually chanting doom In sepulchral tones of sorrow
As the gates of deepest sinisters
Confine my deafening shouts of pain



Vae Victus  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): T.Fenech | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

"I close my eyes ... the state of metempsychosis? or transcendental dream."
Behold!
The realm of sins, metaphysical interlude.
Interdiction of realities, iridescence captivates, visual stimulation
Flight, over the seas of thought, forging grotesque imagery, foretaste
nudity so lewd
Sanguine knowledge of beyond the radiant pool of thought

[Solo: David]

Deeper travel, prelude to incrassate pool
Contact with beings, who are inarticulate, and bear no sight
Demonic chants, ringing in my ears, luring me to the misty cool
Incubus ejaculate thoughts into mine
(Halitosis lured me out of light)

[Solo: David]

Vae Victus,
Vae Victus,
Vae Victus
Dissolution of the black dove, panic consciousness
Mandatory knowledge of the mental undead
Malformed dream, malignant plaintiveness
Perpetual lunatic fringe, inquisition of the incubus draws me in
Vile derision, pixilated metamorphosis, voracious agnius dei
Mysterious master, origin unknown, rapacious rapine
Must rescind, however spellbound, dei gratia
Behold! Realms of dream, I learn metaphysical interlude
Prenatural microbe devours networks of the brain
Lactation from my nipples, effeminate eurythmy, am I insane?
Denizen of the mind, complexity of death, foretaste nudity so lewd

[Solos: David, Omar]

"O ye sons and daughters of mildewed minds close my eyes death in my sleep"



Omnipotent Carnage  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Morbid images carved inside my mind
Reoccurring thoughts left undefined
Stream of mental anguish eerily defiled
Flows through passages of the undivine
Disturbed covenant spawning malevolence
Gods clash in unbridled abhorrence
Contrived hymns chanted to ease the mind
Of forlorn disciples forever blind
Dreaming bleeding faces of man created gods
Bathing in abundant torrents nourished by their blood
On their draining endowments hungrily I consume
Growing stronger as I feed my senses bloom
Feasting on this inexorable opulent carnage
Blood soaked I indulge in this omnipotent lineage
Immortality and prophetic visions I acquire
Fulfilling my ever inexhaustible desires
Shallow creatures, self - aggrandised entities
You"re just a product of man"s mental sterility
Corrupting your way to complete domination
Time is due to obliterate this misconception

[Solo : David]

No more tortured souls of sacrificed human beings
As your presence slowly parts from the world of living
To be imprisoned in abysmal depths for the rest of all time
Putting an end to these obscure visions of mine



Souldead  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja M.Scalpello | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

"God, I mourn for my counterfeit existence in surmise I defy your spineless
... grace"
Far beyond belief resides your reality
Drowned in the inscrutable stream that baptised me
It"s chasten waters rid me of my skin
To leave my soul venturing in the realm of sin
The stale crimson sky above my head
Emanates the stench of souls that are dead
Forbidden thoughts, fruit of a morbid destiny
Now I"ll find peace in eternal blasphemy
Day after day I mourn in tribulation
You pose on your throne (while I live in damnation)
Heaven"s divinity can"t heal this affliction
Cursed is the hour of my conception
Angels praise your divine dominance
There"s no truth it all stinks of putrescence
I lust to perpetuate your crucifixion
It"s my last temptation to relieve this confliction

[Solos : David]

Suffer In Silence  | Год: 1998 | Автор(ы): D.Bugeja M.Scalpello | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Chalice of fire, heed my summons for war
Defiling false preachers an affliction of gore
Choke the vapid words of their credulous lore
So they shall reap the fruit of day no more
Ancient Gods Your will be undone
Dominions fall
Withered forever gone
Silence shed upon religious crimes
Victims tortured in the beloved name of christ
Martyrdom granted to those who abstain
Sanctifying the ones who have died in pain
The lesser ones
With vengeance I will strike
Their deftness
Shall appease my apetite



Broken Thoughts Of Righteousness  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

