San Francisco's Time In Malta is an intense three-piece hardcoreband that combines elements of melody, power, and heavy metal intoa convincing, uplifting powerhouse akin to the works of Boy SetsFire, Grade, and Shai Hulud replete with manic crunch and indiesensibility alike. The band formed in 1997 and the trio immediatelybegan writing songs and eventually producing a demo at ToastStudios, which was submitted to several independent record labels.Impressed by their dynamic yet intense approach, Escape ArtistRecords snatched up the band and released their seven-songConstruct & Demolish EP in July 1999. The band completed ashort tour of the United States in support of the EP, appearing atseveral key hardcore festivals as well before settling in tocompose material for their first full-length album. They pausedbriefly to deliver one new song and a cover of Threadbare's "InEffigy" to this "Identify, Persist, Transcend" EP released in late2000. The EP smacks of the same general heavy riffage and stylethat lie somewhere between the next up and coming core band in theindie scene and some band one might hear on a local hard rockstation. If only the right people were to hear Time in Malta, itseems like the group could achieve much of the same success thatmany of those hard rock bands have garnered. The lyrics areprobably the key difference between many modern metal bands andthis San Fran trio: Time In Malta's words are really cryptic andintelligent, and would no doubt leave the average nu-metal fanscratching his head. The combination of singing and screaming worksamicably and is necessary to note. However, the revelation that inmany regards the indie scene isn't too different from mainstreamhard rock acts can't help but make fans of D.I.Y. feel a littledepressed.
