suc·cu·bus (noun: succubus; plural noun: succubi)
1. a female demon believed to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men
That's the official definition a quick flick through the dictionary yields, but never mind all that. The only reason we've slipped it into this post is of course because later this week, on Saturday, September 17 to be precise, the first edition of the Voices of the Succubi festival will take place at Razzett L-Ahmar in Mosta.
Organized and hosted by Maltese metal act Martyrium, the festival will feature no less than 7 international metal bands, among them Martyrium (of course!) and another of Malta's leading metal bands, Weeping Silence. The other featured bands are Cryptogenic (Belgium), NordWitch (Ukraine), Aeraena (Germany), Mechanical God Creation (Italy) and last but not least, Cadaveria, also from Italy, who will be the festival's headliners. For those in the know, the connection is obvious, but for those who aren't, all the bands mentioned above are female-fronted, making this the first official international female-fronted metal festival to be held in Malta. And since the event is only a few days away, we thought of posting a few tracks to get you in the mood. Doors open at 5pm - a word of advice, make sure to get there early!