For years confined in an unadorned reality
Wretched & scorned by relentless atrocities
Scared to unearth truths spewing depravity
Overpowered by (opposing) figments of insanity
Dismembered dreams wither away
Choked by the anguish this world portrays
Broken thoughts of righteousness disavow
Reason of being sinking, spiraling down
A harassed mind fed on incessant lies
Stripped of own virtues, identity slowly dies
Cold inanimate beings filled with emptiness
A domain run by bearers of utter worthlessness
Unable to fight this inbred sense of defeat
Summoning ghostly shadows, dispersed in retreat
Hatred runs in arid veins, nerves start to boil
Subordination turns into hatred, raging turmoil
Beguiled hordes clash in a war born of greed
Chaos rules galore feeding on abominations seed
Bodies burn as they fall down abysmal depths
Absorbed by vortexes devouring the face of earth
Coveted gods lie vanquished in an array of impotence
Uncovering their meek and shallow form of existence
Reaching for this portal, seeking for survival
Amid scattered fragments of a shattered reprisal
Unable to fight this inbred sense of defeat
Summoning ghostly shadows, dispersed in retreat
Hatred runs in arid veins, nerves start to boil
Subordination turns into hatred, raging turmoil
Beguiled hordes clash in a war born of greed
Chaos rules galore feeding on abominations seed
Bodies burn as they fall down abysmal depths
Absorbed by vortexes devouring the face of earth



Horde Of The Stolen Sun  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

A solitary descent amid the twisting depths
Tracing the downward spiral trailed by the dead
On the merge of desperation, inhaling pain
Suffused in ruins and never to rise again
Devoid of hope - injected by binding fear
Wet my arid spirit, I bathe in lakes of tears
Wailing melodies dissatiate my craving heart
Venture to face doom and uncoil the lost art
Artistic will banishes confinements of human expression
Creativity pushed beyond the point of comprehension
Celestial music unbinds the spirit from earthly flesh
Initiating another cycle aside this realm of emptiness
Cosmic planes dominated by swarms of silence
Numb beings roam the seas of mental muteness
Frigid limbs set the path towards absolute rigor
Where howling winds are the sole agitators
Creativity pushed beyond the point of comprehension
Celestial music unbinds the spirit from earthly flesh
Initiating another cycle aside this realm of emptiness
Where the howling winds are the sole agitators
Cosmic planes dominated by swarms of silence
Numb beings roam the seas of mental muteness
Frigid limbs set the path towards absolute rigor
Dominions frozen in time, and eternally gone
Entities in wait for the day that never dawned
Skies oozing blood of the suffering ones
Drenching in red the horde of the stolen sun
Artistic will banishes confinements of human expression
Creativity pushed beyond the point of comprehension
Celestial music unbinds the spirit from earthly flesh
Initiating another cycle aside this realm of emptiness
Cosmic planes dominated by swarms of silence
Numb beings roam the seas of mental muteness
Frigid limbs set the path towards absolute rigor
Where howling winds are the sole agitators
Creativity pushed beyond the point of comprehension
Celestial music unbinds the spirit from earthly flesh
Initiating another cycle aside this realm of emptiness
Where the howling winds are the sole agitators



Recounts Of Disembodiment  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Lies spat forth this ocean of hypocrisy
Impending beings lurk in absolute ambiguity
Roaming in illusory waters of depicted rapture
Blinded through the ages of conceptual slumber
In wait for the final hour in an ascendant crave
Immure the ridden wrath within verses of hate
Rid this embodied sore from its bound existence
Disburden the essence from its somatic sufferance
Unleash the utter rage within insane inscriptions
Vivid writings portraying the aftermath of obliteration
Lies spat forth this ocean of hypocrisy
Impending beings lurk in absolute ambiguity
Roaming in illusory waters of depicted rapture
Blinded through the ages of conceptual slumber
In wait for the final hour in an ascendant crave
Immure the ridden wrath within verses of hate
Descriptions of blinding light and unearthly experiences
Recounts of disembodiment and transmigratory transilience
Erased identies unfolding in repugnant deliria
Metaphysical journeys narrated in utmost hysteria
Descriptions of blinding light and unearthly experiences
Recounts of disembodiment and transmigratory transilience
Erased identies unfolding in repugnant deliria
Metaphysical journeys narrated in utmost hysteria
Fragility cast in words of imposed submission
Feeble nature spreading since the hour of inception
Bludgeoned through unhallowed reigns of lunacy
Bloodlines disrupted within torrents of malignancy

