Damaged & Co.
Known for their stage antics, use of props and costumes, DAMAGED & CO. always sets the bar higher to deliver a fun filled performance, engaging the crowd's interaction.
Hailing from the small island of Malta, Alternative Metal band DAMAGED & CO. started off as a 2-man project in 2017 under a different name. After picking up momentum the project expanded to a full band, with a complete line-up, in 2018.
After releasing their first single “Here to Stay”, followed by their live debut, the band played a few local shows in 2018. DAMAGED & CO. had their first taste of performing outside their country in 2019 when they were invited to take part in Sbam Fest III Edizione at Torino, Italy.
2 new Singles, recorded in 2019 (“Kill o’Clock” & “Broken Fields”), were released in 2019 & 2020 respectively. In January 2020 the band signed with Hades Management.
After the pandemic, DAMAGED & CO. hit the stage again in October 2021, for a sold-out show at the annual “Halloween Massacre Event” at “The Garage”, following with appearances in 2022 at the “City Theatre” in Valletta, another show overseas, this time at the “Legend Club” in Milan as part of "Rock in Park 2022" and closing off the summer at the prestigious “Farsons Great Beer Festival” in August.
After releasing a self-titled EP (2022), the band finalized recording their debut album, “Life’s Grand Delusion” at SpineSplitter Studio and worked with renowned producer Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, The Raven Age) on mixing and mastering. The album was released on Feb 11th, 2023.
On March 31st Damaged & Co. opened for Finnish Metal Heavyweights LORDI at the Aria Complex in San Gwann followed by a show at the Dark Malta Festival in April 2023 (headlined by DEATHSTARS).
