ACHIRAL started out in Oct. 1995 with the intent of playing music in the thrash/death
metal vein. Rehearsals culminated in the release of the first demo tape DARK
WATERS in March of 1998. Dark Waters was recorded in 3days at Padded Cell Studios
and includes 30min of Thrash/Death/Black metal with melodic and experimental
touches which showed what ACHIRAL (then a four piece) had been up to for the
last two years. After the release of the demo the 2nd guitarist decided it was
best to leave the band for his and the band's own good.
After this ACHIRAL decided to forge on as a trio and we started
working on new material. Most of the melodic and experimental parts were put
aside to more straightforward metal style combining crushing metal riffs, infernal
dual vocal attack, pounding battery and ripping guitar solos. 
ACHIRAL performed intensely around Malta in a number of festivals including the Grim Reaper annual metalfest, Rock in the Woods open air fest, Bisoul Promotions's Equinox Dark Art Night, Metal Mind fest, Metal at Lust 2002 supporting Germans AD NOCTUM and ABYZZ, and in a number of gigs with a number of other local bands, among which a support slot with locals BEHEADED and Czech. Rep. FLESHLESS.
During 4 arid days of August 2001 ACHIRAL recorded their debut CD at Temple Studios. WANDER IGNITE was officially released in January 2002 during the airplay of Malta's premier Metal Radio Show GRINTA. WANDER IGNITE shows the progress and new attitude adopted since the release of DARK WATERS. The sinister intro Into the Arid sets up the atmosphere for the trio to blast their way at full speed for the next 32min through Equinoctial Desires, Stark & Silent, Wandering Knight and Spiraling …. travelling through ancient far away lands encountering mythological entities, rage, anger, despair and human struggle in an intricate weaving of emotions and forgotten legends.
Currently ACHIRAL are working hard to promote themselves in the underground circuits worldwide and are working on new material that will be included in a future release.