Consecrated Absurdities  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Perpetually lurking through undefiled regions
Like a stream of sludge - a spreading contagion
Inundating all the boundaries of a dying earth
Bringing complete doom wherever it sets
Swinish fornication - procreating humanity
An ungoverned lust that transcends all rationality
Feeble creatures compelled by ignorance
Blunt against the true reason of existence
Defenseless amid outbursts of adversities
Randomly decimated by unforeseen iniquities
Inflicted atrocities are returned in a strain
To wash the filth off this shallow domain
Devastated and scattered by winds of retribution
Defying null beings enthralled in misconception
Adulated by litanies and lamentations of repent
Endlessly awaiting the day of atonement
Consecrated absurdities - icons of deception
Instilling infirmity amid an utter lack of perception
Gifted with eyes that discern the fabrics of time
Eyes that can never pertain the mentally blind
In a final hurl - together they shall be wiped away
Man and god - an alliance that is bound to fail
A fallen prey - the predator will gradually gorge
Resistance is - futile against natures scourge
Inflicted atrocities are returned in a strain
To wash the filth off this shallow domain
In a final hurl together they shall be wiped away
Man and god an alliance that is bound to fail
A fallen prey the predator will gradually gorge
Resistance is - futile against natures scourge



Compelling Derangement  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Impassively waiting as life painfully takes its toll
A narrow path of existence I behold with remorse
Compelled in derangement preordained living hell
Ceaseless tribulation in defeat I shall dwell
Self-possessed in absolute consternation
Pensive slights divulge scenes of aberration
Dismembered dreams from a bludgeoned past
Taunting last fragments of inherent lust
Burden of life I can no longer sustain
Can"t overcome this unbearable mental strain
Emerging from this deviant form of slumber
Unable to fit the mould that pushed me under
Impregnated sense of guilt pursues me
Disturbed I fall in the bizarre grips of destiny
Bestiality originating within an ill fed mind
Banish the feeble beliefs encrusted in time
A single murmur unleashed my ominous desires
Watching their faces infatuated in blazing fire
Melodic lines of agonising bodies echo restlessly
Saturating my necrotic crave for pure insanity
Drenched with ideologies I long to find
The lost path pursued by the mentally blind
The merge of a new art - dawn of creation
Projects my inner self into the astral dimension
Self-possessed in absolute consternation
Pensive sights divulge scenes of aberration
Dismembered dreams from a bludgeoned past
Taunting last fragments of inherent lust
Burden of life I can no longer sustain
Can"t overcome this unbearable mental strain
Emerging from this deviant form of slumber
Unable to fit the mould that pushed me under
Drenched with ideologies I long to find
The lost path pursued by the mentally blind
The merge of a new art - dawn of creation
Projects my inner self into the astral dimension



Inherited Plague  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Twofold existence forced upon this shell
Futile journey put to rest as precompelled
Malicious edge incised in fervent flesh
Beg to recoil amid those now laid to rest
Melancholic verses rotate within still minds
Surreal visionary inscribed in hollow eyes
Paths entwine across this distorted plane
Roads pursued upon this lunatic domain
Inherited stigmas abort distinct convictions
Eyes sewn shut the very day of conception
Pursuing a voice which yields transcendence
Entangled in a mass of echoes exhorting abhorrence
Prophecies repudiate the terror of ages to come
Fear pervades the hearts of the mentally numb
A racial plague infected the epitome of existence
Ramifying its roots in minds seeking credence
Ages darkened by forced illiteracy
Ears deafened by the sole dirge of conspiracy
Humans indicted of witchery set aflame
Prophecies repudiate the terror of ages to come
Fear pervades the hearts of the mentally numb
A racial plague infected the epitome of existence
Ramifying its roots in minds seeking credence
Ages darkened by forced illiteracy
Ears deafened by the sole dirge of conspiracy
Humans indicted of witchery set aflame
Scenes of torched bodies meeting the depths of pain
Flesh ripped to the satisfaction of the inflictors
Annointed in fire spirits freed from this earthly horror
Ethereal essence parts from its putrid remains
Heaving to the dimension where no time pertains



