A band is the result of the synergy created by individuals, with different tastes and backgrounds, merging to form a single unit. DAMAGED & CO. are no exception.

Hailing from Malta, Alternative/Melodic Metal band DAMAGED & CO. started off as a 2-man project in 2017 expanding into a full band with a complete line-up in 2018.

After releasing their first single “Here to Stay” and playing a few shows in 2018, DAMAGED & CO. performed outside their country in 2019 Sbam Fest III at Torino, Italy.

In January 2020 the band signed with HADES MANAGEMENT.

After more local shows in 2021 and 2022, the band played at the LEGEND CLUB in Milan, Italy as part of the ROCK IN PARK festival, supporting GENUS ORDINIS DEI and then at the FARSONS BEER FESTIVAL.

After releasing a self-titled EP (2022) independently, the band recorded their debut album, “Life’s Grand Delusion” at SPINESPLITTER STUDIO and worked with producer MATT HYDE (SLIPKNOT, TRIVIUM, AS I LAY DYING, THE RAVEN AGE) on mixing and mastering, which was released independently on Feb 11th, 2023.

In March, DAMAGED & CO. opened for Finnish Metal Heavyweights LORDI followed by a show at the DARK MALTA FESTIVAL in April 2023 (headlined by DEATHSTARS). The band then embarked on their first mini tour in Israel in October before returning to Malta for the HALLOWEEN MASSACE being headlined by Deathcore act CABAL.
