Slit’s 2006 ‘Ode To Silence’ is an album which brings to light the concepts of how the mafia’s (la malavita) ways are fused into people’s ideology and everyday living. ‘’You cannot fully understand the ways of the mafia in places like Malta and Sicily if you haven’t lived in the country for a number of years’’ explains the band’s bassist Joker, who alongside drummer Gerald and vocalist Frank wrote the band’s second album as a 3 piece. Tracks such as ‘Omerta’, ‘White Shotgun’, ‘Down the gut’ and ‘Il-Halfa’ sees the band delving into accentuating their local Maltese heritage, as Frank explains ‘’The Mafia in Malta and Sicily is not about fancy cars, guns and designer suites the way Hollywood movies depict , it’s about corruption as a means to survival’’
Without compromising the sheer heaviness which became a trademark of their sound ‘Ode to Silence’ continues where Slit’s first album ‘Cronaca Nera’ (released on Retribute Records in 2005) left off. A mixture of thrash, death, sludge, hardcore which makes the band hard to define in terms of genre but at the same time a defining pinnacle in extreme music Following the release Omar Grech (from one of death metal’s most respected underground acts Beheaded) became Slit’s fourth full time member and guitarist
Anticulture Records released the band’s album in Sept 2006 after following closely Slit’s rise in the UK underground circuit backed by countless DIY tours since 2001 which gained the band a reputation of one of the most hard working new acts. Capable of holding court with any comers in the scene, Slit have shared the stage with likes of Rotting Christ, Red Harvest, Grimfist, Viking Skull, Susperia, Man Must Die, Gutworm, Happy Face and more, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Enter 2007 Slit hit the road again this time in France and Switzerland to which they will return in June as part of the line up in Hellfest alongside giants such as Machine Head, Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse, Megadeth, Kreator and more

as you may have noticed in metal hammer, terrorizer, zero tolerance and a number of other publications, we're now hurtling towards the release of our debut 'reason & abstract' EP, distributed through eulogy media. in the meantime, be sure to check our page for news on the 'leftfield winter tour 2010' with dam throughout jan / feb.
while you wait though, feast your eyes on this 'ere debut gig report from our performance on the main stage at fusion '09:
Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER. However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club! Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
the long wait is over and our new record will finally be released:
On Friday 13th, November 2009, our new album, RETURN, will be out!
Feel free to check our MySpace to listen to some songs, see a studio report and get more news about RETURN. You can order the CD via Amazon or our homepage, www.pathofgolconda.com which will be completely revamped by November 13th, too!