Fed Upon Odium  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Derision obfuscates the vision to be
Entities fed upon blinding mockery
Defunct echoes misconceived by the fresh cast
Renaissance shall banish the effigy of our past
Pulsating will sets the new legion free
Fresh ideologies injected in this mental spree
Intertwined voices haunt this malformed existence
Scriptures set ablaze to abolish the vile reminiscence
Necrose and crippled by the hand of time
Epochs fall in ageless slumber beneath grime
Evict the contents of dismal minds
Set a new pace to salvage regressing lives
Disgust inscribed on faces tensed with revenge
Odium gushes in the eye of the discontent
Dethroned lords turned to immutable slaves
Finalised coven satiates the risen crave
Pestilence spreads its wings upon a race drowned in disdain
Rotting souls scavenge amid putrefying remains
Morrow awaits the reconstruction of the new breed
The cycles revived as progenitors transmute off their seed
Necrose and crippled by the hand of time
Epochs fall in ageless slumber beneath grime
Evict the contents of dismal minds
Set a new pace to salvage regressing lives



Disdain  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Voices dwell in chambers of ages surpassed
Resentments echo within vaults suffused in the past
Thirst for insurrection remained unquenched
Alleviate this demented presence of its timeless sufferage
Perdition tightens its grip suffocating every scope
Anguish perforates its roots consuming each drop of hope
Undulating perceptions wallow within this ill-bred mind
Light cleansed away from eyes conferring black to the blind
Unassuaged existence burdened with forced derangement
Insurmountable horror disturbs this earthly confinement
Twisted meditations fruit of prolonged abstinence
Senses tortured through ages of utter penance
Twisted meditations fruit of prolonged abstinence
Senses tortured through ages of utter penance
Vain reasons unsaturate this dehumanizing intent
Significance of pleasure inversed in dismal repent
Void instigated through inebriated preachings
Perpetuated maelstorm forges this hollow sense of being
Absurdity flows incessantly from demented mouths
Regressed lore furiously spat in intimidating shouts
Pain burnt deep within this morosed sanity
Hindered into oblivion from a manipulated destiny
Voices dwell in chambers of ages surpassed
Resentments echo within vaults suffused in the past
Thirst for insurrection remained unquenched
Alleviate this demented presence of its timeless sufferage



Unbound  | Год: 2002 | Автор(ы): unknown | Последняя редакция: 21.07.2005

Contours broaden devoid of constriction
Confinements lost, freeing my affliction
Drifting beyond mortality, surpassing the divine
To revamp the off-lit art - forever shine
Terrain upon which the senseless is wisdom
Feeling my mind weaken
Unable to absorb nor give meaning
I drown in heaven
To remerge caressed by infernal spleandor
Angelic bestiality
Intertwines with demonic clemence
Forming waves
Diverged from my prescribed path I roam
Setting unrevealed parameters to my own mind
Forcing it to spread engulfing the reasons
Hidden beneath my very own creation
Blinded in a world of nonsense
Initiating journeys
Ascending into thoughts without adhering
Unboun deliberations of the human mind
Absurd rhythms and tempos give rise to
Orchestral inversions
Entangling me deeper in warmth
Below which I chill
Making me long for the solitude
Once fulfilled
Pouring the bittermost droplets
of forlorn essence



Interview: Guttural Zine  | Год: 2005 | Автор(ы): Gore | Последняя редакция: 25.07.2005

Gore: Hey Omar how are you man??First give us some infos about the current lineup and some
informations about the bandhistory.

