Malta’s rising melodic metal force DAMAGED & CO. unleashes the fiery lyric video for “Clenching Fists,” a track from their critically acclaimed debut album, “Life’s Grand Delusion,” out via Wormholedeath.

“Clenching Fists” is a visceral portrayal of a soul pushed to the brink, ready to explode in a primal fury. Gone are civility and hope for compromise. All that remains are clenched fists, raw aggression, and deep breaths fueling the inferno within. This is a raw, unfiltered journey into the heart of rage and defiance, where every lyric pulses with the intensity of an impending clash.

“Life’s Grand Delusion” marks the explosive debut of Damaged & Co., a potent blend of metalcore, dark symphonic metal, and alternative influences. Crafted over four years, each of the album’s eleven tracks delivers a unique message, delving into existential themes of life, death, and the battles we fight within. A melancholic yet mature atmosphere pervades the album, accentuated by the masterful mixing and mastering of Matt Hyde (UK), ensuring both clarity and raw emotional power. Released via Wormholedeath, “Life’s Grand Delusion” comes packed with an additional three bonus tracks, ensuring a truly immersive experience.

DAMAGED & CO’s journey began in Malta in 2017 as a duo, blossoming into a full-fledged band in 2018. Their ambition transcended borders, leading them to conquer stages in Italy by 2019. Singles like “Here to Stay,” “Kill o’Clock,” and “Broken Fields” propelled them forward, culminating in a well-deserved signing with HADES MANAGEMENT in 2020. After a pandemic-induced hiatus, they stormed back onto the scene in 2021, delivering a string of powerful performances that continued to garner acclaim throughout 2022 and 2023. Their Matt Hyde-produced debut, “Life’s Grand Delusion,” solidified their position as a force to be reckoned with.

DAMAGED & CO has graced the same stage as metal royalty like LORDI and rocked festivals like DARK MALTA and FARSONS BEER FESTIVAL. Their insatiable drive led them to play in major events in Malta and countries such as Italy and Israel. They have set their targets to perform in other countries and break into the festival circuit.