Omar: Hello Gore and readers of this interview. I"m fine here thanks.
Beheaded was originally stitched together in 1991 when Chris Brincat drums and David Bugeja guitars teamed up to start the first death metal band in Malta. It proved to be a difficult task to find a decent line up and start writing music during those times. But the right murderers did turn up in the end, and the ‘Souldead" demo was recorded in 1995. Soon after, I replaced Tyson Fenech on guitars. Souldead was made to circulate through all the means available at the time. This demo caught the attention of a Swedish label X-Treme Records to which we signed. An album called Perpetual Mockery was recorded in 1996, but ended up being released in 1998. During those two recordings, Beheaded wrote a blend of death metal that was inclined towards a melodic style of death/grind. It reflected what the band was into at the time in fact.
Newer material started to outline a progression in the music. Notably the music got heavier, and faster. During the post ‘Perpetual Mockery" days we had also scrapped a number of songs, because we felt they didn"t reflect what we were creating then. Those songs went into oblivion and we never played them again. During that time we also had the departure of vocalist Marcello and Lawrence Joyce took the growling seat. His voice and phrasing met the new material very well.
In 1999 a 5 song promo CD was recorded. It captured the attention of a good number of labels, and we opted to sign to Danish Mighty Music. The songs on the promo were released as the ‘Resurgence of Oblivion" Mini CD in 2000. Beheaded had found its true form at that stage.
The ‘Recounts of Disembodiment" album followed the trail of its predecessor. It was released in 2002.
A year later some further changes occurred again in the line up. The vocal slot was a continuous revolving door – till Melchior Borg stepped in and put an end to that absurd situation. Also founder member and main song writer David Bugeja(guitars) decided to leave the band on amicable terms for personal reasons.
Nevertheless the band got into the gears and started writing even heavier, more technical and faster music. Chris Mintoff joined on guitars at this point. A new 2 song promo CD was recorded and was sent to a very small number of labels. Reputable label Unique Leader Records offered a deal and Beheaded accepted it happily. The new album was recorded in July 2004 and was released on March 8th 2005. It"s called ‘Ominous Bloodline".
Current line up is Myself (Omar Grech) on guitar, Chris Mintoff on guitar, Chris Brincat on drums, David Cachia bass, and Melchior Borg vocals.

Gore: Many great deathmetal bands were inspired by beheaded. Please tell us which bands
have influenced the sound of beheaded and which bands have influenced you personally?

Omar: Everyone in the band has his favourite bands, which more or less are of inspiration to us as individual musicians and finally as a whole band. I"m into Malevolent Creation, Defaced Creation, Exhorder, Suffocation, Death, Pyaemia etc, Chris(guitars) is into Meshuggah, Morbid Angel, Necrophagist, Monstrosity, Spawn of Possession , etc, David C. (Bass) is into tons of underground death-grind sick bands and lots of old school like Grave, Demigod, Massacre, etc Chris (drums)is into Nile, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, whilst Melchior(vocals) is into Suffocation, Vader, Decapitated etc.

Gore: Normaly, no one thinks about deathmetal if someone talks about Malta.Do you have any
ideas, why a small country like malta has so many awesome Bands(Abysmal Torment,Hemlock for example) ??
And what is your opinion about the Deathmetal scene in malta.

Omar: The country is so small here, with less than 400,000 inhabitants. It"s not really the case that we have a ‘death metal" scene in Malta. I would rather call it a ‘metal/punk" scene. The scene in general here is so small that it would be senseless to chop it in smaller pieces. Some of the few festivals that are set up here with local bands usually contain bands which range from punk to death metal. That"s something that would be unthinkable to do in other countries, but here in Malta it makes sense because it brings the local scene together and pulls a decent crowd.
As far as the local Death Metal goes there"s Abysmal Torment which is doing pretty well. There are other bands like Lithomancy, Arachnid and Achiral.

Gore: I"m thinking that you guys have written deathmetal history with the current album Ominous Bloodline. Tell us some responses about the new album.It"s also released by unique leader. Have you any idea how many copys were sold up to now?

Omar: Thanks for your kind words Gore. The response we"re having is really good. The majority of reviews gave positive comments, and the feedback in general is very good. Ominous Bloodline has been released for 3 months now, and Unique Leader has repressed it 3 times already. It"s good from the label"s point of view to see that its releases reach a good amount of sales.

Gore: How have you guys become the deal with Unique Leader Records?Are you guys happy with the deal??How is the relationship between
Erik(Deeds of Flesh) the boss of Unique leader and Beheaded??

Omar: As stated elsewhere in this interview, we recorded a 2 song promo in November "03. We just sent it to about 6 labels only, and one of them was Unique Leader. They showed interest in signing us and we accepted happily. There is mutual respect from both ends and so the relationship is really good. I try to keep in touch with Erik periodically and discuss any queries I might have. We definitely feel at home on this label.

Gore: Tell us something about your gigs.What was the best live experience and what was the most worse gig?

Omar: Our shows are pretty straightforward. We usually hang our logo at the back of the stage. Sometimes, we use an intro to add to the anticipation. Our vocalist, isn"t the type of frontman that talks a lot in between songs, so we just carry on with the set and let the music speak for itself. We always try to deliver a pounding performance.
Our best live experience should be our appearance at the Fuck The Commerce in 2002. Our worst gig was probably the one in Dallas in the US, when the promoter of the club in which we were supposed to play in did not show up and one of the support bands improvised a gig in another venue without any promotion at all. You can guess the results of that.

Gore: Beheaded will headline the NRW Deathfest 2005.I can"t wait to see you guys again on stage.What"s your opinion
about the german crowd and the german Deathmetal scene?You like some German Bands??
Omar: I really like to play in Germany. Each time we have played there, we have had a good time and met really cool people. We headlined the Ludwigshafen Deathfest last year and was really cool. I can"t wait to play at the NRW Deathfest now. Yes bands I like are Anasarca, Defeated Sanity, Necrophagist, Sinners Bleed and older bands like Morgoth.

Gore:How long you"re playing guitar??And how long you"re playing guitar for beheaded??
You have any favourite guitar players??

Interview: Brutalism  | Год: 2005 | Автор(ы): Twan | Последняя редакция: 25.07.2005

- Please give us a short introduction of yourself?

Hello Twan and readers of this interview! I"m Omar Grech, and I"ve been part of Beheaded for a good decade now, since I joined this murder squad in 1995. My role in the band is far from just playing guitar. I write lyrics, come up with a good chunk of the music, and manage most of the stuff in the band in conjunction with Chris (drums).

- So why are you doing the inties for the band? Others too lazy?

Hehehe – Answering interviews is usually a job I do gladly. So here I am answering your questions.

- Can you tell why Beheaded was founded? What was the goal and has it been achieved?

Beheaded was stitched together back in 1991, with the intention of being a blistering death grind act. Being from Malta has never facilitated matters, due to the island"s geographic location. But having said that, I feel that we have overcome that situation through the music we have created over the span of years. We have strived to push the band forward with each release and through the various decisions we took in passing from one record label to the other. We"re satisfied to have joined one of the sickest roster of bands on the planet since we got signed by Unique Leader Records, and this has made all the effort throughout the past years worth the sweat. So, in view of all this I believe that the primary goal has been achieved. We"re now looking at the future with ambition and look forward to tour and release memorable material on this kick ass label.

- Malta is not exactly a country know for metal. So how did you came in contact with metal music?

My first contact with Metal was when I heard Iron Maiden and Dio when I was like 11. I was hooked by the sounds of the guitars mainly, and after that I just wanted to explore other faster and heavier genres of Metal. I used to dig the Thrash bands so much. Bands like Exhorder, Slayer, Kreator, Sadus, Forbidden, Atrophy, Devastation, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Testament etc. However I found my style when I heard Death Metal for the first time. I remember listening to Obituary in 1989/1990. That music to me was like as if I opened a new door. I had friends at school who shared my same tastes in music and nearly all of them played in bands at that time. I had my own band at that time as well - it was called Dusk. However when I was offered the guitar slot in Beheaded I accepted it happily, because it was a band with great qualities and ambitions from day one.

- Can you remember the first record you bought yourself? Do you still buy music?

Yes the first record I bought was Powerslave by Iron Maiden. I still buy music from time to time, but lately my money has gone in guitar equipment rather than CD"s.

- What are the advantages of hailing from Malta?

Since Malta is so small, we don"t have to travel for hours to reach our rehearsal place. I look at this fact as an advantage over other bands in other countries who can only rehearse as a whole band on very rare occasions due to the long distances they have to travel. We also have a cool studio facility here, called Temple Studios. The owner is a cool friend of ours and always accepts to work with us. This studio is like a large villa situated in Mistra Bay and the scenery there is breath taking. Just to give you an idea, this studio has been used by Philip Boa, Farmer Boys, Rammstein, Such a Surge, Zornik etc. Usually it"s hired by big record labels and they send the producers with the bands over here. I find it ultra cool for us to be able to work in total ease in that environment.
Those are the main advantages I can think of really.

- And what about the wobbly fucking roads on Malta. What a crime....

Yeah as regards Maltese roads I share your same opinion. They suck big time. Luckily for us and for the numerous tourists that visit our country new ones are being constructed from scratch to a good standard. Fingers crossed these new roads will endure the test of time, and our summer heat.

- Can you tell the difference between US and Europe style of death metal? Which do you prefer?

In general the European style of death metal has always contained a good dose of melody as opposed to the US death metal which was more inclined towards a more brutal approach. In the former years of Death Metal (late 80"s / early 90"s) the differences were more evident. The Swedish death metal scene had its niche of bands which more or less forged the sound of the European death metal of those years. Bands like Entombed, Dismember, Carnage, Edge of Sanity are just 4 examples. Other bands like Morgoth from Germany, Pestilence from Holland, Benediction and Bolt Thrower from the UK also had melody incorporated in their music.
However, in those same years, the American Death Metal had a different approach in that, the bands of those years were characterized by the brutality and technique contained in their music. New York bands have surely left their indelible mark in the US death metal sound. Suffocation is the first name that comes to mind, but like it there were others like Morpheus Descends, Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia, and Baphomet.
Nowadays the situation has changed a bit, because a number of European bands have adopted an American sound, and the same happened with some American bands who adopted a European sound. I like bands from both areas of death metal, and in fact Beheaded"s early material was a mixture of both. But nowadays we find it more challenging to play technical and brutal music which has inevitably steered away from the European sound. But there are still European elements in our music, especially in the mid paced parts.

- With your preference where do you like to tour the most? Is it easy to score gigs?

We have had the opportunity to tour both in the US and Europe. We find European crowds to be less cold towards the bands. Usually in Europe the clubs even offer meals etc to the bands, that"s something which was lacking when we did the US tour in 2002. There is more of a brotherhood between bands in Europe. It could be that we were unfortunate to encounter the wrong people at the wrong times when we toured the US but that"s the idea we got. In general we found that the European crowds are friendlier with the musicians. Of course there are exceptions to this.
Having said that however, I would like to embark on a proper US tour in future, set up by a competent organizer. And I would also like to play in Canada, because we had missed that occasion in 2002, when the organizer of the shows we had booked failed to get us the permits we needed and our ex-manager ended up arrested for trying to get us across the boarder ‘illegally". I feel we have a sort of debt with the Canadian scene because of that incident.
It"s not very difficult to secure gigs for Beheaded, especially in Europe. I have tried it myself last year when we did a mini tour with our Belgian friends Prejudice, because lots of the dates were booked by myself.

- How does a show look/sound like? Why should people come to visit Beheaded?

Our live performances are very straight forward. We usually hang our Logo Banner behind our drum kit and sometimes we use an intro to add to the anticipation. But once the music starts rolling, we deliver it with sheer crushing brutality. Our vocalist is not the type of front man that talks a lot in between songs and we carry on with the set and let the music speak for itself. Sometimes we alter parts of older songs and make them more live oriented, this is something which worked well during our live sets and we"ll keep on doing it. If someone wants to experience a pounding death metal gig played with full force - then he should give us a try.

- What is the biggest and embarresed mistake you made on stage?

I can"t really recall any since we get on stage quite focused and we"re well rehearsed. But a somewhat funny incident happened some months ago when during a gig, Melchior planned to walk around the crowd and start singing before getting up on stage but the wireless receiver went berserk… so there went our surprise start… heheh

- What should people do to obtain free tickets?

Play in a band, no? hehehe

- Being a internatinal rockstar do you take advantage of the groupies who introduce themselves?

Hehhehhehhe –Does beer count as a groupie? If yes I"m a fucking Casanova – hehehe.

- If you are at home not busy with the band, what do you? What kind of work and is this something you studies for?

I work as an Environmental Health officer with the Dept of Public Health here. Yes, I obtained a Diploma in Environmental Health Studies in 1998 and have since worked with the Government in this field. As for the other members, Chris Mintoff – guitars is still studying and working part time jobs, Melchior – vocals has finished his studies in IT studies and is temporarily working with Marks and Spencer, David – Bass is employee in a toy factory (no, not sex toys), and Chris Brincat – drums is a qualified nurse and is head of shift at the Intensive Therapy Unit.

- And what do you like to do in your free time? Do you collect something? Sports?

I used to drag race for a number of years and me and my older bro had built a car each to go drag racing with them. I used to have a good time modifying these old cars and then go at the track and try out the different stuff we used to experiment. It"s a sport that required lots of money and time. But around 2 years ago I decided to have a break and concentrate on Beheaded. I have also bought a new home very recently and that means that my racing days have been paused for some more years now. I still go to watch drag racing meetings at the local drag strip, but I"m much more into the band than into the racing thing.

- Is Beheaded ever asked for writing music for a movie? What kind of movie would you like to do?

We were never approached by anyone to do something like that. The only occasion I can think of, where we could be hired to appear in movies is something similar to what Cannibal Corpse did on Ace Ventura. Lots of movies are shot in Malta and it could be that some director would require a death metal band for some particular scene. In that case he could count on us. But to be honest I see very little chance of this happening!

- Ever thought of joining forces with other companies to expant the fanbase?

I would like to see Beheaded included on a solid tour package in 2006. I feel that we still have to be heard and seen by a lot of people who are as yet to experience our music. That would be a good way to reach new people and it"s something we"ve been thinking about to do. Fingers crossed we"ll manage to do it next year. Next September we will be hitting the road with Mortal Decay and Brutus while doing the Gutting Europe Tour. We"ll be visiting countries like the UK and France, where we have never played live, so this will help us reach new people also.

- How does an average Beheaded fan look like? Like to get in touch with them?

Average Beheaded fan?! Hehehe – We make part of the death metal underground, and the ‘fans" I know of in this scene are followers of this whole extreme music scene, not just one particular band. Most often they are musicians themselves and they support the scene in general by visiting shows and come around and talk with other band members.
That"s a very cool aspect of this scene as opposed to other music scenes. I see a lot of mutual support from lots of bands and this is a fact that should make each and one of us proud of this scene we make part of.

- What are the reactions on the latest album? And are you happy with the UL record deal?

I"m very pleased with the general reaction from the scene vis a vis ‘Ominous Bloodline".
Most of the reviews gave very good comments, and these have outlined an improvement on all fronts with respect to our previous release ‘Recounts of Disembodiment". For us, having ended in the plans of Unique Leader is like we have found our true home. As stated elsewhere in this interview we"re proud to make part of the sickest roster of bands on the planet, and we"ll do our best to deliver memorable material on this great label.

- Do your grandparents get a free album?

Hehehe - Oh man, yeah really! My grandma has preferred ‘Ominous Bloodline" to ‘Recounts of Disembodiment", but her favorite remains our debut ‘Perpetual Mockery". :)

- Will there be a time when Beheaded is on top of there capabilities? What will happen then?

I don"t really foresee that happening. Beheaded IS a summation of our capabilities as band members and as such it will always reflect our own work and creativity. No one is dictating us what to do in our music. And so we have always produced the music we loved doing most, and this is the way we want to work 100%.

- Ever dealt with a creative stop? Where do you get inspiration from?

This music style for us is the medium through which we feel most at ease to express our creativity. We have always created our music with much ease since it comes very natural for us to build up songs in this style of music. Inspiration could come from anywhere and from nowhere! I mean I could be listening to an album and it would inspire me to create a riff there and then in that instant. Other times, a particular riff would be ringing in my head and I just convey it onto my guitar. The lyrics on the other hand just occur in my head and I try to find the best word to interpret my thoughts in the most interesting way possible. Sometimes our lyrics project quite surreal scenarios, which are quite deranged and unthinkable. But they reflect the music and the type of artworks we use a lot. We try to link everything together in fact.


- Anything to add that is important?

Yes, we"ll be hitting the road in September on the Gutting Europe Tour with Mortal Decay and Brutus. We"ll be playing in numerous European countries, including UK, Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Czech Republic and more are being confirmed. We"ll be headlining the NRW deathfest in Germany too. The dates will be available very soon at this web site: www.laceratedenemy.com . Anyone who has yet to experience our blend of Death Grind is urged to get his copy of ‘Ominous Bloodline" from Unique Leader Records www.uniqueleader.com .

- Last rites?

Thanks again Twan for the cool interview, much appreciated. Let"s keep a healthy scene – we have a web site at www.beheaded.net any news and updates can be found there.– Brutal Greetings from Beheaded!
